Blackmail.
He now is privy to more information that ever before. It would be simple to get info. on Jackson's problems, do a carrot and stick, and Bob's you uncle.
I think that is his modus operandi, and has been for years.
It explains how he has all these skeevy friends who loudly defend him, lie for him, etc.
Would explain why he is coming up with thoughts, not to mention phrases, of threatening Rand Paul and Tester, a few others of late.
And leaves no doubt that someone powerful enough to get HIS attention is making him their acting President.
dunno...whadda ya think?
insight into how Trump got Ronny Jackson to lie for him.

Authoritarianism experts say to keep a list of things subtly changing around you
so you will remember.
Fortunately, Amy Siskind has kept such a list, divided into each week since Trump was illegally installed in the WH.
I urge everyone to check it out...it is an on-going process.

Remember Trump's body man John McEntee got fired then hired by the campaign? Funny thing is
Two weeks into his new job, he'd already received $22K in salary payments.according to an Attorney in Washington, DC; who is a blogger at The View From LL2; podcaster at @Undisclosedpod and @45thpod.

June 16 Trump announces that he is running for president.
July The Main Intelligence Directorate, or GRU, which is responsible for intelligence collection for the Russian military, gains access to the Democratic National Committee computer network and maintains that access until at least June 2016, when the hacking plot was publicly disclosed. (This is according to a report issued Jan. 6, 2017, by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.)
Oct. 13 Felix Sater, a Trump business associate, sends an email to Michael Cohen, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, about a proposal to build a Trump-branded residential and commercial building in Moscow. Saters email includes a letter of intent signed by Andrey Rozov, owner of I.C. Expert Investment Co., of Moscow, to build Trump World Tower Moscow. Sater, an American citizen who was born in Russia, tells Cohen to have Trump sign the agreement and send it back. The agreement would have given the Trump Organization a $4 million upfront fee, no upfront costs, a percentage of the sales, and control over marketing and design. Sater writes, Lets make this happen and build a Trump Moscow. And possibly fix relations between the countries by showing everyone that commerce & business are much better and more practical than politics. That should be Putins message as well, and we will help him agree on that message. (CNN would later obtain a copy of the email and the agreement.)
Oct. 28 Trump signs a letter of intent with a Moscow-based developer, I.C. Expert Investment Co., to pursue Trump Tower Moscow a licensing project in which Trump would be paid for the use of his name on a building in Moscow. (Cohen would later disclose the project in a statement provided to congressional investigators on Aug. 28, 2017, according to the Washington Post. The decision to pursue the proposal initially, and later to abandon it were unrelated to the Donald J. Trump for President Campaign, Cohen told Congress.)

The Supreme Court is set to hear a seemingly minor case later this month on the status of administrative judges at the Securities and Exchange Commission, an issue that normally might only draw the interest of those accused of stock fraud.
But the dispute turns on the president's power to hire and fire officials throughout the government. And it comes just as the White House is saying President Trump believes he has the power to fire special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
Trump's Solicitor Gen. Noel Francisco intervened in the SEC case to urge the high court to clarify the president's constitutional power to fire all "officers of the United States" who "exercise significant authority" under the law.
