Trump's response to this will prove once and for all whether or not Putin has serious kompromat on him.

If in the next day or two, Trump quietly backs off his deal with Zelensky for the rights to the Rare Earths...Putin definitely has something on him.

If Trump doubles down with his usual ego and bravado;

a) I would actually be surprised that his presidency could accomplish one...good...thing by going all in with Ukraine to win the war. and...

b) He'll be heading out a window soon because his greed overtook his loyalty to daddy Poots, losing in the coveted useful idiot status.

Really, what could Putin possibly have on Trump that's worse than what is already well publicized?

Can anyone think of one thing that would sink trump now? I cant.

Trump fears ridicule. So just some video of prostitutes peeing on him and being ridiculed for it would be something he’d avoid, and that was the previous rumour.

I used to think child sex, but I don’t know that he’d be as easy to control. He fears ridicule more than horror.
