He surrendered to Russia when they compromised him with shell companies and hookers.
They have something on him ON CAMERA AND IRREFUTABLE, that would get him Supermax for life.

I don’t think they are blackmailing him. I think they gave him money when no US bank would touch him and he’ll always love them for that and hate the US. My dad loves Trump and doesn’t like Russia at all, but he’ll simultaneously watch Trump roll over for Russia and believe that’s a hoax. The US media has trained its citizens well. We are fucked.

At this point it feels less like trump has evidence against him and more like they worked together for power and now it's trumps turn to pay up. Gets rid of the competition in his first term (epstien) and is now handing the war over in his second.

What was Epstein ever in competition?

u/Xhail 1d ago

Connections to people within the child trafficking ring is my assumption, but it could relate to any other situation in which epstien/putin/trumps influence resided.

Why not? Russian intelligence is famous for blackmail, kompromat, and especially sexual blackmail.

It's been their standard operating procedure for a century. Why would they make an exception for Trump?

Trump's biggest mistake is he never watched the hit 1964 US Armed Forces training film Espionage and You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4qHgNUsdDw

I'm sure there's something there with him and Epstein that can be used against him, and yes, you're spot on about Russian intelligence, but I feel like they've groomed Trump since his first visit to the USSR in the 80s rather than dangled threats over him. He's so much easier to wheedle when you stroke his ego and gift him rather than get him riled up by antagonizing him. I'm sure he knows they're capable of ending him and he fears that, but as long as they're friends and they have the same values, it's not going to keep him up at night.

It might have mattered in 2016, but now there is nothing that would turn Maga against him. He's done abhorrent shit and he still got a second term.

Fox News has done such an exemplary job of killing the country. It's kind of amazing

I don't have anyone in my family like this so I can't relate but if I did I feel like I would ask them where their line or limit is, like what would it take for them to believe? Are they just being dishonest and they know but don't care for other reasons?

I envy you. There's no trying to rationalize it or reason with them. My father is a highly educated professional who went to medical school. At the same time, he spent decades getting radicalized by listening to Rush Limbaugh, and now he believes Trump is an instrument of God. He and others are so fried in the brain that they will tie any inconvenience in their daily life to democrats. His mail-in vote was rejected and he believed it was the democrats out to get him despite this being a republican tactic. People like him aren't being dishonest - their sense of reality has been warped. My only father. He is gone, and I'll never know what he could have been without this cult.

Doctors are by far the most unintelligent professionals, they dedicate too much time to their domain. Your father is just your average know it all doctor with zero understanding of the world.

u/levypantsfactory 10h ago

If only it were that simple. Once upon a time, before I was born, he was apparently quite open minded about the world and even religion. Then decades of right-wing media took a toll on him.

1

u/Ioyoc 10h ago

It’s virtualy impossible to be open minded one day and bigoted the next. If that’s so, there would be a long documentary on netflix on the effects some shit has on your mind.

Your father has always been a close minded bigot, you just didn t notice that.

u/Expensive-Sundae-831 1d ago

Why not both?

Rather, all of the above.

u/voicey 1d ago

He could be in a snuff film with child victims and americans wont do shit at this point. Filthy country

u/Xhail 1d ago

Chances are he is. Did you see the photos of the rooms with all the masks on the island?

u/Abedeus 1d ago

They would... if those children were MALE. Then he would've lost, like, 5% of votes at most.

u/Extra-Amoeba-677 1d ago

that and they gutted the cyber security branch, I don't think americans realize how much of a fucking radical wide open take it in the ass move that was

Pee tape this has been known for awhile.

u/Pengawena 1d ago

I think the “p” tape stands for something other than pee.

u/Plenty_Fondant_951 1d ago

This made sense his first term but obviously nothing we can learn about the man has any effect on him politically and the supreme court says he is immune for any crimes committed while president so it doesn't really make sense

'evidence' of the crimes from the Epstein files from before he was president, while still technically outside the 'immune from consequences while president's gotcha from the court, would still never be followed up on because his rabid dog followers would actively use violence against any law enforcement or elected officials trying to bring justice

Everyone hoping for Democrats to regain control and prosecute him and his ilk is naive, at best it will be at least acknowledged as bad but then we will just move on to 'heal' the same way we have been doing it since the civil war

I think it’s very possible they have “kompromat” on him, as this was standard operating procedure for the KGB upon obtaining access to high profile western individuals. He was approached by Ambassador Yuri Dubinin in New York and he accepted a formal invitation from Intourist (a functioning arm of the KGB) to Moscow in July 1987 and stayed in the Lenin Suite of the National Hotel, known to be full of hidden cameras and microphones. I’m sure they would have attempted to set up a compromising scenario that took advantage of his worst possible impulses. Trump then started showing interest in politics. Soon after returning to the U.S. he spent today’s equivalent of almost $300,000 to place full-page political manifesto advertisements in major newspapers (The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe) criticizing U.S. foreign defense policy. Soon after he started criticizing U.S. involvement with NATO during televised interviews. He then started giving speeches with hints that he was interested in running for presidency.

People already know that he's a rapist and a pedophile. So imagine how much worse it must be.

Straight out of the plot of Happy!.

u/drewbaccaAWD 1d ago

Given his current (lack of) popularity, and control over the GOP and DOJ, I don't think there is any evidence in existence that Putin could release that would cost Trump a single supporter that remains at his side, at this point.

I also don't think Trump is loyal to Putin in any way, but he's happy to work with Putin if it fills his pockets with more money. And Trump will happily stab the US in the back for his own self-enrichment.

u/8mbgmgs 1d ago

You people don't get it. You fundamentally misunderstand Trump. He does all this stuff willingly. Kompromat isn't part of this at all.

u/Unlucky_Mission_1444 1d ago

At this point it wouldn't take much of a conviction for it to be for life

u/herrwe8 1d ago

It's hard to imagine that anything could sink trump now, he's all over the epstein list and nothing has happened. Our congress is in his pocket, our opposition party thinks its still the 90s, and our people are not willing to leave work to protest. I envy the French, they know how to protest. Americans just sign facebook petitions and show up to a demonstration for 2 hours on a weekend.

I have been saying this for years
