do you think Trump can overcome the embarrassment that comes with the releasing such a tape to the MSM? He says he can shoot someone in the middle of Times Square and get away with it - why couldn't he overcome the pee tape?
And further - if he does - he wouldn't have that hanging over him anymore and wouldn't be able to continue to be blackmailed into aiding Putin. He could then turn on Putin and really put Putin in his place.
Oh - yes - I forgot - he'd still have to deal with the collusion/conspiracy issue.

He cares if the "pee tapes" have underaged girls in them ... that's a crime.
He doesn't care what stinky poor people think about him

That's what keeps Cheeto in line.

(463 posts)It's amazing when you think about it. The House Minority Leader just said an American president is compromised.
And she made no bones about what she was saying.

I think what Putin, and others, have on trump is likely financial.

(52,164 posts)i really see zero indication of reluctance. he's not acting conflicted or compromised. he's acting like an enthusiastic participant who thinks riches await him by selling out america.
that said, no doubt putin has kompromat on him.
but it's likely far worse than a mere affair, even if with a hooker or two, even if it involves peeing.
if it's sexual, then as edwin edwards used to say... it's either a dead girl or a live boy.

(155 posts)Or if there is, his supporters are already pretty acclimated to the idea. He could weather that storm.
But if he has knowingly accepted laundered Russian financing, that could bring his entire business empire crashing down. No one on the planet would ever touch him or his family again (assuming he wasn't locked up.)
No, he is afraid that real crimes will be exposed. He has no choice but to continue with this ridiculous charade of a presidency.

(100,054 posts)He is embarrassed by nothing. The scary thing right now is I'm sure there are kids out there asking "mommy what's a golden shower?". And I don't think they want to Google that shit!

I envision a situation where, if the truth came out, trump's exposure would financially and socially devastate him.
That's what I think is most likely at play.
