Let's Say The Pee Tape Is Real......

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.

1. Again Red Don doesnt care about people seeing him get peed on, he openly sexualizes his own daughter

... multiple times live.

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

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.

Yes, he's screwed. That's all hypothetical though.

6. The tape was well known/rumored -- if not seen -- before the election. Didn't bother GOPers who

wanted a white wing racist for Prez, no matter the cost.

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

7. first, he's far more motivated by carrot than by stick.

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.

8. No pee tape

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.

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!

10. I don't think trump's issue is the pee tape

It's the money.

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.

13. Pee tape is not nothing, it is something, along with emoluments, and 1001 minor 'minor' issues

These minor issues add up in the 2018 trump political referendum election, as well as courtroom circumstantial/supporting evidence.
