Reasons given for Trumps treason are usually: Compromat, threats to him or his family, threats to

his properties. I want to include that Trump might be acting because of all of those but primarily because of promises of incredible wealth and power given him by Putin. Whether achievable or not Trump, imo, would be most susceptible to promises of Imperial power over the U.S. and trillions of dollars in oil money from Russia's undeveloped deposits being made more available by global warming.

Trump and Putin don't give a damn about future generations. They will die and it will be relatively soon. They just want to hold on to as much wealth and power as they possibly can before then.

In short, the idea of REWARDS promised to Trump in the future for his treason need to be considered as well as whether he has been threatened or "material" is possessed by Russia that might be embarrassing or incriminating.

What do you think?

1. It has to be both

to control his behavior so well.

6. I've thought that for some time.

It's the profits from Rosneft, profits he steals for himself from the presidency, maybe even forgiveness of Russian bank loans? However, I do believe it's also kompromat and not just the pee tapes but trump talking about how they would steal the election for him.
It's a lethal 1 - 2 punch with the traitorous demented criminal narcissist. Putin will let it out eventually, after he's gotten everything he thinks he possibly can. He is no friend of drumpf, and will destroy him while he's attempting to destroy America. The only funny part would be the rw getting whiplash turning on Russia when that happens.

2. Sucking Putin's dick......

Has to be so exhausting, that he has to continue to SELL OUT the United States in order to protect his fragile ego.

Russians do not take prisoners. They torture and slowly kill those who oppose them. Trump is owned body and soul by Putin. Robert Mueller knows this.

3. I think it is a combination of

the fact that Putin has compromising info on Cheeto - not some silly pee tape, but probably Trump raping an underage girl at an Epstein/Dershowitz "party" - and the fact that Trump was promised a share in the Rosneft Oil deal.

Every business venture Cheeto has entered into has turned to shit. In the Rosneft deal, he would have had no responsibilities and wouldn't have the opportunity to fuck it up. Putin wouldn't want him involved. All Cheeto had to do was go along with Putin, then sit back and watch the profits roll in.

At his core Trump is just stupid and greedy.

Dolt45 wouldn't give a rat's ass if his family members or friends or business associates were threatened. Except for daughter-wife.

4. Trump Calls Putin His Competitor.....

Is he competing with Putin to become the richest and most powerful man in the world?
