Money laundering/Russian backed loans other assorted financial malfeasance is my guess.

If it is a tape it would have to be much worse then that.

And as for Epstein...well, we know Trump was on many of Epstein's flights and at Epstein's "parties."

Note how Trump talks about Ivanka, or the things he's said about the Miss Teen USA contestants ("inspecting" them in their dressing rooms), and so on.

Remember how he buried the Stormy Daniels story before the election? If WE know that Trump can be blackmailed with sexual stuff, and that he was close friends with Epstein ("he likes his women on the younger side" ) then what do you think Russian intelligence and organized crime knows?!

And hell, why limit it to the Russians? What about all of the other "bad hombres" around the world whom Trump pals around with? Or how careless Trump is with classified information along with his Twitter feed?

Donald Trump being President of the United States is the dream come true of every hostile/anti-American foreign intelligence agency and transnational criminal oligarch and trafficker.

https://www.labroots.com/trending/genetics-and-genomics/15743/hypersexual-disorder-caused-faulty-genes

Hypersexual disorder is a condition in which people experience sexual fantasies and urges so intense that they disrupt their daily lives. Affecting between 3- 6% of the population. Now, researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden have found that the disorder may be linked to genes that regulate oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone”. [snip]

But I think that’s where we differ from the “so called” Christians who are his base. They don’t seem to find much at all in common with Christ’s teachings. They hate people who are black, brown, gay, Muslim, etc., and see nothing wrong in splitting up families and putting children in cages. They detested Obama and IMO they would cheer if Rump used his bed for a urinal.

Their "ministers" seem to have a very distorted view of the Bible. I've studied Christianity deeply for years and I'm baffled how these self-serving, ego-driven preachers fleece their congregations with the active permission and encouragement of their congregants.

Any single issue of Trump's behavior-- whether it's his misogyny, xenophobia (Jesus was a migrant!), lying or any other of his transgressions-- should disqualify him for people who claim to follow the teachings of Christ. Taken together, these faithless followers of charlatans are accepting a man who probably violates all Ten Commandments daily not to mention the laws of the U.S.

I suspect your faith is more in line with those of the carpenter from Nazareth.

P.S. I agree with your moralistic view about Trump's behavior; he's despicable. And I write all of this as an atheist. Peace.

What if Putin has video of Trump having sex with a boy?!

Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards observed that "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy."

Hey, Trump! What's in your wallet?

is my guess. Now Putin's calling in the debt.

The one thing that would crush even the Trump cultists would be to find out that Trump is dead broke and owes his "business success" to a continuous inflow of Russian cash. Putin can ensure this kind of story gets out.

Is an extremely wealthy Oligarch, as well. The best estimate I can find is that he probably has a net worth of more than $80-billion and doesn't like talking about it. His holdings are vast. You could say he took Russia for a ride and enriched himself while the people are bilked.

Though I sense that Trump is relatively broke, I also think he identifies with Oligarchs completely, and that is another factor. In fact, he also probably thinks that his association with them reflects his status.

If you wanted to sum-up Russian government, it is Oligarchical and there is a lot of big money at the top. Putin is the top dog.
