(1,105 posts)Pretty sure he's been fed a whole lot of "kompromat" and been told where a lot of bodies are buried, to the crooks in the republican party he is as dangerous as a vial of Novichok.
They certainly are a "cowardly shithole full of shithole cowards" but I suspect they have good reason for their fear of TFG.

(6,899 posts)But, for a man who simply cannot keep his mouth shut, spilling criminal information about hiself the way some people use the plumbing, he has not even hinted about any of that. I just fine it difficult to see how he could have held back. Or, forthat matter, why Putin or anyone else would trust him with Kompromat -because onceit'sspilled, the hold is gone.

(1,105 posts)but I've read an awful lot about this absolutely horrible human being. There is more to him than meets the eye. Based on what I have read about him before he ever was involved in politics there are things that he has never revealed precisely for the reason you described. Unger's book "House of Putin, House of Trump" or it may be vice versa provides some insight into this matter.
We all want to see him as a giant orange buffoon and that certainly is an important aspect of who he is. The only thing that saves us from his deeper and more malignant pathologies is how badly broken he is. Even with that, he still knows what to keep close to his chest and he does keep quiet about those things. Bear in mind that those republicans with guilty consciences can't know just how much he has on each of them and don't dare take a chance on losing everything by coming out in public and calling him out.

(9,090 posts)unwanted reality, insulated by his money and sycophants.
at some point REALITY may hit him right in the forehead and he will turn into a slobbering mass of rotten mango that will have to be shoveled up off the floor. until then he will continue to be a victim, he's done nothing wrong, he was entitled to do everything he did because he wanted to do it.
or he will have a massive stroke.

(1,937 posts)I think that when tfg comes to the conclusion that he is in serious trouble, if he ever is able. He will probably try to pull a "Jones "and start to serve "koolaid " to his minions, Anyone with any sense realizes that he is the death of true Republicanism. Please read the Republican "Commitment to America".
