If Putin does not already have something on Trump, he soon will find

something. Or make something happen. Was not the final solution of the nazis not just a plan to exterminate a whole people but, something so terrible that any German who had any part in it would have to fight all the more to the death for Hitler because there could never be forgiveness from the rest of the world if the axis did not prevail? In other words it ensured loyalty in a sick, sick way. I would think that Putin does some sort of set up of Trump geopolitically or psychological jujitsu that traps Trump into a pair bond with Putin. That Putin gets Trump to make some horrible mistake in the world and then helps Trump hide it. Then Putin owns him. After all Putin did show up in Syria to help Assad and extend the civil war by years just so he could have some leverage and destabilize europe with a massive refugee crisis. Is Trump talking to Putin more often than he is getting intelligence briefings from the CIA? Do we know?

2. I don't think Putin needs anything on Trump

Trump is easy to manipulate. He's even told everyone how to do it. Say nice things about him and he will say nice things about you. Putin has been nice to Trump. That's why he is a good person. That's why Trump will be nice to Putin. It's really that simple.

3. flattery will get you anywhere with DT.

He went to the NY Times and they were nice to him, so he was nice back. He said some things about climate change that they wanted to hear. But it was lies.

Never, ever believe what a narcissist says.

4. so what?

The 20% who elected T wouldn't care if he shot Jesus in the middle of 5th avenue. The rest of us seem to be completely handcuffed and/or indifferent.
