It's looking more and more like blackmail.
It's easy to dismiss it as ignorance, stupidity, or new to the job but maybe it is much more?
Donald Trump's relationship with Putin has been a suspicious one since he entered the race for the Presidency.
Why did he fire the FBI Director?
And the next day, why did he invite the Russian Ambassador and the Russian Foreign Minister to the White House.
Donald said he had a "good conversation" with Putin and he asked if the Ambassador and the Foreign Minister could visit the White House? Donald says, "Of course!"
But when the Russian officials arrived, they also had a photographer from the Tass News Agency. Why? Could it be that Putin knew Trump well enough to know that he could not be trusted and he wanted a video of the meeting? It was very strange that no American reporters or photographers were permitted into the White House while the Russians were visiting.
What did Donald get from the meeting? Did he get a promise of Russian silence? Putin got what he wanted from Trump.
Could it be that Trump is an asset of the Russians? Could it be that he is being blackmailed by Vladimir Putin?
We should no longer over-look this very real possibility.

it wasn't illegal for him to be making business deals with russians, at least not until obama put putin's cronies on the sanctions lists.
i think he made deals willingly.
i also think his business is such a monstrous mess that he couldn't possibly untangle everything before inauguration even if he were so inclined (which he's clearly not). i think he believes he's entitled to continue doing business as he (oh, i mean his kids 
) see fit.
blackmail implies he's doing it only under duress.
he does not carry himself like a man who is being coerced into doing something his conscience tell him he shouldn't be doing.
in fact, he carries himself like a man with no conscience at all.
i think the russians *could* blackmail him if they wanted, but my guess is as of yet they've not had to.
