What will Trump say to Putin? Does anyone really think he'll stand up for America and tell Putin to back off?
C'mon, people. Is there anyone here who doesn't believe that Putin has sex videos, taken in a Moscow hotel room in 2013, of Trump romping with hookers?
So where's my proof you ask? My proof is that Trump still will not fully and strongly state the fact that Russia fucked with our 2016 election. My proof is that Trump has nothing bad to say about Putin. My proof is that Trump has spit on NATO which Putin wants to see disappear. My proof is that Trump has spit on the European Union which Putin wants to see disappear. Why would any American president do those things? And yes, I know Trump is an imbecile, but it's obvious on the face of it that he's throwing us under the wheels of his golf cart.
Trump himself has said that anyone who goes to Russia is constantly watched. So it reasonably follows that he should know that any well-known person, which Trump was in 2013, would be watched more closely than others. And if he was staying in a hotel suite, perhaps being filmed in any compromising situation he may get himself into. And if there's anyone who thinks that Trump could have kept it in his pants with beautiful Russian hookers available to him, I've got a bridge to sell you. We've seen his lack of self-control on a daily basis through his tweets.
Sooo, when Putin and Trump meet, what will Trump have to say? Not much after Putin leans close and whispers "videos."
Disagree? Let's hear it.

(18,969 posts)If there are videos, there's about a 90% chance the girls in it are well under 17. Prostitution in a place like Russia is mostly about the trafficking of very young women against their will.
I wonder how his supporters will feel if they find out the girls are 13 and 14 years old. And you just know the videos are worse than has been suggested.

I don't think tRump would feel any shame or fear from videos of romping with hookers, golden showers, etc. That would be a badge of honor for him.
The compromat HAS to be something that would shatter the illusions (delusions) of his own GRANDEUR.
It is either that he has no "manhood" or that his net worth is so deep in the red that without pimping for Putin he'd never crawl out.
He could never survive without all of his trappings of luxury, so he's doing whatever it takes to maintain that lifestyle.

(15,027 posts)At the moment, he's "THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD." That's a title that is often given to the president of the U.S.
Do you really believe that Trump wants to lose that "title?" Do you really believe that he wants to see videos (if they exist) of himself romping with hookers, posted online for the world to see? Do you really believe he's THAT insane?
We're talking about a man who's unhinged, but not one who is so unaware that he wouldn't be embarrassed to see his fat ass spread across TV screens worldwide.
Do you really believe he'd want to see himself replace Benedict Arnold as a name mentioned with disdain and disgust? I don't think so.

And for some reason he's still there.

(7,446 posts)Putin could simply threaten to openly brag that Russia actively colluded with the Trump campaign in the greatest espionage coup in history.

(15,027 posts)Once he uses them, it would destroy Trump. And it would also destroy Putin's power over American policy. So there's no way he's going to use them as long as he can continue to hold them over Trump's orange head.

Which is probably why *45 has not yet issued the EO eliminating all sanctions....
There really is nothing preventing *45 from lifting them, procedurally.
So it must simply be due to a desire for self-preservation that he has put off taking such action.

The 2018 and 2020 elections are coming up and Putin wants to make sure that Trump won't stop any hacking.
