There are real Trump kompromat tapes. They are very ugly.
And there are a whole lot of dodgy and/or fake ones.

From Schindler's article at the Observer:
Spies Suspect Kremlin Is Pushing Dozens of Fake Trump Sex Tapes
... snip
Then there are the allegations that the presidents penchant for pretty girls does not always pay attention to the age of consent. One woman whos claimed that Trump raped her when she was just 13 years old has repeatedly filed suit against the president, only to drop the case each time, most recently last year. Thats connected to the mysterious case of Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire hedge-funder and convicted sex offender, whose friends list reads like a whos-who of the male half of Americas rich and powerful.
President Trump is on that list, and rumors have swirled for years about his participation in Epsteins underage sex escapades. There appear to be connections between Epsteins debased antics and Trumps Mar-A-Lago resort, now termed the winter White House. Hard facts remain elusive, however, and perhaps the medias lack of ardor for getting to the bottom of this sordid case may have something to do with the fact that Epsteins pals are a powerful bunchand Bill Clinton is mixed up in this too.
To sum up, the idea that President Trump has been caught on tape doing something sordid is inherently in the realm of the possible. But has he been? Heres where things get tricky, fast. Ive investigated this issue for the past couple years. Ive talked to dozens of well-placed sources (many of them longtime spy-friends), and I can share with you some basic conclusions.
As many as a dozen intelligence services worldwide, on four continents, are in possession of some sort of Trump tape featuring sexual escapades of a controversial nature; in some cases, the women involved appear to be underage. Some of these tapes have been shared with the Mueller investigation.

The article has a lot of info and it's difficult to choose which paragraphs to snip. It really is worth the click to read the entire article.

Not sure what to believe about this. Maybe we will see.

(16,420 posts)2. Respectfully, the above is Schindler's reporting.
I follow Louise as well, but she is talking about something that will have to be proved that Schindler didn't discuss specifically in this article.

(21,984 posts)3. I meant the same article in the observer is cited on her page.
Nothing else intended.

(37,982 posts)5. While I am open to the prospect that there is a tape,
I just can't with observer.com being a trustworthy source - not as long as its owned by Jared Kushner.
