possible, but the dude is a terrible business man and has been bailed out constantly by the Russian Mafia. no need to blackmail him when he's terrible with money -- just turn off the tap or offer more. add in a huge quantity of narcissism + a pathological need to bang Eastern European women (aka the classic Soviet/Russian honeypot), and you've got him locked down easily. his ego, plus his complete inability to get accepted by NYC high society make him easy to manipulate after you've satisfied his immediate needs for debt-payment money and Slovenian pin-up models. top-shelf asset handling by Russian intelligence, btw. Farage and Trump -- those asset account managers are damn good. deep web rumors have suggested Melania herself was his handler, and if so she's probably the most accomplished case officer in history.

That's an interesting theory re Melania - that hadn't occurred to me. Though she doesn't really come across that way. I think Katya Banks, wife of Brexit's main funder, is though: >Cadwalladr said the file claimed Katya Banks had entered Britain on a passport sequentially numbered to the passport of Katia Zatuliveter, a woman MI5 had claimed was a Russian spy and who had had an affair with the Portsmouth MP, Mike Hancock. Katya Banks was also alleged to have had a relationship with Hancock. Googling suggest the Russians have been on to Trump since 1977 while he only met Melania in 1998.
