> Trump supports Russia now. If the rumours are true, he's had no option but to support Russia since the 80s.

  Can you define "no option" here?

    I would not be surprised if that "no option" list involves videos of Trump from FSB bugged hotel rooms.

      Sure, but my point is that "suffering personal shame for the good of millions of other people" is an option. Not very Trumpy, but a feasible option available to him. Worst case, it'd be a little reminiscent of the very first Black Mirror episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Anthem_(Black_Mirror) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Anthem_(Black_Mir...

        > Not very Trumpy, but a feasible option available to him. For someone who is (I would suggest) a malignant narcissist / borderline sociopath like Trump, "suffering personal shame for someone else's benefit" is not an option because it just wouldn't occur to them. Even if you sat down and patiently explained it, the concept just doesn't make sense to them, like, eg., the concept of a flat earth doesn't make sense to non-lunatics.

  Yes, he apparently needed help with his finances.
