This is part of why it took over 40 years for Israel to finally find a U.S. president ignorant enough to pull something like this.

- justinclift 7mo ago> ignorant enough Might not be ignorance. There's still the strong possibility that "blackmail material" is floating around due to the island of one of Trumps old friends.
- Schmerika 7mo agoAlso, let us never forget that the Epstein class are extremely skilled, and experienced, in making money off of things going to shit.
- ben_w 7mo agoOn the one hand, Trump's brazenness about basically everything makes it hard to see how anything could be effective blackmail. On the other, he did deny the affair with Stormy Daniels, so perhaps he's easier to blackmail than I think he is?
- Gud 7mo agoDonald Trump strikes me as a man who has done a lot of things in his life that is blackmail material.
- ben_w 7mo agoDone, yes I agree, but it only counts as blackmail if he were responsive to the threat. That responsiveness is the only place where I'm uncertain.
- Gud 7mo agoI'm sure he's done something he is very embarrassed about, some sexual fetish on record or something similar. I wouldn't put it past him to go to war to protect such secrets, if he can conceivably frame it as something positive.
