Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Saying this as a huge anti-trump, left winger..the one advantage trump has on that front is he doesn't seem to care about kompromat anymore, he knows his supporters will still eat his shit even if he started lining up and shooting them.
Not that that helps him with leverage on China, just that he's so far removed from consequences for his actions that it's doubtful blackmail would be extremely effective.
He doesn't need blackmail, he's evil in exchange for money. People that know him claim he loves to fuck people over for fun, so this must be Disneyland for him.
If he doesn't care about such things, why did he have the DOJ and Congress systematically bury the files from ever seeing the light of day? Did he run for office again because of his love of country? Or to avoid prison time? Why is he so beholden to Russia and Israel? I get how it may appear on the outside he doesn't care, but just look at his actions. They are not the actions of a man who is detached and unaffected.
All fair points
His capacity for self-agrandizement, self-preservation, and self-enrichment really know no bounds.
