Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Trump is owned by Russian mobsters with whom he’s been laundering money since the 80s, and Putin who almost certainly has compromising videos of the president with underaged children (and I’m guessing at least one snuff video because Trump is a sick fuck who Jeffrey Epstein described as the worst person he’s ever known). It’s patently evident they conspire together—Trump himself admits he talks to Putin every week. “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”
Trump literally cannot be blackmailed. Any compromising evidence would be dismissed by him as AI or fake news and his followers would believe it without question. And in recent years, it's been shown that Trump is basically above US law.
I remember when MAGA claimed Trump couldn't be bribed because he was already rich. Trump checks pretty much the boxes for someone who can be both bribed and blackmailed: he's greedy, proud, insecure, has a criminal history he wants to keep secret including rape and money laundering, is a pedophile, has no sense of loyalty, and there's a good chance he was (maybe still is) in debt to the the Russian mob.
And yet he is inexplicably relaxing sanctions on Russia while they are invading our ally, Ukraine (whom we signed a pact with to protect them from Russia when they denuclearized). Russia also supports Iran. So we're harming our ally to benefit our enemy, who also supports our other enemy who we are also at war with.
So if he can't be blackmailed, then he's just doing it for money/love of treason.
Yes. I think he is doing it for money.
