The stress of knowing you're not only in the Epstein Files, but that Putin has blackmail evidence on you

would kill most men, but it hasn't killed Donald Trump.

If this doesn't prove Trump is a sociopathic maligant narcissist, I don't what does.

1. If he were smart...

Imagine if you were in that position: an evil dictator had blackmail material on you. If anything I think that would incentivize finding a covert way to give Ukraine lots of money and resources to destroy Putin as fast as possible so the blackmail material goes way. Of course Trump isn't exactly known to be a thinker so it's not surprise he hasn't thought about doing this.

I do think there's more to it though, at some level Trump admires people like Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un. He wants that level of control that those evil dictators have.

3. At some level?

"Trump admires people like Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un." This is his top level thinking. How can I turn this country into a dictatorship.

4. You're right

Yes, I see what you mean, it's more than just "at some level".

2. Trump doesn't care about the Epstein files in terms of himself.

His fans don't care if he is a rapist, in fact that is one of the things they love about him.
He has lifelong immunity for any crime his commits.
No one will touch him.

He can keep grifting and becoming a trillion while he is in office.

He may care about all the members of congress, the courts, his big donors who are on the list.
The ones who keep him in power and very rich.

5. When his fundamental mental disorders run up against irrefutable failure and humiliation, I hope it is televised. nt
