What Does Putin Have on Trump??

Aside from money laundering, sex tapes, debts etc., I think the actual act of Trump's collusion is something else Putin has over him. But, I never see anyone mentioning this. If Trump did collude with Putin in the election meddling (which I believeto be true), then Putin can come out and tell everyone any time he wants to! That must scare Trump!!

Trump has always been for Trump. He has never cared about anything else...ok, perhaps he did care about his first wife Ivana? And perhaps he still lusts after his daughter, Ivanka? But companions you care little about, like property, are replaceable.

He does not give a damn about the USA, except for what he can exploit from it to use to enrich himself.

He may have initially owed the Russians money, but the allure of even more money and power is enough motivation for Trump
