25. When dealing with a perverse character like Trump.....

it is important to remember that pulling back on the carrot deal is equivalent to the stick deal.
I think Trump's biggest fear is loss-of-position, in other words, poverty. That's what he's facing if Biden gets the chance to follow through on his pledge to hold the guilty accountable. I'm not even sure Putin CAN ease Trump's inevitable free-fall.

I'm actually more concerned that there may be successful assassination attempts for any and all. But my mother always said I was alarmist.

My hypothesis: Trump was briefed on the bounty intel, asked Putin about it, Putin denied. Shrike47 Jun 2020 #3

Saying he actually believed Putin is another lie. Nevilledog Jun 2020 #5

Probably over the bounty but more likely Putin refused to confirm it or did and refused cstanleytech Jun 2020 #27
