Trump dances to Putin’s tune because he’s a fanboi who loves Russia and authoritarianism. He doesn’t need kompromat to betray the US; he’s happy to do it.
Then why hasn’t he?

I subscribe to this belief too. There’s no way in hell that an experienced spy like Putin would have any trouble manipulating the easiest to manipulate person on the planet (literally just flatter him). Plus, Putin is exactly the kind of guy who Trump wants to emulate, so he naturally looks up to him.

Nah I just don’t buy the kompromat stories anymore. There is nothing Putin can release that would be a problem for Trump. He never sees any legal consequences and his followers never turn on him regardless of all of his crimes.
