    Here’s the simple way to understand Trump’s plans.

    Trump has been in bed with the Mafia his entire career. You don’t do construction in New York or run a casino in New Jersey without the boys getting to wet their beaks.

    But Trump is an idiot, so the top bosses always made sure there were a few layers between Donnie and them. Even Fredo Corleoni knows you don’t let a blabbermouth anywhere near you.

    So Trump learned from third rate schmoes who never ran anything bigger than a vending machine company.

    To Trump, selling the country out for pennies on the dollar looks like genius.

    A real mob boss would have extorted $50 billion from OPEC on Inauguration Day 2016.

        So…?

        He would have the CIA in his pocket. What would they do, come forward and say that yes, this was an authentic picture of Trump?

        OR

        Lie, and have the sitting President in their pocket?

        And Trump would be willing to go along with any CIA plots anyway.

        If he’d had the balls of a hamster he would have told Putin to blow him and hand over $50 billion.

          The allegation is that Putin had the picture long before Trump was a serious contender for President. And that Putin used that time to develop Trump, meaning that by the time 2016 rolled around, Trump would have long had so much kompromat on him that he couldn’t possibly defy Putin.

            Trump is a stooge who was never going to stand up to Putin.

            That said, if he’d been blessed with the balls of a hamster, he could have ridden out the storm easily.

            "You have to give old Vlad credit. He saw that he was dealing with a tough hombre and he did the only thing he could. He got his boys to whip up some phony pictures to try and make me look bad.

            "I’ve spent plenty of time in Russia, I can’t deny it. Turns out, they knew how important I was and shadowed me. Get a picture of me coming out of the shower, play around with it, and you can make anything look like anything.

            "Look, I can’t tell you all the details, because my friends at the CIA would rather keep their cyber stuff top secret, but use your logic. We all know Superman doesn’t fly in the movies, but boy it sure looks that way, doesn’t it.

            Tell me the Magats wouldn’t accept.
