    Apparently several countries have kompromat on Trump, not just Russia. But a former diplomat pointed out something interesting about it: it's not likely to be released while he's in office. Any rival to the US prefers Trump as president, because it makes us weaker.

        Did you have the chance to ask the diplomat if that’s always been the case with any president?

        What's the point of kompromat in the first place? Does it only have a point for competent, unfavorable presidents? Was it gathered on Trump on the off chance he'd be competent & unfavorable? Maybe it's just easy to gather because he's incompetent & it's opportunistically gathered

        As an outsider, I would love it if Americans elected him as President. Bernie has the conscience for all.

        New Yorker article from a year ago saying it is likely that several other former Soviet republics have compromat on Trump, the legacy of his sloppy business dealings there: https://www.newyorker.com/news/swamp-chronicles/a-theory-of-trump-kompromat … .
