Why Trump is afraid of Putin

Trump is afraid of Putin because when Trump visited him in Russia during his first term as President, I recall seeing a video of Trump in a dark hall and appearing sceared. The hall led to the main room as he entered the large room, it was clear trump was not only sceared but possibly teriffied. He steped up and sat down in a chair looking straight ahead. Is it possible the the story of Trump having a golden shower with Putin's prostutes or perhaps it could have just been straight sex. In either, it would be devastating for Trump should he have been taped as many claim. At present day, Putin is the one telling Trump what to do instead of listening to what Trump wants him to do.

I don't believe, the control has anything to do with a possible sex tape.
It's about money and loans. Using trumps real estate deals to launder Russian dirty money.
Like a mob boss all pootie has to do is remind donnie of how many windows there are in his house.

It has to be something much worse.

Perhaps proof that Trump has been a Russian agent for decades.
Or Putin has told Trump he will be killed if he steps out of line.

Maybe Putin has a video of Dumpster Trump crying and begging for his life. Dumpster Trump would never want the world to see that.

But it's mostly about money and promises Putin made to Dumpster Trump that Putin will never follow through with.

Combine that with his arrogance and he may soon think he doesn't need Putin

All Trump's phone calls with Putin, first term, between terms, and second term, undoubtedly contain all sorts of traitorous stuff. Putin undoubtedly has tapes of all of them.
