How tight is putin's grip on trump? [View all]

Think about the hold putin must have on trump. trump could have kept his private business out of the spotlight and grifted away the rest of his life without getting pulled up short. But no. He was selected by putin to run for president and with putin's unrelenting help, got installed. What does putin have on trump to make trump give up his partially hidden criminal life style?

And God help us, what does putin have on the republicans in general?
