Putin Reminds the Donald There Are Plenty of Ways for Demanding His Obedience
Russian TV offers up a hearty congrats to Trump by sharing nice pics of his escort wife.
When the photos were taken, Melania was just a girl, a model, from Slovenia. Her high-priced escorting job hadn’t crossed her path yet with the serial rapist and future president. The dirty, immoral, and ignorant thug was being hurled by fate toward the young woman from Eastern Europe who was using the only power she had: Sex and the promise of it.
At some time before, or perhaps even after they met, Trump ended up in a 5-star hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Trump was wealthy enough, and potentially important enough, for Russian security forces to “keep an eye” on him while relaxing in his room. Of course, I have no way of knowing what happened in that room, but there are things I am certain about that took place in Russia that provide me with enough information to “know” what happened in Trump’s room.
Russian sexuality
Russian women are beautiful, smart, and powerful; they have no reservations about using the power of their beauty and sex to get whatever they want from men. Russian men have no reservations about giving them what they want. The exchange that takes place is culturally accepted, and while the practice of such barter was becoming less prevalent before the war as women gained more rights and economic power in Russian society, it is returning today because of the uncertainty of the war. When a woman in Russia uses sex to gain influence, money, or things, this is not considered prostitution. It is considered by many — smart. Not all women can engage in such activities, but few will judge a woman who does.
Russian security services
The Russian security services are geniuses at infiltrating the most random places and setting up wide-ranging forms of surveillance. Intimidating sex workers, who in Russia are considered prostitutes or women as I described above, into gathering information on a priority target is not difficult. The agents have the power of the government and no oversight to make anyone do anything. If the woman wants to keep working in the hotel where Trump stayed, The National, then she would have no choice but to oblige them.
It is also highly likely that the government set up cameras and other surveillance equipment in the hotel’s elite suites long ago. All kinds of VIPs stay there, so the more prestigious rooms would be bugged.
Trump
Do I need to write anything here? Trump is Trump. He is a rapist, allegedly a pedophile — according to one victim who was 15 when he had sexual intercourse with her. There is no way in hell that if Trump was staying in Moscow, in the heart of the capital of the country with the most beautiful women in the world, he is not going to engage in all kinds of sexual shenanigans. Even if he didn’t plan on having sex, all night long, scantily clad girls come knocking; they call, offering their services; they slide advertisements under the door. Given the level of The National, I doubt leaflets were being slid under the door, but that the lobby was overflowing with sex workers is a fact. I have seen it many times.
There is it. Vladimir Putin has the tapes of Trump’s antics in that room. They are probably horrific and graphic. I don’t think any of the ignorant Americans who voted for Trump care the least bit about those tapes. Trump’s comment that he could shoot someone dead on 5th Avenue and still be loved is one of the most accurate and scary truths of the 21st century. The reaction to Trump having wild sex with prostitutes would warrant a big shoulder shrug.
Putin’s releasing of the Melania pictures, though, was his not-so-subtle way of reminding the Donald, who has already lied about a phone call he made post-election in which he told Putin to “Stop” in Ukraine, that he still is in control, that his grip on the puppet’s strings is as firm as ever.
So why doesn’t Trump want the tapes released?
His only fear is of Melania. If she sees the tapes, she could shut him out entirely, and the last 2 (please God) years or so of his life would be in a toxic relationship with a woman who hates him. This is something that Donald can’t have, especially given that Melania has become more of a mother to him than a lover.
