Putin: gets state TV to air Melania nudes in hopes of showing Trump how easy it is to air anything on Trump
Trump: does this
Guess we’ll find out if pee tapes exist
I mean, it’s not like nudes of Melania are hard to find, you can just google them, she posed nude for a magazine that was published it’s not like they robbed her safety deposit box or whatever.
True, but it’s a little less about the actual content and more about the unusual nature of airing it and the potential implication.
Could be simple backhanded flattery to the point of thinly-veiled mockery (we’re laughing at you but pretending to laugh with you, immodest Trump family), but then again, if Russia did have dirt, Putin would likely not be blunt about it and instead use a veiled threat. The implication being that they have no qualms airing things that might be deemed too graphic for broadcast, specifically nude images of Trump’s wife. “Look what we can do, take the hint and fall in line”.
It’s so pointed that Trump should be able to read between the lines, but he’s damn near blind from narcissism to the point that it’s doubtful. A backhanded compliment is a compliment to that guy
Idk, he’s already had one presidency (yes, but what about second presidency? Lol sorry) so I mean any компромат they may have would already be known by trump most likely, and of course they’ll use it, that’s the whole point of компромат. To me it seems more like they just wanted to say “america bad” to their populace, which also does have some implications about US/RU relations, (namely, that they’re about to tell us to stuff our own assholes on the ukraine “peace” shit trump has been “calling” about).
