Trump’s all about the humiliation, whether seducing wives or bragging about national secrets. A Macron document was in that safe along with other juicy classified documents.
A spokesperson for the French embassy told Rolling Stone that their inquiry had not included asking the Biden administration for information on the documents recovered from Mar-a-Lago.
As president-elect, he had pledged to step back from the Trump Organization and recuse himself from his private company’s operation. As president, he built a system of direct presidential influence-peddling unrivaled in modern American politics. www.nytimes.com/...
In his musing on Macron’s alleged indiscretions, Trump was light on details and specifics, according to the sources. And as a notorious gossip peddler for decades, it’s difficult to know if any of what he says is grounded in reality. “It is often,” one of the sources says, “hard to tell if he’s bullshitting or not.”
A Trump spokesperson did not respond to questions from Rolling Stone.
Trump’s relationship with Macron has often been volatile, with the U.S. president once labeling his French counterpart “my guy” before the two fell out during Trump’s time in the White House.
Trump initially signaled his support for Macron’s 2017 presidential rival, inviting far-right nationalist Marine LePan to Trump Tower and praising her in interviews. But Macron shrugged off the flirtation with his rival and invited Trump as the guest of honor to a Bastille Day parade in 2017. Trump was so taken with the elaborate military pageantry on display that it inspired him to ask for a military parade of his own.
Under David Pecker, the National Enquirer for years buried potentially embarrassing stories about Trump and other favored celebrities by buying the rights to them and never publishing. The practice was known as “catch-and-kill.” www.cnbc.com/...
By 2019, tensions between the two men and their worldviews burst into the open. After disputes between the two leaders over Iran, Syria, and NATO, Trump could be heard blasting Macron as a “pain in the ass” to a White House gathering of international ambassadors to the United Nations. Trump’s former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham also wrote in a memoir that Trump had privately called Macron a “a wuss guy” and “a hundred twenty pounds of fury.”
And the latest incident isn’t the first time Trump has fixated on salacious gossip about the private lives of foreign leaders, associates, and hangers-on.
As Republican rivals J.D. Vance and Josh Mandel vied for his endorsement in the Ohio GOP Senate primary, Trump personally spread rumors he’d heard about Mandel’s sex life and described the candidate as “fucking weird.” And Trump’s decision to endorse Vance was nudged along by a rumor Trump heard from Fox News star Tucker Carlson about a prominent Mandel supporter’s allegedly “chronic” sexual habit.

x This is Trump's M.O. He's an extortionist.
The National Enquirer and David Pecker were his own private investigators.

x David Pecker, where is he today? It was common knowledge, at least urban legend, Trump is a CI[criminal informant on a world level] and holds dirt. With Pompeo being in the CIA for a short time, he is 'rich' with new dirt.

x Imagine . . .
what they found in Trump's safe?
Should be a long thread.
Start with Roy Cohn & Donald. Way back.
Promises made. Secrets kept.
Roger Stone. The KGB. David Pecker. Epstein, Barr, Kennedy...
Trump had a history of secretly recording calls

x Some will say it was just a way to dodge taxes, an indirect way to compensate Trump for appearing on WWE…I think Trump and David Pecker were extorting people and that Trump’s appearance went toward McMahon’s ‘debt’.

x I would think blackmail more likely than sale if only because of Trump's friend David Pecker establishing the model

x Lindsey Graham continues to 'shill' for Trump
Trump has blackmail goods on Lindsey Graham.
Trump COLLECTS blackmail goods on people--including world leaders.
People seem to forget about Trump's relationship with David Pecker.

x 2020: Trump long relied on loyalists to push the limits in defense of his image, but Roy Cohn, David Pecker and Michael Cohen all wound up out in the cold

x I know this sounds like a zesty sex story. But if it accurately reveals a former US president has revealed classified intelligence about an allied leader, possibly to benefit an opponent (LePen) backed by Russia, that’s a very serious crime. Very serious.
