Good point about Putin and the kompromat, however to assume it’s Trump designing these plans is a bad move.
Trump didn’t design Project 2025, but he’s followed much of it regardless. Trump is a salesman.
Peter Thiel, Marc Andreesen, Sam Altman, lots of billionaires are invested in libertarian projects, cities, or fifedoms. Lots of them also fund, follow, or push the ideas of Curtis Yarvin about destroying democracy.
So you’re right, it might not be Putin.
That said Trump is a Narcissist, and narcissists do tend to care about how they’re perceived… Plus there are people like Victoria Spartz who are now in the Senate, but whom have ties to Russian interests.
… it’s not always about the kompromat, it’s often just about how many ties around the individual (who have influence on their actions) also have interests in the direction pushed.

No they don’t. There’s already been multiple failed attempts on his life. People have tired your methods. He has helicopter to get away from the hoards.
