You know, I still hope it’s something that would trash him and give us a small chance of a sanity reset, even though I highly doubt it. But Trump’s Teflon would probably skate him through any such thing, so I’m starting to wonder if it’s something that would seriously bruise his tender Ego instead. Like a report that he was at a party and was shown to have a tiny dick, or wasn’t able to perform, or anything else that wasn’t technically legally actionable if with a person above the age of consent, but could be used by others to _laugh_ at him. Something he probably considers worse than a legal challenge that he can baffle with legal BS or order the DOJ to drown in endless lawsuits on his behalf. ---

Maybe they’re afraid that if they can’t control the GOP over this, it MIGHT start the erosion of their grip on the party. ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > But Trump’s Teflon would probably skate him through any such thing, so I’m starting to wonder if it’s something that would seriously bruise his tender Ego instead. That would be on brand. He has gone to ridiculous lengths to avoid even a minor humiliation. Heck, he put together an investigation to “prove” he won the popular vote in the 2016 election, which doesn’t matter to anyone but Trump himself. ---

> [@ParallelLines](#): > > But Trump’s Teflon would probably skate him through any such thing, so I’m starting to wonder if it’s something that would seriously bruise his tender Ego instead. I’ve been thinking the same thing - we all know how hard he’s worked to conceal how much money he really has. If there’s anything in there that casts doubt that he’s as rich as he says he is, he’ll do anything to keep that from coming out. There also may be references to financial crimes he’s committed as well. He’s probably already flipping out about the disparaging comments Epstein wrote about him to other people. ---

He has reportedly made billions since then by engaging in cryptocurrency fraud. [Reuters: Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine](https://www.reuters.com/investigations/inside-trump-familys-global-crypto-cash-machine-2025-10-28/) > The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash has come from foreign sources as Donald Trump’s sons have touted their business on an international investor roadshow. I’m not sure that he’s feeling insecure about his wealth these days. ---
