> [@Spoons](#): > > If they didn’t walk all over Angela Merkel, and they didn’t walk all over Margaret Thatcher back in the day, then why would they walk all over Kamala Harris? Because Harris is more attractive and got where she is using sexual favors, which Trump doesn’t think Merkel or Thatcher could pull off? To be clear, this is _not_ my belief but where I’m guessing Trumps diseased mind may have gone. ---

Hey, I’m all for pointing out that Trump is sexist but… Y’all, he’s also _racist_ and not hiding it particularly well with regards to Harris. Not being as popular as Obama still eats him alive to this day. He still name drops Obama regularly. Imagine losing the popular vote to a minority woman. He’ll go ballistic. It already boggles that shriveled lump that passes for his mind that the race is even a contest or that people think more highly of her. ---

Play toy? trump was played like a cheap fiddle by Putin, Erdoğan and Kim Jong Un. Yes. Trump must rank as the easiest-to-manipulate world leader in human history. His massive insecurity and neediness made him, indeed, a play-toy for other leaders (particularly the unscrupulous ones). But this particular slam against Harris will work with many of his voters, who resent and dislike women in general. When a woman is put in a position of power over them, their resentment and fear zoom right off the charts. **How much more pleasant for them to fantasize about how helpless such a woman would be when put in a room with A Man.** And as always, a huge part of Trump’s appeal to these voters is his ability to feed them the fantasies they crave most (about male supremacy, white supremacy, “Christian” supremacy, and hetero supremacy). ---

[$10M cash withdrawal drove secret probe into whether Trump took money from Egypt](https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/08/02/trump-campaign-egypt-investigation/) _Political appointees rejected efforts to search for additional evidence investigators believed might provide answers, then closed the case._ > Five days before [Donald Trump](https://www.washingtonpost.com/donald-trump/?itid=lk_inline_manual_2) became president in January 2017, a manager at a bank branch in Cairo received an unusual letter from an organization linked to the Egyptian intelligence service. It asked the bank to “kindly withdraw” nearly $10 million from the organization’s account — all in cash. > > [snip] > > Since receiving the intelligence about Sisi, the Justice Department had been examining whether money moved from Cairo to Trump, potentially violating federal law that bans U.S. candidates from taking foreign funds. Investigators had also sought to learn if money from Sisi might have factored into Trump’s decision in the final days of his run for the White House to inject his campaign with $10 million of his own money. > > Those questions, at least in the view of several investigators on the case, would never be answered, The Post found. > > Within months of learning of the withdrawal, prosecutors and FBI agents were blocked by top Justice Department officials from obtaining bank records they believed might hold critical evidence, according to interviews with people familiar with the case as well as documents and contemporaneous notes of the investigation. The case ground to a halt by the fall of 2019 as Trump’s then-attorney general, William P. Barr, raised doubts about whether there was sufficient evidence to continue the probe of Trump. ---
