Iran is an autocratic dictatorship,
Just the sort of shit that he admires, and wants to suck up to
I'm sure that Daddy Putin also has has some serious influence
And by "influence", I mean that Trump is terrified of the dirt that Putin has on him. That fat fuck is utterly cowed by Vlad
At this point, if this is a question of dirt (and not just being a manipulable fool), it is either kids or being pegged at some gay orgy, anything else his base would completely ignore.
One of the few accurate things Trump has said was that he could "shoot someone in the middle of fifth avenue and not lose any votes." He pulled the phrase out of his ass but I think he was correct. His base either chooses to ignore his lifetime of scumbaggery or they know and just don't care. I doubt there's anything Putin has on him that would turn off the MAGA crowd. And I'm sure he's done some truly horrible shit that we don't know about.
His supporters don't care. They lack empathy. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the only way they will care is if his poor decisions impact them in a very personal, tangible way.
And even then that's not a guarantee. Lots of people on social media complain about the results of his administration and include the addendum: "Please don't blame my special boy for my misery."
