Do you think somebody possibly has video of Trump mocking the handicapped, demeaning US prisoners of war, boasting about sexually assaulting women, praising Vladimir Putin, or urging a violent attack on the US Capitol? That would be huge.
Confessing that he spied on underage girls undressing? Promising to release his tax returns, but never doing it?
Reminiscing fondly about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein?
Publicly fantasizing about "dating" his own daughter?
Imagine if there were video of any of that.
Belittling the mother of a soldier who died in combat for the United States? Congratulating himself that for years he paid no income taxes to the United States? Exulting over swapping "love letters" with the dictator of North Korea? What if any of that was available to view?
Can you imagine if he denied the US citizenship of the first black president? Denounced an Indiana-born judge as untrustworthy because he was "Mexican"? Told a Jewish audience that they were uniquely shrewd with money and loyal only to Israel? What if that were on record?
What if Trump were proven to have paid hush money to a porn star - or to cheating people who enrolled in his scam university - or to defrauding banks who lent money to his company - or were fined half a billion dollars for a rip-off multilevel marketing scheme? Bombshells?
What if Trump raped a woman and then lied about it until he was hit with almost $90 million in damages? What if he stole ultra-secret government documents and shared them with foreign nationals? What if he offered the judge in that 2nd case an appointment as attorney general?
Trump supporters have developed a very robust system of moral immunity. It's very hard to imagine any video more shocking than the material they have already seen, condoned, accepted, and even justified.
So the story has dropped. It's appalling. It's disgusting. It's obviously true. But if sexually assaulting under-age girls is a deal-breaker for you, you were already a Never Trumper.

I should say, ANOTHER story has dropped. But sadly - if they cared about sexual assault, they would be Never Trumpers already
Does Trump habitually sexually assault unwilling women? It's a question he has answered in his own voice. If you're pro-Trump, you've already made your peace with that central aspect of his life and personality.
