The idea that Trump is blackmailed or extorted by jews is certainly within the realm of possibility, but it seems like a high hurdle to leap without a revealing stumble by one or more parties involved in the coercion. I look at this through a human nature lens, and put the typical person in Trump's shoes: how would such a person react to lifestyle-ending, legacy-ending or even life-ending blackmail or extortion? First, let's stipulate that such a person accedes to, instead of defies, the threats. Realistically, very few politicians or rich businessmen would NOT play along, because there are so few men of integrity within their ranks, and this is particularly true as the empire careens to its fatal date with the CivWall. If the blackmail and extortion are convincing and intimidating, the person threatened by these "offers" would obey the directives of the criminal syndicate holding the leverage over him. The stronger the leverage, the more repugnant the demands of the blackmailers. The victim would be pressed into deeds that violate his honor and moral sense. Self-abasement as a survival strategy leaves a mark on one's character. It will be seen in the face and heard in the words. By that I mean, the habit of doing revolting things for revolting people will not be easy to fake with a plasticine smile; the victim's true feelings -- his true disgust with himself -- will out in ways and at times that he cannot suppress. He will sweat and blink and betray inner turmoil with every scripted forsaking of his heartfelt values. He will search about endlessly for ways to undermine his mental captors, and somehow deliver the message to the public that he operates under duress without alerting those who control him, via threats to his livelihood or his life, that he is seeking a way out and wants to destroy the criminal sentries posted at every waypoint of his life. He will be angry with his blackmailers, and hate them and wish death upon them. Does Trump seem like that kind of victim? Does he reveal his discomfort with his blackmail and extortion in his eager and gleeful shilling for jewish power? Does Trump express deeper misgivings in his facial expressions or his messaging? Does he seem continually fearful, distraught, or morose, as a man would be if he was burdened by the sacrifice of his soul for material comfort or even survival? I don't see that in Trump. To me, Trump looks effortlessly comfortable with his Shabbos Prime role. He's a true believer. This isn't to say Trump is not blackmailed/extorted. He can be that, but also happily be willing to do the bidding of his crime bosses. The leverage, in that scenario, would be merely an extra layer of insurance. And, if the leverage continues for decades, it could become a habit so ingrained that the willing victim becomes inured to his own debasement. He grooms himself to perceive virtue in his vice, and honor in serving his devilish master. Therefore, I conclude that jewish blackmail alone cannot explain Trump's decisions. There is evidence that Trump's shabbosity comes from a sincere place. He sold his soul a long time ago, and has made peace with the void in himself.
