    As much as I’d like to see this shit stain go down, op is right. Where’s the evidence? I’ve seen it speculated for a long while, and I dont doubt it for a second, but I do think this would have been jumped on long before we heard about it if it were irrefutable. To blindly.downvote this and and be a chicken shit the same way the right says “do your research” is not how you should aim to operate.

      Thank you for this comment. You made me realize that I was being a dick earlier. In the interest of posterity, I left up the asshole shit I said earlier and made a new, actually civil response.

      To add further to the discussion, one thing I didn’t mention in my other response is that different standards of veracity are being applied here. This isn’t a court of law, the article posted even qualifies the statements as being claimed by Mary Trump. Note the words “may have” and “Mary Trump claims” in the title.

      So to go ahead and demand concrete evidence and spout “innocent until proven guilty” is just ridiculous.

        You know what, I was too, so sorry homie. Got anything I can read up on regarding this? I think it’s important that if we’re gonna have trump in our face like this, at the very least if we give him publicity, it should be accompied by with aolid, easy to share reasons to get out and vote against him as well as help others do the same. Selling state secrets is in a whole other ballgame of denger compared to the other heinous shit this dude has normalized in our country imo.

          Thank you, I appreciate you.

          I used to have a site bookmarked that kept track of the terrible shit this guy did, but I no longer have that laptop. If I can find it again I’ll message it to you. Regarding this current, specific situation, there’s already an established pattern of his attitude regarding state secrets.

          Here’s an article from last year with examples.

            Likewise. I’ve seen that as well, regarding him keeping shit around, lying about it, volunteering info (sat imaging, nuclear sub details, etc.) it would not surprise me one bit if he’s sold secrets to Russia or the Saudis.

            Please do if you find some more deets
