12. Dirty politics 101...

... One of the lessons Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, pounded home relentlessly was, "GET DIRT ON EVERYBODY!" and don't hesitate to use it. Get 'em by the short curlies, and their hearts and minds will follow.
There is zero doubt in my mind that Trump did exactly that to Graham. For Christ's sake, he fuckin' BRAGGED about doing it to his opponents as a matter of course! What makes anyone think that he'd spare widdoo Windsey? Fuggedaboutit.
I've been watching Trump's clown show for more than 40 years, and constantly getting away with evil shit has only made him worse, if that can be imagined. The entire world is at risk as long as he's in the Oval Office, but America is already well and truly fucked.
Even Jeffrey Epstein said, "...I have met some very bad people, but none as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body. So yes, dangerous."
