You assume Trump is capable of feeling shame.

I’m sure Putin has blackmail material, but he doesn’t need it. Trump idolizes strongmen and dictators, so he’ll jump through any hoops his beloved Pooty-Poot sets up for him.

Weird note I saw earlier:

Nobody seems to have any instance where they ever saw Trump laugh.

He doesn’t laugh.

He smiles when socially appropriate, but he has no innate sense of humor at all (which seems to be case according to the people who tried to work with him for his Comedy Central Roast).

It reminds me of the devils from C.S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters who expressed profound respect for each other (while trying to backstab) but were utterly humorless in the extreme and considered laughter to be an insult to the austerity of Hell.
