On the one hand, Trump's brazenness about basically everything makes it hard to see how anything could be effective blackmail.

On the other, he did deny the affair with Stormy Daniels, so perhaps he's easier to blackmail than I think he is?

Donald Trump strikes me as a man who has done a lot of things in his life that is blackmail material.

Done, yes I agree, but it only counts as blackmail if he were responsive to the threat. That responsiveness is the only place where I'm uncertain.

I'm sure he's done something he is very embarrassed about, some sexual fetish on record or something similar.

I wouldn't put it past him to go to war to protect such secrets, if he can conceivably frame it as something positive.
