That's not how money works.

The peasant educational system is a double edge sword. They become easier to manipulate, but have an unrealistic view of the economy and the scope of real resources.

Society NEEDED class warfare to maintain efficiency, but we're way past the planetary boundaries under that system, what we need now is AI-powered Communism.

I am just going to put this here and ask the question: But what about the kompromat?

BBC News catches some very delusional quotes from Trump about Greenland.

"I think the people want to be with us," Trump said when asked about the island in the press room on board the presidential plane.

"I don't really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn't allow that to happen because it's for the protection of the free world," he added.

"I think Greenland we'll get because it has to do with freedom of the world," Trump continued.

"It has nothing to do with the United States other than that we're the one that can provide the freedom. They can't."

Despite Trump's apparent confidence, the prime ministers of Greenland and Denmark have both previously said the island was not for sale.

To rattle his support base, I'd think it would have had to be irrefutable evidence of a serious crime that they would care about, on the level of murder, rape or treason. Everyone already knows that he is a scumbag: rapist, scammer, liar, adulterer, and is utterly incompetent for the job. His supporters just don't care.
Any videos of him with Russian prostitutes wouldn't change a thing.

To rattle the man himself, it would need to be something that makes him look weak ... even in his own eyes. If there is something that he is afraid of, it is looking weak.

Also, about the piece-of-pravda itself:
If you intend to convince a Russian ego, it is very incompetent to say that "they helped us win the Second World War".
Over in Russia, the war is known as "The Great Patriotic War" and they still have yearly parades celebrating the victory and commemorating the lives lost, to which the Russian leadership attend.
While the US lost soldiers, but only a handful of people on their own soil, for Russia it was a fight for survival: not just for soldiers but also the USSR/Russian populace. There are millions of individual stories about both military and civilian hardships during the war: For example the siege of Leningrad — which was where Putin was born and lived before he became President. They take it quite seriously. Trump's message can therefore be taken as being disrespectful.
A bad start to any talks, which, if Russia is going to concede anything, would have to be done in a way without Putin losing face.
