    It’s about time Congress woke the fuck up. The only option here is to impeach - this is textbook corruption that would make Senator Menendez blush.

      It’s about time Congress woke the fuck up.

      You think they’re not? Every member of the house of representatives, and every senator, knows what’s going on. It’s not that they’re asleep, it’s that they don’t care enough to endanger their own cozy money machine.

    Global extortion racket goes brrrrrr. There will be no recovery until his and his regime are removed from power and jailed, he will not leave by any other process aside from just dying, and even then I wouldn’t put it past the administration to use his image and AI to continue their assault on America.

    A gold bar? A fuckin’ gold bar?

    Didn’t he whine about Bob Menendez doing literally this not long ago?

        That should be illegal for everyone.

        Also any Democrat that is involved in corruption shouldn’t be trusted to work for the people. If someone is corrupted it is easy to buy them.

          It’s not illegal for everyone because not everyone holds a public office… It is however already completely illegal for anyone holding a government job.

            Well trump is and Memendez was working for the government.

            By “everyone” I of course meant people working for the government.

            Only if they don’t have the consent of congress. Congress however consents to whatever the fuck Trump tells them to.

    Hi Senator,

    It was a bribe. Hope that answers your questions.

    Sincerely, Everyone with a functioning brain.

    Trump’s love of lavish gifts bribes is well known and many are displayed in the Oval Office

    Is it so hard to call out blatant corruption in front of your face?

      I mean Washington has been like that for a while but usually “campaign donations”

      Most of Trump’s bullshit is just saying the quiet part out loud. He is especially brazen about it and it doesn’t make suck less.

      To anyone smarter than a lemming (the animal, not you fuckers), it was since before that dreadful escalator trip to hell in 2015.

    Its fine. I’m sure, just like the jet, they will be “donated” to his presidental library but for security, of course, he will need to take them with him everywhere at all times.
