“It’s a great idea to take a half-billion airplane from Qatar as a bribe” really does show the absolute moral collapse of Congress, his followers, the Pocket Constitution bros, abd the MAGA “media.”
Elon donated $291 million to Trump.
Then, Trump’s administration didn’t take action on 40 investigations and killed cases involving Tesla, Space X, and Neuralink — saving Elon billions.
The $291 million was a bribe.
This is what corruption looks like.
The reason we hate the media is they spent four fucking years treating Hunter Biden like some criminal mastermind, just blanketing the news cycles with smear stories about him but can't seem to muster that same energy for this rank corruption.
“No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” - Article I, Sec 9, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution
We have this thing in America called the Emoluments Clause that says that the government of Qatar can't give Donald Trump a gilded Boeing 747 worth $400 million dollars
Reporter: “The economy shrank. People are blaming tariffs. 401ks are tanking.”
JD Vance: “Well, we inherited a $2 trillion trade deficit…”
How does a Yale Law grad confuse a trade deficit with a budget deficit on national TV?
This isn’t a debate. It’s economic illiteracy with an execute pin.
After Trump and Rubio claimed they mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, India’s foreign ministry contradicted them, saying the ceasefire was arranged directly between the two countries
They lie about everything
If Bob Menendez can get 11 years in prison for accepting gold bars from Egypt - Trump can get 11 years in prison for accepting a Boeing jumbo jet from Qatar.
Republicans had hearings to impeach Joe Biden for a year over a $10,000 wire transfer and now they are fine with Trump making a billion dollars off a fake crypto currency and accepting a luxury jet from a foreign country.
Karoline Leavitt says white South Africans are fleeing to the U.S. because of “racial persecution.”
Let’s talk about persecution. In 1913, Black South Africans were banned from owning land. 93% of farmland was handed to white settlers. Entire communities were bulldozed for white expansion.
Fast forward: white South Africans make up 7% of the population, yet still own 72% of private farmland.
But yeah, they’re the oppressed ones.
This isn’t refugee policy.
It’s apartheid nostalgia dressed up as victimhood.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but NO, Donald Trump cannot accept a $400 million flying palace from the royal family of Qatar.
Not only is this farcically corrupt, it is blatantly unconstitutional.
Congress must not allow this over-the-top kleptocracy to proceed.
