Trump: "Some people say 'Oh, you shouldn't accept gifts for the country.' My attitude is, 'Why wouldn't I accept the gift?'"

am sick of his filthy lies and stupidity.
9-0 ruling for SCOTUS means literally nothing without enforcement.
Well?
The reason America is great is because of our constitution, we cast it aside at our peril.
-Because ethics
-Because owing favors
-Because staggeringly, brazenly corrupt
-Because it's fucking embarrassing
I notice his actual criminal defense attorneys and his civil litigation attorneys are nowhere to be seen; they understand the actual legal process and would probably be telling him to knock it off.
But the enablers? Ha!
Unclear only to those who wish to violate.
Or who support the Great Violator.
And it looks like a third world war is developing around the world. And Trump as president is the perfect storm. And 77 million Trump Base supporters Voted for This. Democrats playby old rules.
B. What’s wrong withe plane he’s flying on right now
he no longer should be referred to as president-that title he has obliterated with his greed/corruption & supreme court blessing & authoritarian project 2025-maga should be renamed MTRA-make trump rich again or CIK - corruptness is key
A. Approved by Congress
B. They don’t fucking end up in a former President’s possession AFTER he’s no longer President in ANY FORM!!! #STFUaboutTheStatueofLiberty #FuckinghalfwitMAGAS

For those in tune with the Bible… does that sound like someone.
Hint: not Christ.
This Mango Moron didn't even put his hand on the bible this time.
Meanwhile he's selling AI chips, hosting multi-million dollar golf tournaments to murderers and state sponsors of terror.
MAGA Republicans are brain dead zombies.
*And* they owned the libs.
What could possibly be more important than that?
The Constitution doesn't mean shit and neither do the laws.
"Rules for thee..." and all that.
nunca voy a entender como 70 millones de hijoeputas, votaron por el cabrón hijoeputa
The dinners are very adjacent to normal political fundraising, and the meme coin feels like a new phenomenon and is legal and being done widely (although I see it as effectively ponzi schemes which will be banned at some time).
This is traditional, age old corruption.
right ?
Right?!
Meanwhile, Congress is acting as if they're going to be able to sit this one out, too. No actions, no consequences.
Apart from that, he also admires the country that attacked America's twin towers because they have money to spend.
It's all about the money and where he can make a buck.
The two dolls president has no morals.
like again...
Never forget the m.o. of Donald Trump's presidency, and career in general:
"Try and stop me."
Art of the grift.
1/. Bible.
2/. US Constitution.
The dictionary should put a picture of Trump next to the word "shameless"
ArtI.S9.C8.3 “no Person holding any Office…shall…accept any present, of any kind whatever, from any King or foreign State”

Oh, it’s also unethical? Ok.
But besides that.
Oh, it’s also a security risk? Ok.
But besides that.
Oh, it also establishes a disastrous precedent in bribery? Ok.
But besides that…
If we BELIEVE that HE BELIEVES there's no crime, then it isn't a crime, by law, there must be intent to commit or easily claimed as a mistake, a joke, or ignorance
Yet nobody openly states to him on camera, "You must KNOW this is a crime"
His 1% truth = his "attitude"(knowing it's a crime) is still 'why wouldn't I (not "WE") accept the gift?'
The BEST criminals commit their crimes IN THE OPEN
They also KNOW they are committing crimes & rely on no legal action to be taken
