So Trump imposes blanket tariffs, and only when a CEO pays him $5 million will he offer a carveout. Anyone who thinks he’s “draining the swamp” is either complicit or a fool.

With full immunity baked in a cake from SCOTUS, he knows he can actually shoot that person on the 5th ave and walk away with freedom as long as he says it was part of his job. The GOP won't get rid of him so he can do anything and never see jail time.
Tech billionaires and free range criminals paying for a chance to kiss Trump's ass and compete with big players like Bezos, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Musk, et al. is pathetic and honestly disgusting.
Our former presidents and politicians go to universities to get paid six figures for preaching about the high cost of education. The only difference is price. Neither is ok.
Not sure how dumb you have to be as a maga 🍊 felon supporter and not see what he is doing.
He has turned America from the "shining bright light on the hill" into a country "For Sale"
If there is a hell, I hope it will be extra special for him and all the GOP.
He has immunity for official acts. Tariffs are official acts. Is taking money to be immune from the tariffs a crime or an official act? (And is the SCOTUS majority stupid or complicit?)
Thought “we” were revering the office of the President.. apparently that is for sell too. And @thedemcoalition.bsky.social and the Dems stood down for Al Green
All this shit that's not normal @briantylercohen.bsky.social , when we pull a trifecta,will we pass laws against all this crap. My gut tells me no. 1)No Felon considered 2)Tax Returns required 3)No personal cell phone 4)No personal social media account, and on and on and on. We don't this continues
Just wait until both Musk and Trump check out of this world. I hope they get to whichever gate they deserve and are asked…*List 5 things* you did to torture your fellow man/women!
This is where we're going. All federal largess to be doled out by Trump. Gives him the power to reward those who pay him or otherwise support him and to punish those who don't. It's already happening, folks, the question is how do we stop it?
Trump and the Republicans can break any law they want. There’s no way the FBI will do anything about it. Heads won’t allow the investigation and any FBI agent would lose his job if he tried. And this is why they kept saying President Biden Weaponized the justice system it was to desensitize you.
Hunter Biden and President Biden were guilty of influence peddling. The Republicans kept saying they spent millions of tax dollars on that force and now they’re letting Trump actually be paid off. Trump is making billions being president right now and every Republican standing with him are cowards.
He does it because he can, no one will stop him, no one in msm will report on him, and these companies apparently have enough money to pay him. It is
completely ridiculous…and next month it will be 6 million, and the month after that 7 million…when will people learn.
America is a business and this administration is the most corrupt organization in history. And that includes the mafia, the Catholic Church, the Medici, and modern day Russia.
Hey Chuckie and Hakim if your friends across the isle found out the Biden or Obama were doing this they would be fueling a 10 alarm blaze of outrage across all media platforms.
Are you saying the execs from the three auto makers paid 5 mil each to meet with him privately to talk him into this? Is there evidence of this? If so, that is fucked up.
Anyone who has ever voted for Trump is in a cult. Republicans had been programming people for about 40 years via radio and television and print media, and then Trump co-opted all that and created a cult out of it. His very own cult of personality. I don't even think this is what Republicans wanted.
@warren.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @bennet.senate.gov @hickenlooper.bsky.social. We need a list of business leaders paying to see the President, and an accounting of hus subsequent decisions. The American people would like to know what companies to boycott.
Trump is raiding the U.S. assets as if it were a corporate takeover. He is crippling the agencies that are designed to protect us from the trump brand of extortion, money-laundering, insider-trading, tax evasion, fraud, union-busting, and theft.
Paying to have access to a President? Holy sh$t! Former President Biden would have been impeached immediately! We have sunk so low that our Country is crawling on our belly like a snake.
He is a criminal and it’s all about the money. Does anybody expect him not to sell something if he thinks he can get a fucking nickel it would talk a child out of it. Impeachment would be good right now
Sounds like a normal weekend at sHitler’s compound. Golf, grift, call Uncle Vlad for orders, eat, whine, watch himself on TV, eat more, whine, grift, lie, check on eElon, threaten someone (plural), lie, whine a whole bunch, count 💰,go to bed, dream of revenge & count $ again.
Repeat the next day.
They’ll GIVE nasty little trump millions in an attempt to get on his good side. Apparently they don’t understand he doesn’t have a good side. Once he has your money he’ll PLAY YOU LIKE THE FOOLS YOU ARE. You would get a better return on your investment by paying your employees more. SUCKERS
And it shouldn’t be going on a Mar-a-Lago. It should be going on in the White House where there’s a sign in sheet where they have to make appointments through the staff. And it’s noted who came and what they discussed at his home. Nothing is given to the public, where is the Secret Service?
If only we had something like an emoluments clause or laws against officeholders taking bribes, and if only it were a norm to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
If only we didn't have a congress full of pussy ass bitches that won't do anything because they're worried about keeping their jobs. Those people don't deserve the jobs they have if that's how they feel. I think every last one of them needs to go Republican and Democrat. Start over
He is corrupt. Impeach him.
He is a traitor. Impeach him.
He is stealing from the tax payer. Impeach him.
He is breaking the law. Impeach him.
IMPEACH HIM!!!
No, I don’t think the mafia hurts women or children. They are usually off limits but this admin could give a rat’s ass about women or children. Shameful
You’re probably the type that blames a woman for being raped because of what she’s wearing.🙄 He chose to engage in criminal behavior. You choose to defend felonious behavior. Your values and his align. Got it. By the way, it’s “is”. Singular. You’re welcome.
Will they be saved when they have all the fiat currency in the US, all the precious metals and stones, and all other material goods? They're plaguing us with their addiction to wealth, possessions, power, and control. Not one of us would be allowed to abuse others like this.
Such a prozaic crook scheme. It's not even Bond villain level. Barely Powerpuff Girls vilain at best. US bribes used to be complicated and required decades to grease lobbyists in the system. At least this IS EFFICIENT
'The Swamp' is deep in the heart of this country. Republicans have tried time after time, year after year , screamed and lamented about the 'Deep State' being 'The Swamp' It is, and it's called 'Democracy'. And yes, they are draining the swamp. Every fucking pennies worth.
While Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm to avoid any conflict of interest. The presidency under Trump will be a den of thieves by the time he's done. If not already so.

And, let's not forget, if some illegal immigrant happens to have $5 million walkin' around money in his pocket, Trump will welcome him with Uncle Sam - green card in hand!
Is it the business leaders' $5m or have they called it a 'conference expense' in the business? Or some such grift? Personally I wouldn't pay $5 to sit near Trump
tell me again how selling the presidency isn't illegal? They don't even hide it. All of the evidence is wide open, and yet again, nothing gets done. they're all bought and paid for.
Who gets that money? If the president gets a gift of any real monetary value, it must be accepted on behalf of the american people and put aside. $5M is a hell of a lot of value.
Comments
Can someone tell me how this clearly illegal process is OK with the "law and order" party?
As it scares them enough to want to make a deal.
Now that he’s given notice for April, it gives 30 days for companies to line-up and shell-out.
At the same time, he’s further destabilizing the US and its allies.
/sincere
of the emoluments.
No one cares.
He's openly selling access to the President--himself--and NO ONE will stop him.
I guess it's fine though, since nobody is putting a stop to it.
He has turned America from the "shining bright light on the hill" into a country "For Sale"
If there is a hell, I hope it will be extra special for him and all the GOP.
The media: “dEmOcRaTs iN dIsArRay”
He lit it on fire
Impeach!

America Knows!
🇺🇸 ⚖️🗽
He holds court and forces other rich and powerful people to grovel at his feet and pay tribute.
That's why he loves tariffs so much.
It's almost unbelievable that this is happening, right out in the open.
Just blatant corruption.
completely ridiculous…and next month it will be 6 million, and the month after that 7 million…when will people learn.
Every rumor, every conspiracy theory about Biden was taken up by the Republican House members and disseminated to Fox News and back.
Endless instances of real, blatant Trump corruption like this is not only discarded or dismissed but embraced by the Republicans!
Repeat the next day.
That's so honorable.
"Hitler had campaigned on the promise of draining the “parliamentarian swamp”—den parlamentarischen Sumpf"
…and this is only part of what is known about the grift!
He is a traitor. Impeach him.
He is stealing from the tax payer. Impeach him.
He is breaking the law. Impeach him.
IMPEACH HIM!!!
It out in the open.
Of course!!! Or why else would they be charged⁉️⁉️⁉️
Elon Musk had to pay $270 million for Trump.
