As soon as he started talking about tariffs, this was obvious. Imposition of tariffs creates a market for exemptions. A guy who promised policy favours in return for donations is going to keep his hands clean? Trump has finally found a business where he can make money - government.

Buy a few million in meme coins. No tariff for you. Flagrant corruption in plain view.

Amazon.

He loves his ass kissed. That says it all, he is in this all for himself and does not want to help the American people. Never has, never will.

We the consumer gets screwed either way. Our price will go up regardless of whether it is to cover a tariff or a bribe.

Exactly what he is doing -- bribery!

Follow the money. Too bad his "official acts" are exempt from consequences. Guess we have to settle for prosecuting his co-conspirators?

Every time I hear Trump say, "We've been treated so badly by (fill in the blank)", I hear him saying ""my daddy treated me (Trump) so badly"". He is a sick man.

You betcha. King of the grift. Sad sack. Clown. Dangerous man. 78 mil more afraid of woman w brown skin than autocratic dimwit. Go figure.

Spoken like a true Mob Boss

The Cons on the Supreme Cult thought he'd push through their agenda and here he is, thieving away with the immunity they gave him. I hope he keeps them up at night.

No. He is realizing he made a huge mistake and he is destroying US companies. China is not going to back down, so he needs to except companies like Apple.

The process of a con-man and the bribe: - Threaten - Ask for bribes - Take - Use that exchange as blackmail - Take more - Stab in the back - Take the rest - Add insult before leaving. That is why momma says don't work with bad people.

Bribes from some, punishment for others.

Picking winners and losers
