That's nothing. In Malaysia the former pm claimed the house of Saud donated several hundred million to his campaign coffers just before our 14th general election. Maybe denigrating anyone not christian or white was not a good idea.

Yes this is true. With that said, being reelected is the only way he avoids potentially dying in prison so things are fucked either way.
“So I went to the Saudis - lovely people by the way with the best camels, just amazing - and I said hey, I’ve got this problem with a judge and I need half a billion. And they said ‘Donald, don’t worry about it, we got you’ and that’s how I got rid of those crooked Democrats and their election interference case”
We are about to witness either;
- An epic fire sale of Trump world assets to cover this judgment bill
- Donald trying to weasel out of this, as long as the courts allow
- The biggest foreign influence operation this country has ever seen
My bet is on the latter 2 at the same time
My bet is Voronizh budget will be cut in half. Also Trump will get donation of half the Voronezh's budget.
He’s not gonna pay shit and we’re well on our way to forgetting about it. As soon as the papers stop asking the judge will lower the sentence or some shit. The courts are for us, not for them.
His supporters will give him any money he needs.
We really think he wouldn't have sold out the country before this? This is basically an argument that we shouldn't hold Trump accountable because he might do something rash or lash out. Fuck that and fuck him. He shouldn't get special treatment. Throw the book at him.
glad to see the secret art of reading comprehension remains closely guarded
glad to see the art of sarcastic ad hominem is alive and well
I wish all of tiny d's problems were just his. He should be headed to prison and his dumb ass given zero platform.
All of these lower court judgements are going to get him reelected.
Jesus. If I had an employee like him, YOUR FIRED!!
If you had an employee like him, you'd just laugh at the useful idiot while having Navalny killed in jail.
I hope he sold those national secrets for more then half a billion.
Edit: no I don't.
So you hope he sold them for less than half a billion?
Billion dollar loser... AGAIN
I'm looking forward to where they will be produced. I'd they actually source and produce most of the material and even the shoe itself I the us, it would be actually pretty impressive and worth the cost, if they are quality shoes. But I guess the will produce in Asia, like everyone else and not really make profit for Americans but rather no profit for the cheap labor and all the other profit for trump himself. Funny how things work sometimes, but let's await the outcome first! Cognitive dissonance I think?
When has he ever cared about a quality product? This shit will be made in North Korea.
Donald Trump has doubled down on his threat to undermine Nato, saying "we're not going to protect" allied countries he believes do not pay enough to maintain the alliance if he returns to the White House next year.
Meanwhile, this f**king deadbeat gets Secret Service protection for life, funded by U.S. taxpayers.
Sure would save us some money if we'd throw the crook in jail. I know he'd still have SS there, but I'd imagine it would be way cheaper.
Factoring in the number of people who claim they'll piss on his grave, they might need SS there, too.
False. This is not my problem.
It is, tho.
A man commanding the largest military on the planet who is in substantial personal debt and has no moral compass of any type is, unfortunately, everyone’s problem.
But he's not.
