    I mean it was always a grift.

    Every ‘donation’ is just a bribe and has been from the start.

    I’m sure I didn’t need to state this at this point.

      Yeah, but where’s the money that he raised for the ballroom? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised if he just pocketed it and that our political donation system is not regulated and like everything else, just relies on winks and handshakes, but his grift has to hit some legal wall at some point, right? …right?

        They would not have “donated” if they didn’t have a clear way to siphon it out to whoever or wherever Trump and his cadre wanted it.
