What does that have to do with Trump accepting hundreds of millions of dollars in what is essentially a kickback payment?

Nothing bad ever happens without Trump being involved. Knowing him, he probably organised the payment to Payman.
A Muslim Payman - you see the name, you know Trump is in there somewhere. It's so obvious. UAE, Afghanistan, money, Trump. Same same.

Trump brags about it. Business deals with the Saudis, golf courses in Vietnam, jumbos from Qatar. Trump is entrepreneurial, not corrupt. He should be studied , not vilified

Except that Hunter Biden didn't hide anything, nor was he found to have done anything wrong when investigated.

Straight out criminal activity.

You really have to ask at what point do Republicans in Congress say "enough is enough" and seek to have Trump removed or simply stop enabling him and his corrupt cabinet? What will have to happen for Republicans in Congress to reach that point? Based on what they've helped him do thus far, I'd say it would have to be something astonishing.

They'll never reach that point.

They're all just waiting for him to die.

None of them have the balls to do anything.

And even if they did, they'd probably end up like Epstein.

In 2009, the InDem Foundation estimated that bribes amounted to $318 billion per year, which was one-third of the GDP at that time'. He's called 'Put in' for a reason.

Forget the sheikhs, Armchair. DL's already agreed to bypass the middleman and sell US chips direct.

Yes, forget all that Biden chip manufacturing and US technological supremacy, DL went with his friends at Nvidia to do a quick side hustle and sell the lot to the Chows direct.

So that's that. We will make America great again, no?
