    I love how they say it’s not a bribe, but a gift for the US military. Meanwhile, literally everything for the military is mandated to be manufactured in the United States.

        Dude, my point is there’s not even the thinnest veneer of campaign donations or inauguration funds or anything.

        It’s literally JUST giving him a big fancy plane to flatter him and make him feel like a big boy.

          My dude, what did you expect from the healthiest president ever who was right about everything and is making the biggest and bestest trade deals with tariffs paid for by foreign countries and totally not the American consumer?

          He would NEVER accept flattery to stroke his ego.

    Does anyone else not feel the humiliation of a foreign country trying to gift us a new command center? Corruption aside, this is incredibly humiliating

    If there’s another president after him, they should just seize the plane since it belongs to the American people anyways. I think the value of a gift that is automatically seized is ludicrously low. I recall nintendo gifting a switch and it was made property of the American People, which usually means it goes to the Smithsonian.

    Trump is just everyone’s whore which is in reality just the mindset of any entrepreneur. Flattering, almost amorous to those who enrich them, feisty and hateful towards those who don’t.

    Now for the gifted few, come claim your goldstar of smartass nuance and accuse of me of hating sex-workers or some other shit you make up in your head.

    This is such classic narcissism.

    The most transactional man in the world sees no problem with people giving him gifts. He would never gift anything to anyone because he’s a narcissist but sees it as necessary for people to give him gifts.
