    How is this not massive news?

    Faux News had to jump through 100 hoops and do all sorts of gymnastics to connect Biden to some Ukraine business to claim he was corrupt and every fucking Magoo knows the Hunter Biden laptop… Trump just straight up says “PAY MY RESORT $1 MILLION” and then changes policy in your favor and that’s not corrupt?

    $1 million-a-head dinner

    I can’t even imagine what that would look like. Surely the ingredients can’t be that expensive? And while cooks and staff probably are paid very well, are they gonna spend so much time on a single dinner to warrant that price?

      The actual food and service is probably only maybe a couple hundred to a couple thousand/plate

      The rest of the price is the “donation”. The tactic itself is not bad, many charities and fundraisers do the same thing, charge a hundred or 2 (if it’s an event for us pleebs) per person for food and the event and the rest is your donation.

      What the donation is for is the problem here

      I’m betting it’s more like a fundraising dinner — you’re not paying that price just because of the food

    Pay to play. Trump is full blown criminal now. This is only going to get worse unless something stops it.

    Nothing like going to mar a lago and eating a 1 million dollar dinner. We need laws against this type of corruption

      The only people capable of applying such laws are the very same corrupt people you want to have subject to such laws.

    So do you think there will be any consequences for these businesses just outright buying US policy after Trump?

    Imagine not being aware how pathetic you look when someone bribes you. What’s that dinner like? Rich people always worry about their status. Who’s more important, who has the most money? Trump sitting down to dicuss this for a million dollars. A million dollars is so cheap to them. They must be laughing on the way home at how easy it is to manipulate him.

    That’s a good investment Jensen.
