  1. TL;DR:

    * Donald Trump said his businesses were “doing services” for foreign countries during his presidency.
    * Democrats recently accused Trump’s businesses of receiving foreign payments while he was in office.
    * “I don’t get $8 million for doing nothing,” Trump said at a Fox News town hall on Wednesday. 

  3. The fucker was probably selling national secrets and getting paid through his private companies. He’s a total piece of shit.

  4. He thinks this is a clever novel defence because he usually takes money from people and reneges on what was agreed upon

  5. It definitely feels like we are living in some sort of alternate reality. It is so crazy that we actually need a constitutional amendment to specify that a President is not allowed to sell our military or intelligence services’ secret information to our enemies. It is beyond insane that the MAGA cult still claims to be pro-Trump AND somehow, at the same time still be “patriots”. He openly admits to selling our military and intelligence secrets to our enemies, FFS 🙁

  6. Giving them our secrets!!! The man is a traitor, but it is not him alone, the whole republican party, way before trump was and still is planning on the destruction of American democracy.

  7. The Hunter Biden nonsense is going to be great fodder for quote mining accusations against Diaperboy, and his family.

  8. What i want to know, what was the quid pro quo for the two billion that jared-the-mute got? Why would anyone entrust even 2 million in him??

  11. Yeah ” services “. He is a russian asset, you can guess what kind of services he is talking about.

  12. When this is all over, and IF the Dems have power in all three branches, can you guys PLEASE but into writing all these implied rules and beliefs that your government officials should follow, so that this doesn’t happen again? Like showing tax records, not employing family for financial gain, not trying to make financial gain from office, not being able to blatantly lie over and over again, not selling state secrets and just to be clear, presidents can’t assassinate political opponents- I know it’s implied, but maybe have a specific law for that, to be clear…

  13. You have to wonder how many millions it actually was and what the ‘services’ actually were.

  14. Did he really admit that? Wow. On second thought though, duh, sure he did.

  15. Hunter Biden sold access to his then retired Dad. BURN HIM DOWN!!!

    DJT admits not just 1 person but his businesses did foreign bidding for millions while he was in office. It’s fine. I wouldn’t worry about it. Don’t worry about it. I’m not worried about it at all.

  18. Nothing to see here, all part of the presidential immunity. Which also goes for the Trump family. All good. He can do whatever he likes as president. Or former president. Or whatever he did before he became president. All part of the presidential immunity. It only goes for Trump, not any other president. But all is well.

  21. Reminds me of the episode of Sopranos where Tony tells Phil to bill Barone Trash for a service that the trash company never performs so he can get paid out his cut of a deal on the backside. “I’ll handle the tax hit but I want my fucking money” Tony tells him.

  22. He admitted to violating ArtII.S1.C7.1 Emoluments Clause and Presidential Compensation. He admitted to a crime.

  24. Yeah but Spy services are really frowned upon Donald.😒

  25. Prostitute tells judge she is not guilty because she was providing services for her johns. Trump is the confused prostitute.

  26. >Donald Trump said his businesses were “doing services” for foreign countries during his presidency. “I don’t get $8 million for doing nothing,” Trump said at a Fox News town hall on Wednesday.

    That’s the problem dipshit.

  27. Yeah, orange moron. That’s how bribes and selling national secrets works. You get paid for selling out your country to enrich yourself like a cheap con man grifter. Nothing to be proud of, Shitler!

    Toss his ass in prison and throw away the key.

  28. We knew he was violating the emoluments clause in real time and nothing was done about it. In his mind he’s taking bribes and it’s benefiting the country and therefore it’s part of his official duties

  29. The man who thinks by admitting to the crime he will convince people he’s allowed to do it.

    It’s a bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for’em.

  30. Raskin brought this up during whatever the hell that hearing was yesterday. And then Timmons immediately went on Trump’s defense, and suggested that it’s all fake and demanded proof. There was a hearing report about it that he 100% did not read.

    I think then Timmons staffers eventually got through to him because not long after the suggestion their was no 8 million, he then went on to justify Trump getting the money because he offers services.

    The GOP has absolutely lost the plot.

  31. They are trying so hard to prove that Biden, while out of office, had second hand business dealings involving foreign companies, and not finding anything. Meanwhile Trump admits to taking money directly from foreign governments on National Television. Says he had to “work” for it. I bet he did!

  32. Fuck me, when will I never have to see that smug fucking face ever again

  33. Yes, and just like Thomas and Scalia, that is called bribery.

  34. Any one of the things he’s done would spell doom for any Democrat and yet he’s still here

  35. If Trump was servicing foreign governments, does that mean he can write off his kneepads as a business expense.

  36. Thank you for admitting to committing crimes while in office. Should be a slam dunk case for prosecutors. And this duplicitous diaper stain has the gall to say Joe Biden is corrupt

  37. Look, you guys are tripping. I was just trying to sell nuclear secrets to USSR 2.0 while simultaneously having my son in law siphon a couple bil off the Saudis and fleecing my cultists for all I can scam out of them.

    You’re acting like I was selling out for a profit and that I was specifically not allowed to do that.

  38. The president of the United States ‘doing services’ for foreign governments? Exactly what services?

  39. They say all criminals are dumb and snitch on themselves but he has to be king of the regards at this point.
