TRUMP: "When you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do."


"As a businessman and a very substantial donor to very important people, when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do," Trump said. 


"As a businessman, I need that." He later elaborated during a Republican debate, "I was a businessman, I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And you know what? When I need something from them, two years later, three years later, I call them, and they are there for me."





Donald Trump called an ABC journalist a "sleaze" the other day.  Well Trump certainly knows about sleaze:



From VOX:

State attorneys general who dropped Trump University fraud inquiries subsequently got Trump donations

"Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi briefly considered joining with Schneiderman in a multi-state suit against Trump University." But it ultimately didn't happen:

Three days after Bondi's spokeswoman was quoted in local media reports as saying the office was reviewing the New York lawsuit, the Donald J. Trump Foundation made a $25,000 contribution to a political fundraising committee supporting Bondi's re-election campaign. Bondi, a Republican, soon dropped her investigation, citing insufficient grounds to proceed.




Contribution or bribe?  We report; you decide.


Full Definition of bribe 


1 : money or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust 

2 : something that serves to induce or influence




A must read, Conservative pundit,  David Frum's "The Seven Broken Guardrails of Democracy."


"The American republic was long safeguarded by settled norms, now shattered by the rise of Donald Trump."



Thank you, R.D.  Here it is:

I wonder how grand the gobshytes think their man, Trump is now that they know he was scamming poor people out of money for his sleazy university scheme? Oh but nothing he does matters to thenm because he's not Klintoon. They've shown they'd back Satan himself as long as he's a Republican. In fact are we sure Trump isn't Satan himself?
