Auburn Blake11Can you imagine reading this kind of headline in like 1990? Would be end of presidency, no questions asked. In 2026, you won't hear about this again and is a drop in the bucket.
h0pe4dfuture.bsky.social3Never have we had such a high profile extortioner.
Jon Marcus3And the republicans still protect all his illegal activities. #disgusting
William Reece1Sounds like something other than a ‘minefield.’
The lead investor in a South Korean aluminum company paid Trump's holding firm $2 million last year. The Korean company has business before Trump's administration, challenging Commerce Department penalties on certain exports. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/14/u...
The Hot Stepper4You can call it a bribe, we do.
James Meguerian2Trump's corruption and the GOP acceptance of it MUST be the defining theme for Democrats. Not a stretch at all to say the overwhelming majority of Americans of any affiliation will find this corruption unacceptable and will throw the accomplices out of office.
The 5th Dentist1Not a “minefield”…. Rather, a purposefully created system for extracting bribes. Minefields are something people avoid. This is a deliberate scheme.
I do not believe that the acceptance of bribes and the theft of taxpayer money are core constitutional powers or official acts for which a president would be entitled to immunity of any kind under supreme court precedent.
Joe Walsh99Public corruption. At a scale we’ve never ever seen before. All out in the open. Because he doesn’t give a fuck. Because he knows Congress won’t do a damn thing about it, and he believes the American people don’t give a damn about it.👇
Nacmtrader173Ken Griffin Supports this and wants to ensure the GOP wins in midterms so it can continue
David Gillaspie2they made jimmy carter sell his peanut farm
Who told him he could get a pardon for $600k? Trump was selling pardons at the end of his first term for $2m and if I recall, it was Rudy Giuliani who was brokering them. They're all crooks, but yes, this is indeed the most corrupt...by far. I don't remember ever being more bewildered...😔
francioso.bsky.social7You are ONLY "bewildered"?? I am shocked and hurt to my core to see what America has become: went from being the beacon of hope to millions of people around the world, to becoming a cesspool of greed and corruption worthy of the worst banana republic. NEVER before have I witnessed such behavior
irisheyes☘️5I remember naively thinking that Nixon was the worst and most corrupt president I’d ever see in my lifetime. Then Trump came along and said “hold my beer”!
frankriveramar1.bsky.social3Could have been a flash sale or maybe he had a coupon code?🥴
Ms. Trannÿ of Tÿranny 🏳️⚧️1This feels like he has plenty of reasons to impeach under treason to where they could litigate them all end to end and it could take the rest of the year where at least one would stick.
Lucky LaRue1Betcha Rudy has his hand in the cookie jar (of ‘most-likely-to-be-rejected’ applicants)….scooping up the crumbs!
Metallichuck (It is right to rebel!)1Probably Roger Stone or someone connected to him. That's how it was in his last admin.
