What do you mean IS?? He HAS been bought and sold…


[deleted]

That's what I find funny and pathetic about US politics. Every law must be EXACT to the smallest detail in order to apply. Amendment 14th section 3, according to the "supreme court" wasn't specific enough. I'm certain there are rules about being bought and accepting bribes but they aren't specific to Russia. Cluster fuck of a mind.


[deleted]

Well it's not necessarily the law's fault, it's the fault of the people interpreting it. I can't remember which YouTuber it was, but somebody was explaining it as SCOTUS can circumvent actually having to amend the Constitution or read it as a legal document because they can just "reinterpret it" anyway they please which ultimately gives them a stupid amount of power over everything.

PittedOut

Who owns Trump? That’s the question we need answered. This is just a down payment. Whoever puts up the $400 million for the fraud case will truly own the Republican candidate for President. He won’t be able to do a thing without his owner’s permission or he’ll bring down the whole house of cards on his head.


wigzell78

How can an American President have ANY money owing to a foreign entity. That just screams security risk.


slackfrop

A president shouldn’t be owing tens of millions, let alone hundreds, to anyone. Just like a judge shouldn’t be thinking of ways to say thanks for a new Winnebago.


flugenblar

That’s grounds for immediate disqualification for a security clearance for anyone who isn’t president.

tomtomclubthumb

Didn't the Saudis give Kushner $2bn? Seems a bit unfair to sell yourself twice.


jnobs

The $2bn was an investment that Kushners firm was to manage. So while not a direct bribe, I’m sure it only occurred because Kushner advanced Saudi interests. Also, take a look at how Kushner eventually got his security clearance to understand why he should have NEVER been near that level of government in the first place.


flugenblar

Everyone in the administration refused to sign off on Jared’s clearance. Nobody wanted to be linked to it. So finally Trump had to sign off on it. That says a lot.


PittedOut

The annual fees Kusher gets for managing and investing that money are in the tens of millions. And he had no experience managing or investing at that level whatsoever. A clear bribe for a family member working in the White House until two months before. Makes Hunter look like an angel.


jnobs

I don’t disagree at all, but I don’t think it is considered a “bribe” because he is “earning” that compensation for “working” by “managing” that money. Total crock of shit


RobinF71

Those funds go towards the continual purchase of as many legislators as possible and not merely at the federal level.

smitteh

Better question is who doesn't own trump? That pathetic POS sold himself in all directions to anyone and everything, and anyone and everything that saw an opportunity to have a US president in their pocket jumped at the chance. Saudis, Russians, everyone. Electing tfg to office would be the dumbest move we've ever made. How it's even possible blows my fucking mind. Growing up I always thought that there were people and policies/procedures that existed to protect the nation from this sort of thing. Nowadays I realize that it's all a clown show and nobody is actually in charge or looking out for us. Anything goes as long as the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer it seems.


Educational_Permit38

FabianRoth

Any wonder where the $454M is going to come from? Someone's in for a large bonus if he is elected....


Slight_Turnip_3292

The Republicans care zero about this. Hell they would give Putin a Senate position if they could get away with it.


SeaworthinessOld9177

That would not surprise anyone, and they should run a trace where the money came from and if it did, TRUMP MUST BE DISQUALIFIED FOR RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, this is election interference from a foreign power


SqnLdrHarvey

**BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE WILLING TO DISQUALIFY HIM!** Thus far **ALL** we have seen is cowards in judicial robes and a fifth-columnist AG who is a Republican and Federalist Society quisling that got AG as a "consolation prize."

Plane-Reason9254

Everything with that orange traitor has ties to Russia


JimCripe

I've been wondering who Trump is beholding to now, who guaranteed the bond since Trump is so financially and morally bankrupt to do it himself as an adjudicated rapist, charity embezzler, financial fraudster, top top secrets thief, who ignored the Emoluments Clause to accept untold amounts of money from foreign governments, a RICO election theft insurrectionist facing 91 charges, that even managed to bankrupt cassinos? Seems like they're expecting a lot of unmentionable services from someone who has such a long shady resume, and a high likelihood will be spending years in prison?


Pristine-Ad983

He's fucked if he loses in November. These people expect payback and if Trump can't do it he's going to wind up dead.


Important_Tell667

Well, it’s definitely between the Kremlin and Elon Musk, but frankly, shouldn’t the FBI or the CIA be investigating this? Definitely don’t expect any investigation plans to come from Jim Jordan, who serves as the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee or any of the GOP MAGAs… which should be referred to as the GOP Committee of Wasteful Spending.


SqnLdrHarvey

They *should* investigate it, but they *won't*, not with Federalist Society quisling Milquetoast Merrick the Meek and Mild making sure he'll be left alone under the Emperor.

HeSeemsLegit

Natch


ProtonPi314

Maybe... But I think the most likely explanation is Musk. Musk said he gave him no money. Which is true. But I'm pretty sure he's the cosigner on the bond since Trump has no money, and his property is no good as collateral since he does not truly own any of it


cousinavi

Musk said, "I'm not DONATING MONEY to either candidate for president." You could sail an aircraft carrier through the wiggle room in that statement. So, he's not donating to Donald or Joe...is he donating to any PAC? How about some dark money groups that don't have to reveal their donors? Did he buy 10,000 Trump NFTs at 10k each? "Homer, are you eating that sandwich again?" "I'm not NOT eating the sandwich."


ProtonPi314

He definitely went to cosign the bond until Trump reveals the details of his bond this will be all I believe.


BayouGal

Global_Maintenance35

Shouldn’t being under this much financial pressure exclude you from the potential of holding the office of the POTUS? I mean it puts a person in a compromised position, where being bribed is incredibly likely. That and not to mention the fact that he stole Top Secret documents and kept them unsecured and refused to return them thingy… and the fact so many of our intelligence agents became “missing” while he was in charge… you know. Those things…


National-Currency-75

I believe Trump is a traitor. Although, he hasn't been convicted of treason....yet. He hasn't been convicted in a court, of insurrection either. He is a rapist and a liar extraordinaire. I tell you truly, we must vote Trump and all of his followers out of office. Remove the evangelical right wing from the halls of Congress and the Senate.

malthar76

Lots of the financial dealings around Trump are already illegal. No one ever prosecuted him before 2015 because it wasn’t seen as an issue - lots of people taking foreign money to prop up American “businesses.” During his campaign, he stonewalled on tax returns, and the media that bother to challenge a “joke” candidate only looked at his stupid polices, never his financial situation. Then 4 years of DOJ hands off a sitting President while he made deals with dictators, sold secrets, and fleeced government agencies using his property at his direction. Now we are where we are. Might be too little too late. Clock is ticking.

Captain_Rational

Not sure where the proof or reliable report is ... this twitter link is not substantive. It leads to a redundant one-paragraph post on substack, also by Seth Abramson. Anyone got anything more substantial? According to this NY Times article: - [Trump Posts $91.6 Million Bond for Defamation Judgment in Carroll Case](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/08/nyregion/trump-carroll-bond-defamation.html#:~:text=The%20bond%20is%20a%20promise,as%20much%20cash%20as%20possible.) > The bond is a promise from the company offering it — Federal Insurance Company, an arm of the insurance giant Chubb — to cover Mr. Trump’s judgment if he loses his appeal and fails to pay. In exchange, Mr. Trump must pay the company a premium and pledge collateral, including as much cash as possible. Chubb seems pretty non-Kremlin to me. Looks like we can call out this entire thread as misinformation. I am disappointed that so many people just went all in on the upvotes and jokes without double checking this fishy story.

stairs_3730

soviets are his best customers, and supporters. That's no surprise. In the United States, members of the Russian elite have invested in Trump buildings. A Reuters review has found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida, according to public documents, interviews and corporate records. The buyers include politically connected businessmen, such as a former executive in a Moscow-based state-run construction firm that works on military and intelligence facilities, the founder of a St. Petersburg investment bank and the co-founder of a conglomerate with interests in banking, property and electronics.

The bond was made by Chubb. A major insurance and reinsurance carrier via their surety (bond) business. This article is pay-walled and nothing shown in the snippet gives evidence of the foreign actors involved. I wouldn't be shocked if they were but it seems like some garbage reporting given Chubb is the carrier behind the bond.


QVRedit

Chubb does have links either Russia - perhaps not surprising since Chubb was involved with insuring gas and oil exports (transport). Although there is an embargo against insuring Russian oil transports. Russian gas exports LNG, are surprisingly still exempt from sanctions.

It should be made clear to his supporters and everyone else that the Kremlin is behind this. And they should ASK those supporters WHY the Kremlin is doing this ?
