His taking a bribe from the enemy we’re at war with is the textbook definition of treason.
Edit: changed my quote to a screen grab of the quote.
Is it real though? He said he was dealing with them in the vaguest way possible with no facts about who he was dealing with or what for, and then Iran said they weren't dealing with him. I'm not sure I would believe anything he says.
Yeah I think you have the right take. Why the hell else would he be secretive about what it is? He brags his ass off every time someone gives his Nazi ass a gift. Normally with a photo of him with it.
He's lying about receiving a bribe as justification.
The whole thing is blatant bullshit.
The post he made on Truth Social was just market manipulation. There's a bunch of news stories about it; people made a sudden flurry of big bets on oil futures minutes before the post went up. Iran immediately told everyone the claim was bullshit, no one had tried to talk to them for days. Now he's being pressed for an explanation and he's doubling down by making up this lie about Iran sending him a bribe or a peace offering or something. It's all just lies on lies.
Did Trump accept a trojan horse?
Let's find out later this week, I guess.
You give him too much credit, there is no present lmao
i know but i can dream for five minutes c'mon i was just getting on clip clop and we were riding in the magical sprinkletree forest
i'm rooting for a trojan pie
Jesus Christ, he speaks like a toddler…
Which is probably what that 'gift' is tbh
This pedophile is the dumbest fucking pedophile to have ever pedophilia. Could it not consume excrement and expire already?
i wonder if there's a way to psyop him into "get rekt liberal"ing himself to death.
He's basically covid in human form, zero intelligence but still able to infect millions and millions of peolle
Throw it on the treason pile, if you can reach that high.
"Wow, Mr. President, that's an amazing wooden horse! So big, so wooden..."
Is he not required to disclose what the present is?
The anticorruption policy where I work requires me to disclose anything more than $50. But I guess there is no morality standard here
Because there is no present. This fucker just keeps making shit up to cover up the fact that he is a fucking idiot that has no clue WTF hes doing in Iran.
He's hinting at Iran that he wants a present, and if they make it a good one, things will go well for them.
The Emoluments Clause was not applied to him in his first failed term, either.
He did it's very big. It's probably cock.
And it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money.
They mailed him a bad dragon dildo...
And now we have to wait for Iran to respond with fuck no we didn't give him a present.
Maaaan, Iran being the adult voice is freaking me out...
It could very well be that Iran gave Trump a personal present - as in literally put $1b into Trump's bank account.
Trump would accept that. And Iran would happily do that, since it only delegitimizes Trump and America.
Iran: he’s making shit up again. We didn’t offer anything.
No they did, it's just that the gift was a ~~giant wooden~~ bugged golden horse statue
Who is he talking to? Is there some food stall by mar o log that has a middle eastern guy in it?
Christ, this guy is such an asshole. Turning this place into a shithole country so fast....
Turning lol..
Bud it’s been 3 knock off Gucci bags in a trench coat pretending to be a country for 80 years.
The stilts are just starting to break which is why it’s such a fucking mess.
All they have to do is paint something gold and this idiot will accept it.
Call it a peace prize
I'm just still so flabbergasted that this shit is happening. It's all so crazy and stupid it sounds like a really bad movie or something.
It Happened Here.
Actually it's happening everywhere. Australia, UK, Japan. It seems like every time I turn around another country is going right wing.
It Happened Here the worst, but yes, much of the world is following suit. The pedophile billionaires who run the world have influence everywhere.
The Gift:
"As a sign of my respect I want to gift you these genuine Limited Edition ACME golf balls that have been in my family for generations."
It would be funnier as beepers
man how i wish they did.
My guess is there was no gift. He's lying to manipulate the markets.
My bet is there is no gift. This asshole could never refrain from bragging about what he extorted.
Unless, as many have posited here, it is a trojan horse.
Something of immense value that he doesn't want to disclose in public?
Son of a bitch ghoul ass orangeturd received a child harem.
Sorry I don't want to be an ass but, posting screen caps of articles you're looking at can be annoying.
It's better to copy and paste the text you're looking at.
i have an idea and this is a wild one. if someone does a screencap, they can copypaste the text in as alt text, which makes it more accessible to the blind. or they can put a link in (like OP did), which makes it accessible just in general i'd think
At this point, the only way we could get rid of this pedo is by having huge ceremony everyday where he is given a prize or something. Keep him busy talking about himself and give him shinny things to play with. "We present you the Golden Dick mr. trump. Please tell us about how huge your dick is, and compare it to Biden's. We have 8 hours for this. Tomorrow we'll give you the Nobel prize of alternative science,it's a new thing, just for you."
Or you could seize his assets, lock him up and let him rot in a cell.
Maybe rectally insert a pineapple every day.
