Didn’t ask about the 400M jet from Qatar, so what’s the deal now? Theatrics, knowing full well youre getting nowhere but wasting time from the real issues like EPSTEIN
Bet they’re kicking themselves now. They gave him a fucking plane, and all Switzerland needed to do was give him a watch and a gold bar.
Probably didn’t even need to do that. Suck up to the guy for 10 minutes and tell him how great he is, and he’ll agree to anything.
He’ll even offer you a blowie if you’re manly enough.
Anything for Big Beautiful Bill.
NOW they want answers? Quatar gave him a 400 million dollar airplane (surely bugged) but you’re drawing the line at a 20K Rolex with a gold bar?
Those Quataris really will be face palming now, seeing they could have bribed him so so much cheaper. They gave the ficker and airplane and he still fucked them over anyways
So just to help those corrupt fraudsters a little bit: BRIBING TRUMP DOESNT WORK
He will turn around tomorrow and fuck the Swiss right in the ass again anyway because of course he will, it’s trump, he will have forgotten all about his Rolex by tomorrow and wonder why he’s being so nice with the Swiss
Global extortion racket goes brrrrrr. There will be no recovery until his and his regime are removed from power and jailed, he will not leave by any other process aside from just dying, and even then I wouldn’t put it past the administration to use his image and AI to continue their assault on America.
It’s about time Congress woke the fuck up. The only option here is to impeach - this is textbook corruption that would make Senator Menendez blush.
It’s about time Congress woke the fuck up.
You think they’re not? Every member of the house of representatives, and every senator, knows what’s going on. It’s not that they’re asleep, it’s that they don’t care enough to endanger their own cozy money machine.
When it comes to things like this, all Republicans are asleep at the wheel of with their head placed firmly up their ass. Almost all the time when they’re asked about something he did or says, their answer is “I don’t know, I didn’t see/hear it”
So maybe not physically asleep - but certainly asleep at the wheel.
Oh i’m sure this time they are gonna SLAM him.
He can’t be that cheap. A rolex isn’t all that expensive, considered the money involved in geopolitics. In fact it’s spare change for diplomatic events. And neither is a single gold bar.
But it looks expensive and has a reputation for being expensive. That’s what matters to him. Do you think he can handle actual money?
The conspiracy brain tells me some swiss diplomat pulled these from Trump’s own safety deposit box as a “we have the skeletons from your closet”-statement and handed them to him as a “diplomatic gift” when it actually was just a threat that he caved to.
Surprisingly ‘watch diplomacy’ is as old mechanical artefacts are…some famous examples include the Breguet ‘king Farouk’, some beautiful sets of pocket watches made for the emperor of China, pre revolution of course. Other arteafcts include Faberge’s ‘eggs’ and jewelry that belonged to the Romanov family… All swiss and european gifts of course.
You can now buy the ‘king Farouk’ breguet model, but both faberge’s eggs and the Chinese emperor’s collections are in museums.
he likes anything that is gold, hes pretty shallow.

There are many sizes of gold bar though. A 12.4 kg bar is fairly pricey.
The overall value is estimated in the article, which is pretty expensive yes, but given the reduction of the tarriffs might as well be an investiment
That’s roughly the price of a 1 kg bar.
Some people are reeeally slow in catching on…
They play him like a fiddle.
… Like a ---- DAAAAMMN FIDDLEEEE!!!
Don’t know where that is from but its not a new saying.
100k investment 1000000k payout.

It is corruption. We had capitalism without it.
Did we? When was that?
This open corruption is new. From the post war years to the 70s were the golden years, not perfect, slow regression since then with sudden drop offs, like citizens united, scotus allowing corruption unless absolutely explicit, then electing the gangster king here.
I mean, you know the US actively helped to overthrow democratically elected governments to aid US businesses already back then, right?
Yeah but this kind of corruption was unheard of. Even in the post Civil War era that was super corrupt they wouldn’t take open bribes from foreign leaders like this certainly not before the Civil War either. Obviously from the Spanish-American war on we have had the Empire thing going as Mark Twain predicted all this shit would happen.
Trump’s love of lavish
giftsbribes is well known and many are displayed in the Oval OfficeIs it so hard to call out blatant corruption in front of your face?
I think the world is starting to find out that co-operation is the preferred way forward for the earthly citizens, rather than the current destructive dying beast that is capitalism.
In old country, is called ‘bribe’.
Hey look more naked corruption
only one senator though
Forget it, Jake. It’s Fascist America.
