Here’s all the proof you need to confirm the US paid the money and, more than likely, threw in a few cases of Kim’s favorite Hennessy scotch and Cristal champagne.

One thing about Dotard, he’s consistent. A true deadbeat…

I prefer Josh’s take…

This may be the first instance where President Trump’s experience dealing with contractors in real estate development projects came in handy in international relations.

True, but if I’m not mistaken, most contractor’s aren’t rogue nations with nuclear weapons.

Ok, maybe a couple in New Jersey…

Congratulations all! We’ve all been dishonorably inducted, against our will, into the Trump Organization’s approach to business deals…now on an official and international scale. And further down into disgrace we go.

Just like Trump’s contractors, I guess it’ll teach the next authoritarian thug that tries to do a deal with Trump to get the money up front. Just unreal.

For sure. If Bolton said the sky is blue I’d begin to wonder if it really is.

All I can say to the next hostage is get used to it because you’re going to be there a while. :frowning:

Imagine an administration that is so hopelessly fucked up that abrogating written or verbal agreements is construed as a good thing in international relations…and there are numerous documented instances of this behavior…maybe the queen will give him a swift kick in the balls when he hits London next month…

Yep, Otto was just a transactional deal. And we know how Trump views paying for anything.

And yet Iran’s foreign minister Zarif has claimed that they want to discuss swapping American prisoners for Iranians we hold. And no one from this administration will talk to them. Funny how the guy with nukes gets a promise of money and the guys supposedly with nukes can’t get a meeting.

I’m thinking she’ll use the purse first. Who knows what she carries in there.
