âNot because the Hotel provides better accommodations. Not because the Hotel is located conveniently in the heart of D.C. Not because the officials simply like the President, enjoy BLT Prime, prefer the Trump brand, admire the Old Post Office building, or a host of other idiosyncratic reasons,â the brief reads.
Doesnât that give the whole plan away? Foreign governments rent space at a Trump hotel not because of objective factors but because they like the President and want him to like them.
FFS. Theyâve been flocking to that damn hotel and they donât scruple to hide why, theyâre on record saying itâs to curry favor. Itâs not because they prefer his overpriced steakhouse to the overpriced steakhouse in a different part of town.
Wait.
When we no longer have the pleasure of Trump being our President, he will have to declare his 5th bankruptcy.
It wouldnât matter if his hotel were flawless and the only other option were a Motel 6. Nobody can know why guests are choosing to stay at his hotel, so he is undermining the independence of the executive office.
Clearly this stupid, orange clod had his fingers crossed behind him with his other (small) hand when he was sworn in and took the oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
You might as well put a box on your desk labeled âPlace bribes hereâ and say you donât know why people put money in it, nobody can prove it isnât because theyâre tired from carrying so much money around. Itâs absurd.
idk but it seems to me that the difficulty of determining why a foreign official would give the president money is kind of why you might decide he should not receive any money from foreign officials.
Hey Trump lawyers: thereâs no intent element in the Emoluments Clause. It doesnât matter why foreign sovereigns funnel money to Trump; it matters that they do.
In one respect, this presidency has been like having to sit in one, long time-share dog and pony show. Personally, I am ready to divest this president and look for something better.
âthere are many reasons why foreign governments and lobbyists would want to stay at his hotelâ
Free incontinent Russian hookers!
America born-and-raised cockroaches! (none of those Democrat Party illegal alien cockroaches!)
All the free gold spray paint you can huff!
Trump Tower Taco Bowls, bitchez!!!
Basically they want to argue you need proof of a quid pro quo in order to allow discovery so we can determine whether their was a quid pro quo.?
If you have to go back to George Washingtonâs presidency to make your case, or cite the sale of an individual book of Obamaâs, itâs obvious your case doesnât withstand scrutiny, or that you donât know enough to be ashamed of your position. Probably both.
Are these lawyers the best Trump can afford?
Really??
Trumpâs 7th bankruptcy coming, not 5th. His first bailout was by Rothschild Inc. in 1982 with $1.5 billion to save him from a devastating NY bankruptcy. Theyâve owned him ever since, which is why Rothschild planted their babysitter evil Wilbur Ross (worked for Rothschild Inc. for years) as Sec. of Commerce (read: oil and gas), to make sure he takes every countryâs oil on earth.
We keep seeing these polls trying to nail down Americaâs approval/disapproval of trump.
Heâs OUR employee- we hired (elected) him to be the CEO of USA,Inc.
We see 60% disapproval, 30% approval. How about some actual, concrete means of judging his performance as an employee. Courtesy the Univ. of Oregonâs HR Department, a portion of their âEmployee Evaluationâ form.
Needless to say, UO would never have hired him
what is BLT prime? Is that just an expensive BLT?
âThe Court canât tell you your hotels are great. Really, it canât.â
Itâs an overcooked Salisbury steak.
I didnât pay him the cash to select my bid, I paid him the cash because I liked him for being the kind of person who would select my bid if I paid him the cash.
