Trump Rewarding Loyalists On Impeachment With Reelection Help

President Donald Trump is tapping into his vast fundraising machinery and resources to reward his loyal acolytes who have stood by him on impeachment.

Of course, he isn’t really trying to help anyone other than himself with such efforts. It all makes him feel powerful, and he loves the rallies.

Edit: I suppose it might also be noted that one can only play so much golf, and Fox and Friends is only on once a day.

Hopefully, in the next few months they´ll be enough stuff coming out that a few of his ¨loyalists¨ don´t want him showing up in their districts/states.

“Rewards” with “help”. I think most of the non-loyalists would prefer to keep His Dotardness at arm’s length.

Somehow, “rewards for help” sounds remarkably like “quid pro quo”.

The best way he could help is by stayng a thousand miles away, as the reception he got at the World Series showed.

There will come a time on the 2020 GOPPER campaign trail where this happens:

“Trump? Don’t know him…”

That ‘help’ may not be so welcome when the opposition candidates run night-and-day commercials highlighting the President’s support while undergoing investigation and possible impeachment.

This is where the timing of everything is crucial - these issues need to be in the news with regard to his lawlessness and anyone receiving that support should be highlighted.

It also sounds remarkably like trying to bribe the jurors in his upcoming Senate trial.

Is this considered election bribery or just plain bribery?

If a mobster sitting before a jury in a criminal trial bought one of the jurors a home it would immediately result in a charge of jury tampering.

Trump can offer campaign cash to one of his jurors, to no detriment.

Good. ETTD will have a field day in 2020. As Rick W. would say, it’s just science.

Donald Trump, the Smartest Man on Earth, knows that it’s not a quid pro quo unless the words are spoken in Latin.

Mob Boss and Trump…

Who’s worse?

I’ll go with the mook who can, on a national stage

  • Choose his own Judges
  • Choose his own cops
  • Choose his own newspapers
  • Choose his own way to extort money
  • Choose his own legislators to enact the “laws” he wants

Too many of us still have not fully absorbed the dangers that Trump presents to this country. He is an “outlaw” in more ways than any Mob Boss.
