My friend, even if this is the way to handle Trump, it's not okay for anyone. Imagine other leaders could be as easily bought. There's a reason we don't want bribery in politics.

We already had bribery in politics, the media just doesn't talk about it like they do with Trump and other particularly egregious 'fall guys' like Clarence Thomas.

I know that we have it, but I also know that I don't want it. Besides that there's a difference between 5,000 in an interest group cash bribe and a 400 million plane.

Edit: Sorry, I was referring to the wrong bribe. I meant the Trump Tower that will probably cost an awful lot as well.

Does the amount really matter if the effect is the same?
