1. I guess the emoluments clause for presidents is dead for him

[Wounded Bear]

4. USSC killed that in his first term...

[Karasu]

15. Very early on, in fact. The GOP Congress waived it immediately just so he could hold office.

25. To him? Never existed.

The Constitution is only important to him for suing his perceived enemies. That's it.

Just like the Bible he profits from, he never reads the Constitution. Boring. Doesn't understand a sentence.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

2. Who is surprised by this?

[Wounded Bear]

5. Anybody who is surprised has not been paying attention...nt

[Lovie777]

3. Guess who's stealing taxpayers money.......

[OGBuzz]

6. I wonder how much Paramount+ is paying for this shit. Then again

it's all irrelevant because Larry and David Ellison own Paramount and this becomes all about securing billions in government contracts for Oracle.

7. When referring to any $$$$ stolen by Trmp, please add the phrase "as adjudicated by the Roberts Court".

[Miles Archer]

8. I probably call out Roberts several times a week here, at minimum, but yes...

...I think Trump II would have been dramatically different without his "benediction.""

[some_of_us_are_sane]

9. This presidency

has been the GREATEST GRIFT of all time!

[Celerity]

11. GRIFT

[some_of_us_are_sane]

12. THANKS!

I was paddling my exercise thing and propping my Fire when I typed this.

[Celerity]

14. All good! I assumed you were just being sarcastic with GIFT

[mwmisses4289]

10. 😱😱 I'm shocked, I tells ya, just shocked by this revelation!

Ha! Not! Not one little teeny tiny bit. I figured as soon as i heard about it he was going to try to take a cut.

[Miles Archer]

13. Yeah, I especially love the "PART OF the proceeds" part

It's safe to say that Trump doesn't express enthusiasm about ANYTHING unless he's receiving something substantial in return.

And, he's a guy who "took a taste" from his own charities, so none of this is unexpected.

[Diraven]

16. So they're ordering troops to pay their own way

And then Trump himself keeps their ticket money? Sickening levels of corruption.

[ColoringFool]

17. And Now He Will Pay Himself For Replacing The Line-Up.

[JT45242]

18. Since UFC is front for Russian oligarchs, Putin is bribing the felon on live tv

This congress has failed us

[niyad]

20. Did not know that. .but then, I don't pay attention to most of the

crap that passes for "sports" or "entertainment" these days.

[allegorical oracle]

27. Yep -- especially hate "head bashing" offered as entertainment. FWIW, read a couple

days ago that Dana White is concerned about the outdoor venue -- too many gnats outdoors that can get in a fighter's mouth and eyes. He literally said that's why he doesn't generally accept outdoor sites for competitions. Uck.

[niyad]

28. A very interesting point. DC was built on a swamp, if I remember correctly.

[Figarosmom]

19. Gee, I thought he said it was all free to the public!😊

[h2ebits]

21. Here's the article. The entire 250th anniversary of our country has been grifted 6-ways to Sunday.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/exorbitant-cost-of-partner-investment-revealed-for-ufc-white-house-event/ar-AA22Dxas

The "partner investment" -- the cost to attend is mind boggling -- $1.5 Million!!!!!

[Miles Archer]

24. Thank you for posting it...

...part of me "wants to know" and part of me doesn't, but I'm one of those people who takes a deep breath and dives in, because we can never turn a blind eye to what Trump and his cronies are getting away with.

[h2ebits]

26. I entirely agree.

I find that it's truly difficult to keep up with all of the crap that is going on. My brain has retention issues because there is so much, so much, to remember and to figure out all of the devious ways that we are being manipulated and ripped off.

The DU community is a wonderful resource and repository for me of all that is swirling around.

Thank you so much for your efforts.

[struggle4progress]

22. Hillary Clinton? Barack Obama? Joe Biden?

Such a tricky question

[struggle4progress]

23. Maybe Donny will sing Worried Man Blues for us

[W_HAMILTON]

29. I sure wish that segment on the left that refused to vote for Hillary and Kamala...

...hated this purported billionaire as much as they claim to hate all the others...
