To be fair, that happened after leaving office
To be fair, if one of Obama's relatives got a 2 billion dollar check from a foreign country after he left office, it would still be a big story.
A tan suit was considered a "big story"
If that had happened, there would have been a republican countrywide manhunt to execute him.
Forget the tan suit, those fuckers freaked out about using a different type of mustard.
A much better type of mustard too. What kind of adult chooses to eat yellow mustard?
The same ones who voted twice for Donald Trump and who will vote for him again this November. Won't catch them using no fancy mustard.
Don't forget "saluting with a cup in his left hand"... which is something everyone in the military does daily.
No worries about trump saluting Kim
Forget the tan suit, those fuckers freaked out about using a different type of mustard.
No need to defend Jared. He got several huge loans while was Trump in office.
Here's a link to one of them: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sec-drops-probe-after-company-gives-loan-to-jared-kushners-family-firm/
To be even fairer, so did most of the things they're accusing Hunter Biden of even though he never even worked for his father.
Completely unrelated to Trump stealing classified nuclear data the Saudis were willing to pay billions to get their hands on.
So did any selling off of stolen classified material
I could swear that I was hearing about this deal while Trump was president... Its paywalled so I didn't look at the article, but maybe the deal was made prior to him leaving and the payment came later?
yeah, he got paid for all the work he did while they were in office
Plus I don’t think it’s his money, it’s just money he manages for a fee. The fee would be good on that sort of money I’m sure
When was hog king hunter in office?
