If You Were Rich and Wanted to Bribe to POTUS for Favors, Would You Give $$$ to Trump?

Right now? While he is under threat of impeachment. And may be forced to pull a Tricky Dick---resign and have his VP pardon him?

Hell no! That means that Jared is going to have a hell of a time collecting money except for things that Trump can do unilaterally right now. So, he will still be able to collect bribes for pardons. He can still sell cabinet positions to industry insiders. He can sell ambassadorships. He can sell federal bench seats--by making them recess appointments.

I predict a whole lot of turn over. Trump will force out people so that he can sell their jobs to the highest bidder. A lot of felons will go free. A lot of federal contracts will be awarded.

But those who want to invest in a politician for long term gain will save their money.

Trump will, up to the moment he resigns (which I think he will), solicit $ from his non-rich cultists who think they should sacrifice their vacation fund to give a supposed billionaire more money.
