        Exactly then it’s all very cool and very legal thanks to the US supreme court. Honestly it’s my official duty to collect unnamed sums of cash for favours, how else can a poor President of the most powerful nation on Earth ever survive?

    • Nah, Russia is Trump’s true love. He doesn’t care if China benefits, as long as it weakens the US, because that is what benefits Russia.

      He doesn’t need to make a decision or get a kickback. Russia has already provided for his every need; a massive publicity campaign that is ongoing, unlimited money in the form of crooked bank lending and sweetheart real estate deals. He gets Russian intelligence on whatever might threaten him or enrich him.

      He saw the Russian oligarchy in which a handful of cutthroat dogs control everything and can do whatever they want, and fell in love.
