I work for a major American aerospace firm, and we can’t give gifts worth more than $20 to any government agent ... might be seen as an attempt to buy favor.
Soooooo when a President, hypothetically, gets $1 million or so, for things he hasn’t yet done but is considering maybe doing, from a foreign entity who may wish to sway his actions ... that’s just peachy?
That seems like a bribe to me.
