The democrats money launder all the Green Scam money
“former President Donald Trump made an ‘obvious quid pro quo when he allegedly asked for a $1 billion donation from oil executives during a meeting at his Mar-a-Lago resort last month.”
quid pro quo - a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something.
When Hunter Biden peddled his father’s influence, Joe Biden engaged in quid pro quo.
But what Trump did was not quid pro quo. What Trump did was solicit financial support because of his existing and ongoing policies. He is going to enact pro-American policies that will benefit oil companies. Therefore, it only makes sense for these oil companies to help get him elected.
Trump’s policies and decisions are not conditional upon their financial support.
What, like Biden’s threat in Ukraine?
They really need to STFU about any “quid pro co”.
A candidate asked for donations at a fund raiser?!?!
There is no evidence any promises were made beyond Trump’s very public position that he strongly supports developing America’s natural energy resources. He will reduce EPA red tape, open drilling in areas closed off by Biden, and encourage exploration. He will also be a salesman, marketing American energy to overseas customers.
Good grief - lobbyists rule D.C. - just another every day event made illegal when PDJT does it.
OMG, a political campaign asked a special interest group for a donation and promised support for them if elected. WTF, this is something bad id done by the Don or Big Oil. Put them together and it’s criminal. Where’s the AG with an indictment? To be safe, you should just ask the CCP to put your son on the board of a Billion dollar slush fund.
Allegedly asked for a $1 billion donation
^^^^^^^^^
The Ukraine is the DNC/Presidential money laundry. Brandon is on video tape bragging that he withheld foreign aid in exchange for the firing of the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden’s crimes (Burisma’s). I wonder what the sum total of President’s Trump’s legal defense expenses for the countless lawfare suits and threats at this point.
Trump’s energy policy has remained consistent. He understands that increased domestic energy production is good for America. If oil companies also benefit, so be it. It’s not as if he’s promising them to do something that benefits them at the country’s expense.
It’s not a quid pro quo. Trump has been in favor of increased domestic energy production since 2015. He’s simply making the point to energy companies that his policies will benefit the as well as the rest of the country and that it’s to their advantage to support him. That’s the same thing he does to all other interest groups. He asks ordinary Americans to donate to his campaign because he’ll make life better for them by closing the border, cracking down on crime, reducing inflation, etc. No one would think to describe that as a quid pro quo. It’s what politicians do all the time.
The problem comes when politicians change their policies based on who donates to them and who doesn’t - in other words, when they do exactly what Joe Biden does.
He didnt screw them and gas was cheap-
So?
You guys ought to shut up before you open a bigger can of worms for yourselves. It’s amazing how democrats always choose the dumb thing to do.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse a living argument for repeal of the 17th Amendment!
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
State legislatures can’t do worse!
Though I imagine the Rhode Island legislature may try!
