If that was what Donald Trump was doing, then he was committing a felony. Bribery and extortion are both felonies.
Maybe he gave to the Clintons because he agreed with their politics. Did that ever cross your mind?
But instead you decide that bribing public officials is OK as long as it is Donald Trump that is doing it.
It’s not a bribe. It’s how the system works. Money gets you influence.
“that was what Donald Trump was doing, then he was committing a felony. Bribery and extortion are both felonies.”
You appear to know nothing about doing business in the real world or how the political system works in real life.
Almost all businesses have money extorted from them by politicians. It is part of the cost of doing business in the U.S.
It is done in the form of cash bribes in some cases. More often it is the requirement that businessmen make political donations to candidates. Look at all of the large corporations in the U.S. They all are pressured to make political contributions.
Developers like Trump are particularly vulnerable to political extortion because politicians and elected officials have the power to shut down their projects and cost them enormous amounts of money.
Trump builds things. Politicians extort money from those who build things.
