Donald Trump says he donated to Democrats because he was buying their favors.
This is what corruption looks like.
In order for their to be a bribe, their has to be a politician to grant the favor in exchange for money and a favor-seeker willing to pay the bribe. Donald Trump was a vital part of the corrupt machine.
The statement that he was corrupt in a corrupt system starts with the admission that he was corrupt. Lots of businessmen are out their doing well and making profits without buying off every corrupt politician in Washington.

I can tell by this comment that you haven’t been involved in any major development projects in states like New York, Florida, Nevada or California. You would know better than to make that statement. The corruption does not start with the developer, who would much rather play above board, it’s far cheaper. The corruption starts with the political system that requires pay to play up and down the local, state and political hierarchy for the plethora of permits and approvals that the various levels of government require before you can even begin putting pen to paper to cost it out.
This is our government’s system - not the wish of businessmen, who need to make a project pencil out. If you want to do business at any level above a storefront in a strip mall, you will pay off politicians at some level of government. It’s a nasty system.
Donald Trump says he donated to Democrats because he was buying their favors...The cost of doing business. HO Hum
LOLOL. All big businesses have to pay protection money. Can you name one that isnt?
