PRESIDENT Trump: "Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.”

That's not Mob Boss talk at all. Not even a little bit. No sir. No Mob Boss talk at all.

Come on Democratic POLITICIANS, go after Republicans/Republican business owners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



 
He's extorting ABC - clearly.
ABC would have won that case in court. So would CBS. "You can't rape the willing" is an old saying. It can become just a method for political contributions. "Why, it's not a political contribution, it's a lawsuit settlement!"

Who is that doofus again? That opinionated idiot living in socialmediaville?
Oh yeah, he's the President of the United States! Imagine that? That dimwit posting on the internet at all hours of the day and night is the President of the United States!
Does the USA even exist anymore in the real world or has it morphed into a virtual-reality fiction platform being written in a random exercise by AI?
 
“The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!” “I think we’re going to test ABC out on this.”

And yet his cult insisted over and over that he had no hand in any of it, that it was all solely an ABC business decision.

Once again it’s the mad king himself who makes bigger fools out of his apologists than anyone else ever could.
 
Exactly why MAGA is nothing but a cult.
 
So can we go back to the part where the orange felon admitted that his regime was involved in getting Jimmy Kimmel fired for exercising free speech and that he plans on trying to get him fired again for the same reason by suing ABC?
 
The Republican Party is responsible for the dimwit!

They also gave him Congress and the Supreme Court.

Hence, the chaos.

And you watch- if the Democrats take the House in the mid-terms Trump will suddenly remember that building The Wall is an urgent priority, a national emergency, now that it's the Democrats job to give "attention to this matter"!
Hence, the chaos.

It is rather funny how Trump is collecting large sums of money from the left for his presidential library while those very same people won't give Biden a dime for his.

Hopefully they will learn not to try and placate an extortionist.

And that other media companies are paying notice.

Trump extorting people is nothing new.

That's exactly the way our Founders wanted it.

I think you kind of missed my point. Sometimes it's 'placating extortion'. Other times it's making illegal political donations laundering them as lawsuit settlements. Who says they mind the $16 million payment - it's letting them get away with murder buying the government off to approve huge mergers that perhaps wouldn't be approved by an honest government. It's like saying a drug cartel paying off police for immunity is being extorted.
 
Extortion from the point of view of when does it stop?
 

And the most they're brave enough to say is "thank you sir, may I have another?"

You seem to be missing the gutting of anti-trust law which harms the public, that it might be more bribery than extortion.

You can only "extort" people who have done something wrong. Are you now admitting that these places did indeed do something wrong where they could be "extorted"?
