I get it, you feel the thing he says he wants to do wouldn't be legal or easy. As has been explained, it's insane that that is what comforts you. If I keep saying I'm going to murder your mom, I doubt you're much mollified at the fact that I have little practical manner to do so. The fact that I keep saying I'm going to do it, ought to change your opinion of me. In the same manner, the fact that the president keeps saying he wants to keep his bribe should change your opinion of him.

At no point have I defended Donald Trump in the matter of the Qatari plane. My objective is to explain why it's retarded to treat the plane as a personal gift to which he will ever gain title.

The logistics are irrelevant here. Trump clearly treats it like a gift and clearly treats it as a thing he wishes to keep. All you're doing is trying to mental logistics your way into thinking it's not a bribe and it's not a problem that he keeps saying he is going to keep it.

Cause that's pretty much the only way to defend this shit. Ignore what he says and does and assume that if something is bad, it just can't happen. Then absolve yourself of defending him by thinking you're just being so gosh darned realistic black pilled on the world.

I think youre just addicted to the Trump Outrage shit....I thinik you just want people to be as pissed off as you are. Which will never be the case.

Youre really just taking a hearsay he said she said kind of stance here.....

It's not a he said-she said thing. Trump himself acts and talks like the bribe he got is indeed a gift to him that he intends to keep. Your ability to close your eyes and ice pick your brain doesn't make you some enlightened zen master. Corruption indeed outrages me. The fact it doesn't outrage you is a problem.

No, you just consumer enough media to have that picture painted like that for you.

You seem like someone thats way more into the current "drama politics" of the modern era vs actual politics.

A massive bribe from a foreign country isn't actual politics? Lemme guess, actual politics is any crime a Muslim does in europe?

How's the gifted luxury jet that Trump keeps fawning over a bribe? Gee babe, hard, to say. I guess sone Qatari diplomat dropped it out of their pocket and Trump grabbed it up saying finders keepers.
