I’m leaning towards straight up grift. Once he gets the money, he’s not giving anything in return. ---

No, you will get a ticket. Not the event. Just a ticket. ---

Then why push for foreign parties? I mean, the grift is absolutely the thing but he’s also offering up these as a means of laundering money for the unsavory foreign types he consorts with. More grift that way. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > I’m leaning towards straight up grift. Once he gets the money, he’s not giving anything in return. I mean, I did include pictures of Trump posing with foreign nationals from the last time he did this. It’s still a grift, but he’s holding up his end of the scam. $10k gets you a face to face with Trump, some worthless NFTs, and dinner in a gaudy AF ballroom with top secret documents in the restroom. ---

> [@Wolf333](#): > > He owns a shell company with a campaign donor who was convicted of using his political office personal gain. > > Nothing shady about that. Any Republican who hasn’t yet learned that they can crime all they want and never be held accountable is probably in a coma. All the rest of them know it. As SunUp said, it used to be that GOP crime-doers feared being held accountable because their voters might hear of their crimes. Now they know there’s no chance of that happening. GOP voters know NEVER to listen to anything but Fox and talk-radio. ---
