His taking a bribe from the enemy we’re at war with is the textbook definition of treason.

      Who is he talking to? Is there some food stall by mar o log that has a middle eastern guy in it?

    My bet is there is no gift. This asshole could never refrain from bragging about what he extorted.

    Unless, as many have posited here, it is a trojan horse.

    Something of immense value that he doesn’t want to disclose in public?

    And now we have to wait for Iran to respond with fuck no we didn’t give him a present.

    Maaaan, Iran being the adult voice is freaking me out…

      It could very well be that Iran gave Trump a personal present - as in literally put $1b into Trump’s bank account.

      Trump would accept that. And Iran would happily do that, since it only delegitimizes Trump and America. So it seems surprisingly plausible…

    At this point, the only way we could get rid of this pedo is by having huge ceremony everyday where he is given a prize or something. Keep him busy talking about himself and give him shinny things to play with. “We present you the Golden Dick mr. trump. Please tell us about how huge your dick is, and compare it to Biden’s. We have 8 hours for this. Tomorrow we’ll give you the Nobel prize of alternative science,it’s a new thing, just for you.”

      Or you could seize his assets, lock him up and let him rot in a cell.

      The anticorruption policy where I work requires me to disclose anything more than $50. But I guess there is no morality standard here

      i wonder if there’s a way to psyop him into "get rekt liberal"ing himself to death.

      i’m way too sleep deprived (i need a week of sleep straight, like 170 hours solid sleep) to catch up so my brain starts firing on all cylinders where i could think that shifty, but i’m sure it’s possible

    Is it real though? He said he was dealing with them in the vaguest way possible with no facts about who he was dealing with or what for, and then Iran said they weren’t dealing with him. I’m not sure I would believe anything he says.

      Yeah I think you have the right take. Why the hell else would he be secretive about what it is? He brags his ass off every time someone gives his Nazi ass a gift. Normally with a photo of him with it.

      The whole thing is blatant bullshit.

      The post he made on Truth Social was just market manipulation. There’s a bunch of news stories about it; people made a sudden flurry of big bets on oil futures minutes before the post went up. Iran immediately told everyone the claim was bullshit, no one had tried to talk to them for days. Now he’s being pressed for an explanation and he’s doubling down by making up this lie about Iran sending him a bribe or a peace offering or something. It’s all just lies on lies.

      Yeah I don’t see how it would even be a “textbook definition.” This could have been anything and is purely speculation.

      That said the U.S. defines giving (not receiving) aid or comfort to an enemy of the state as treason… So taking a bribe isn’t giving them comfort. Removing sanctions on Iranian oil the other dayl could be giving them comfort, but that still wouldn’t likely count.

      More than likely if he’s not just talking complete bullshit it means the CIA or someone reported they found a movement somewhere that they think they can give aid to and try to position in a certain way to take power while getting some kind of concessions like oil contracts.

      Which looking at the history of what the CIA/US do with middle eastern countries over oil… Seems most likely.

      Might be, might not be.

      What is real is his desperate need to keep the stock market from crashing - he will say anything to do that.
