    Don't you think that costs would drop and care would improve if the government got out of the mainstream healthcare business and only managed Medicaid and Medicare?

    In the Tit for Tat World of Trump. Bribes go a long way.

    See what giving Trump an Israel Peace Award and promises of first dibs for a Trump resort on the Gaza Strip gets them?

    See what Boeing donating a million dollars to Trump's campaign gets them? Billions!

    Suck it up buttercups. Get to the back of the line. Billionaires, Big Donors, Trump Company Investors, and Big Bribers First!

    You claim, without evidence, that Trump is taking bribes in return for favors. However, you never complain about Democrats engaging in corruption. Why is that? Is it because you don't believe that Democrats engage in corruption?

    Sincere question but do you think its okay for the President to be given a gold Rolex from Switzerland in exchange for tariff relief? Or do you think its okay for him to get a gold bar? How about UAE buying up his crypto meme coin thats worthless? How about Qatar giving him a 767 jet engine airplane ?

    All of those things are property of the US Government. He doesn't get to keep them for himself.

    My impression of leftists is that they have no problem with monolithic crime and corruption by Democrats, government officials, illegal immigrants, and Somali "refugees". And the reason that I have that impression is because, every time a leftist is accused of engaging in corruption, you and those like you change the topic to Trump.

    I've already criticized Trump and Don Jr. for his involvement with a drone company doing business with the DOD. Why don't you folks EVER criticize a leftist for their financial dealings?

    Again why do you keep lying my dude. The white house lawyer and press secretary both confirmed all gifts given to Trump will be stored at his presidential library. "The White House said Trump accepted the gifts on behalf of his presidential library,"

    His "presidential library" is NOT government property. His library will be marlargo. I hope you wake up to reality that Trump is the most corrupt president in American history

    Why do you call me a liar? Why are you so hateful?

    Google AI:
    Most presidential gifts, especially official ones from foreign dignitaries or valuable domestic gifts, are transferred to the National Archives and ultimately displayed in the President's future library museum as part of the public record, though Presidents can sometimes keep or purchase items. Gifts range from art to handmade items, and while some personal gifts go to family, most significant items are preserved for public access and historical exhibits at Presidential Libraries, which are managed by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

    Yes that is what theyre supposed to do. Thank you for making my point and laying out the law why whats Trump is so wrong. His Whitehouse isnt denying that its going to his presidential library. His library can be anywhere he wants aka his living room. Its a sham.

    Ask yourself sincerely as a Christian if you would be okay with Obama being a gifted a 767 or a gold Rolex for his "library" if you'd be okay with it.

    Presidents are supposed to be public servants. They serve the people. They have no business being gifted Rolex or 767 jet engine airplanes

    Presidents have been gifted things for many years. To my knowledge, none have personally benefited from those gifts. I've never heard of a U.S. president doing favors in exchange for gifts that are PUBLICLY given and which are then put on display or put in storage.

    Do you believe that Barack Obama was corrupt for accepting gifts?

    Google AI:

    During his time in office, Barack Obama and his family received thousands of gifts, ranging from a gem-encrusted horse sculpture worth nearly $523,000 to a pair of Dutch bicycles. By law, nearly all official gifts were turned over to the U.S. government and are held by the Barack Obama Presidential Library as part of the National Archives collection.

    Was it corruption when Bill Clinton accepted $600K from the Russians in return for a 20-minute speech in Moscow while Hillary was Secretary of State and her approval was required in order for the sale of the company Uranium One to go through to the Russians?
