Nothing like going to mar a lago and eating a 1 million dollar dinner. We need laws against this type of corruption

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

The only people capable of applying such laws are the very same corrupt people you want to have subject to such laws.

How is this not massive news?

Faux News had to jump through 100 hoops and do all sorts of gymnastics to connect Biden to some Ukraine business to claim he was corrupt and every fucking Magoo knows the Hunter Biden laptop... Trump just straight up says "PAY MY RESORT $1 MILLION" and then changes policy in your favor and that's not corrupt?

Least corrupt president in US history.

He’s draining the swamp with a pump and dump!

They’re going to be light years ahead of us at making pregnant Sonic images.

[–] pixxelkick@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

This genuinely made me do an IRL spit take, holy shit.

$1 million-a-head dinner

I can't even imagine what that would look like. Surely the ingredients can't be that expensive? And while cooks and staff probably are paid very well, are they gonna spend so much time on a single dinner to warrant that price?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 47 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The actual food and service is probably only maybe a couple hundred to a couple thousand/plate

The rest of the price is the "donation". The tactic itself is not bad, many charities and fundraisers do the same thing, charge a hundred or 2 (if it's an event for us pleebs) per person for food and the event and the rest is your donation.

What the donation is for is the problem here

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 13 points 2 days ago

Absolutely not, we're talking about a man who serves fast food to athletes.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I’m betting it’s more like a fundraising dinner — you’re not paying that price just because of the food

[–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Salt Bae was the chef

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The US is a dirty little removed.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Pay to play. Trump is full blown criminal now. This is only going to get worse unless something stops it.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

Now? He's been since the 80's

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

We just need a big ol name tag thing... "The golf of Trump" or Trump city USA man!

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 57 points 2 days ago

TL;DR Bully got Bribed.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So do you think there will be any consequences for these businesses just outright buying US policy after Trump?

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

Yes, there will be consequences. Things will get better for those businesses!

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

How could there be?

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 19 points 2 days ago

I bet it was the jacket that sealed the deal

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

How can people support such corruption…

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Oh wow, what are the odds?

It H2O so hydroponic produce grow anywhere

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

nvidia hydroponic tech grows chips 20% faster, bigger, and juicier

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

High-end chips? I'm guessing TSMC in Taiwan.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I think some of the memory chips might come from SK or Japan, not sure tho

[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Hell.

Wait they renamed that place.

Earth, I think.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

banning exports and then waging war over them not importing enough and then unbanning the exports and then saying thanks and then posting something edgy on social media

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 4 points 2 days ago

That's a good investment Jensen.

[–] socialmedia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Imagine not being aware how pathetic you look when someone bribes you. What's that dinner like? Rich people always worry about their status. Who's more important, who has the most money? Trump sitting down to dicuss this for a million dollars. A million dollars is so cheap to them. They must be laughing on the way home at how easy it is to manipulate him.
