it seems Iran is getting a bundle of billions, as well... laundered through other ME countries. In fact, it sounded to me like trump was buying his way out of the war he started. Too bad we all will have to pay that cost as well as all the other costs he threw into a war of his own design. Between what he and Bush have done in the ME, we'll never be done paying for it.

He's using the presidency to grift millions for himself and his family, yet thinks nothing of draining the U.S. Treasury of taxpayers' dollars with no oversight!

it's not just to take as much as he can for himself and his friends... its worse than that. He means to bankrupt the nation completely so we fall apart as a country. And then another country... say Russia... can walk in and annex the country, its people, and loot the remaining treasures of the country. I think this was Putin's grand plan from the very beginning when he enticed trump with $$$ to become a russian asset against us.

If only he was removed after either of his unprecedented two impeachments. It does, however, look like the Democrats are going to retake the House and maybe even the Senate. But that gives him another half a year to loot the Treasury and commit whatever additional crimes that he's planning. Vance and his buddies who have been meeting secretly in the Situation Room have now been found out and are being forced to face the music - can that whole criminal gang be impeached??

Who couldn't care less about the country and the people, instead he's using the office to grift as much money as he can...
