  DOES ANYONE REALLY BELIEVE THE MONEY WAS PAID BACK? At a press conference yesterday Donald Trump confirmed that a Russian billionaire- and close friends with Putinp- paid for Don Junior’s wedding. But then Trump added that Don JR has since repaid the mone. Your Thoughts?

  NEW: On social media and in tabloids, photos from Don Jr. and Bettina Trump’s Bahamas wedding were tightly curated. But sometimes, what — or, who — isn’t pictured is just as important as what is. Let’s go on an investigative, visual tour.

  The convicted felon who told you he has a healthcare plan and will give you $5000 and didn’t rape E Jean Carroll and won the 2020 election and COVID is a hoax and was at the towers on 9/11 wants you to know his son paid the emolument back. https://www. washingtonpost.com/politics/20 26/09/18/trump-says-son-has-paid-back-russian-wedding-party/

  Apparently in his first term there was some evidence of his not taking a salary; or perhaps donating it… but c’mon, the guys a conman, of course he's gonna roll with that “I don’t need the salary, I’m already rich” when the big-grift is netting him billions in insider stock trades, fleecing the nation, accepting jets and gifts, backroom deals. Any…

  What set 34-felon off attacking the media? I suspect his ego couldn't take the questions about this piece from @propublica.org. (Yes, Russia, Russia, Russia... again!) 😂😂😂

  Day after day, year after year we get these headlines making a statement, with “Trump says” at the end. Makes it sound like a factual statement if you’re not actually paying attention. I call BS on this statement being factual and this way of writing headlines. And if he reimbursed him, it was only after public found out and the I’ll do you a…

  So the US lifted sanctions on Russian oil in March, and the wedding paid for by a Putin ally was just two months later. I wonder when the money was actually transferred for the wedding.

  C'mon man, he was just a little short on cash at the time and a Russia oligarch just happened to walk by and offer to him a loan with a 60-day repayment period. Happens all the time!

  It’s not the paying back but the fact he thought it acceptable to receive the “gift.” Very poor judgement and totally deaf to the moment in the world. Privilege is a disease of some.

  I’m not sure why they are even making an appearance of walking it back. Crime is legal and corruption is blatant. There are no consequences for them.

  So neither trump not his son could pay for the wedding or parties? Even with all the winning? Why was the involvement needed to begin with?

  Daily Show joke about this. These creeps have the money to pay themselves, they just took the bribe for the love of the game.

  Its amazing when you are the nepo baby of a billionaire and you still have a "friend" pay for your wedding party?

  trump also says that the Constitution "totally allows" him to accept a $400m gift plane from a foreign prince.

  I mean, trading government secrets or granting a shady contract or two is definitely a form of repayment

  Yeah totally normal to have your wedding party paid for, by daddy. And Russia is the really daddy.

  With Saudi money? With Israeli arms money? With taxpayer money? Where is he stealing it from

  This needs to be found on a stolen laptop hardware, not through the news media. Obviously.
