I fuked up and mistook Trump for these guys, but he is selling bibles for $60, so there is that.Originally Posted by Wait, it's actually Obama, Biden and Clinton
(And, I'm not entirely sure which is worse. One is taking very obvious bribes, another is grifting old people. Not really a fan of either)

Trump to charge $100,000 to $500,000 to have picture taken with him

Trumps doesn't need it - he has Jack smith, James, and Willis doing it for free.
Op as far as the Bible goes - I don't see that grifting old people at all. For the types is families that use books like he's selling (family reading hour, etc) it's a fair price for a 1 stop shop family reading stuff - constitution, king James, bill of rights, etc.
He's mainly doing it as helping promote for Lee Greenwood.Intelligent individuals learn from every thing and every one; average people, from their experiences. The stupid already have all the answers.

One is a political fundraiser, and obvious overt corruption (nobody is paying $500K because they just want a picture) while blatantly circumventing donation laws...

Not sure why it's always a game to play pretend when "your side" does things that are wrong and immoral.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Unless I also get a coupon for two free nights in the Jungle Room then count me out.
Should a couple spend $100,000 at this event, they would receive “priority seating” and a picture with the former president. A sum of $250,000 gets a private dinner with Trump, a picture, and “VIP seating.” The first ten to purchase will also get a two-night stay at Mar-a-Lago.

Touche'
Trump appears to be worse in this, then. Not only has he also done the absurd $250K 'dinners', he's also peddling overpriced Bibles. So, until Biden strikes a deal with Blue Bell (or, more likely Ben and Jerry) to sell a carton of ice cream for $35, Trump is a bit worse off in this exchange.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

This one flew right over your head.. I didn't set this precedent, the left did by constantly crying about Trump's business/donations/etc. I dont and didnt care when anyone did this.
Perfect example of the problem with the left, they set loony precedents and then cry when their new standard is to be upheld for them as well.USMC 0311

It didn't fly over my head. We don't have to speculate how NYPat and Kingfabian would react if Trump did this, because it be like it do and Trump did do dis.
So if we want to criticize those two specific posters for some reason we can just pull up the thread when Trump did it and then compare it to their posts in this thread.
