    So, why should we care?

    “He [Cook] said something that was interesting,” Trump said. “He said they’re using that to run their enterprise, meaning Europe is their enterprise. “I said, ‘That’s a lot… But Tim, I got to get elected first, but I’m not going to let them take advantage of our companies — that won’t, you know, be happening.’”

    suure… but hey, when they don’t pay, I guess its fine to the Orange man, that Cuck won’t be able to sell in Europe, eh?

      “Tim said the EU is an enterprise, so I said; Tim, you’re going to have to pay the service fees if you want to get me into office! That’s how our enterprise works!”

      What a joke, even when Trump is pretending to be, or imagining himself as a defender of democracy he’s actually just expressing class-based corruption and running his politics as a pay-for-play service exclusive to billionaires and their companies.

      I guess Elon Musk paid so much he got to do a VIP on stage appearance. A complete joke, total corruption. So bad he doesn’t even recognise it in what he’s saying.

        Donald Trump realized how easy it is to extort business dorks by promising them something vaguely beneficial in the future for a wad of cash today. And now he’s racking it in as fast as he can make the calls.
