I mean, in my mind this is sort of like picking up your friend's pack of gum off the table without asking. Maybe he's okay with it, maybe it isn't actually stealing. Either way, just... go buy a pack of fucking gum, man?

 

[Living the Dream]

Even if Trump was a great person and had zero issues; why would anyone donate money to a billionaire?

 

[Future]

Look guys, he's new at this.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Where are all the dummies that said, "No, all the money he raises now for the campaign is going to help the Republican party as a whole, it isn't going to beings by Trump or his family for private use..." now? What little dupes!

good lets keep him spending all his money on legal fees rather than him using it for his re-election campaign.

Good point but the repubs would just re-up all funds before the next election

It scares me to think of what could have been if trump and his team were actually smart, cunning, and knew how to cover their tracks.

All I see is FAKE NEWS typed about 60 times. You liberals need to drop this conspiracy and focus on the real issues, like taking away healthcare from the poor so the wealthy can further line their pockets.

Seriously though it's crazy to see it all typed out like that.

Caputo says Jr's involvement shows experience to the political world.

“Donald Junior made a mistake,” former Trump adviser Michael Caputo, said, “and he’d do it entirely differently if he had an opportunity.”

Asked if the meeting should have raised red flags, given that Russian government connections were implied in the emails setting it up, Caputo said “for an experienced campaign operative? Yeah, it should have raised a red flag. For a family member, for a first-time candidate for president of the United States in a whirlwind like we were in? I’m not surprised.”

He said it wasn’t unusual for members of the campaign to have unplanned meetings, saying, “the place was pell-mell.”
Instead of showing evidence of collusion between Trump campaign officials and Russia, Caputo said Trump Jr.’s involvement “shows more the naiveté of his first experience in a political campaign."

 

[Wensih]

For the bargain price of $100,000, I am ready to give Don Jr. my professional advice: stop tweeting, fuckface.

Please don't listen to this man. All Trumps everywhere, tweet everything that pops into your vacuous heads.

 

[rjinaz]

They are new at this, they didn't know not to meet secretly with Russia in hopes to collude in taking down a political opponent. Like you wouldn't have done the same thing!

Whew.

Yeah but Paul Manafort, a 30 plus year political veteran and "real estate whiz kid, not chinless trust fund son of an incompetent felon" Jared Kushner were there too. And four other people.
