TRUMP SAYS PAY UP: How Campaign Kickbacks Could Turn U.S. into Russian-Style Oligarchy | THE WARNING

The Trump campaign sent a letter to other GOP candidates across America: If you want to use President Donald Trump's name, you should pay up. This strategy is not unlike how John Gotti and mob bosses receive kick backs from people beneath them. But in American politics, this could lead to Russian-style oligarchy and straight-up corruption. Steve Schmidt explains the latest grift of campaign gangsterism.

Trump is a total ganster, please America don't vote him back in.

[Bob-lhmg]

Just like Chris Christie had said, “the grifting from the trump family is breathtaking”

[handmadehearts]

Steve is fabulous. I choose DEMOCRACY and not autocracy. I choose FREEDOM and not dictatorship. I vote 🗳 BLUE to end trumpism.

I too grew up in New Jersey. I tried to warn people about Trump. It all fell on deaf ears. I new Trump (long before Apprentice) in ways alot of people didn't.

[markplank]

This must & will end- I do have faith in the American people that the majority will crush this into oblivion with their votes!

[SanDiegoFarmGal]

Long been time for this charade to be over. Shame on Garland for dragging his feet with bringing the top down.

I grew up on Long Island, my father was an investment banker who worked in NYC, took the LIRR in daily. He called Trump a "buffoon"...meaning he wasn't worth taking seriously. Ever. I watched only 10 minutes of an episode of the Apprentice, enough to know Trump was loathsome. 10 minutes was enough to see how he treated others. Currently, there are some members of my family who adore Trump and embrace Trumpism / MAGA. I can't understand it. Because I was raised to believe in the rule of law, of democracy and freedom. Of Truth. Trump has dishonored this country and defiled its laws. It's time he faces the consequences of his actions - prison.

Trump was just as infamous in the Boston area, where I grew up. I've realized what he was since the late 70's, when I was 18 years old. Anybody that full of himself is inherently an ass.

FIVE PERCENT TO THE BIG GUY??? The irony kills.

Every accusation is a confession.

[lorrainescandia]

Steve, you are so on point. I grew up 3 miles away from where Trump lived in Jamaica Estates. I sure wasn't going to vote for him what a con man and a loser, 🤮🤮

[MapleTreeatdawn]

I got the Art of the Deal, and had his board game. I didn’t vote Trump in 2020. He can’t be reelected.

I remember first learning about Trump's existence around the time he was cheating on his first wife with his pregnant soon to be second wife in the National Enquirer. It was on a table in my orthodontist's office in the late 1980's. I remember thinking to myself two things: 1) what a loser and 2) who in their right mind would agree to intimacy with HIM???

[edvivarttas]

He should be indicted for wire fraud.
With this 5 or 6 websites But I'm glad he's bank rupting the R.N.C

[Anita-nn]

Excellent podcast, Mr.Steve. Let’s re-elect Biden-Harris, and remove the broken 💔 Republicans. 💙🧘🏼‍♂️

[maximillianvermontsuperbik]

Steve nails this one, beyond belief ! Well Done ! A master piece !

[LouisBackover]

Yup. Ripped me off for $14k in the 90s I was a small business print shop with an Atlantic City casino control commission vendors license. I did work for all the casinos. Trump was the only one that stiffed me. A lot of money to a small business in the 90s. I know the guy who made the fiberglass gold building peak forms that look Arabian-style for the Taj Mahal. Trump stuck him for $150k.

Today is the 249th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride. You, sir, are a modern day Paul Revere.

[edwardmille]

2016 I knew we were in deep s*** so I moved to Columbia watching you from a mountaintop in peace

[emsleywyatt]

The difference between trump and a mob boss is the size of his mob.

[patrisshajones]

Poor People if you. Do not want the Oligarchy to tell. You what you can and can't do. Remember to Vote Blue in November.
