It is rather astounding that actually somewhat accomplished men like Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick can be such fucking toadies.

The Elmos and Bannons and Millers are no real surprise, and the accomplished men of Trump v.1 pretty much are all on record that he's an abject moron and unfit for office.

I think this tells you something about billionaires.

Whoa, this is hard to believe...@@

Swiss prosecutors have been urged to open a criminal bribery investigation into executives including the boss of Rolex after they lavished gifts on Donald Trump while lobbying him to cut tariffs.

In Switzerland, a group of Left-wing politicians have written to the country’s federal prosecutor’s office about a meeting in the Oval Office on Nov 4.

At the meeting, up to half a dozen Swiss businesspeople gave the US president a Rolex table clock and a 1kg gold bar engraved with his name.

A week after the meeting, Mr Trump announced he would lower his punitive US tariff rate on Switzerland from 39pc to the EU level of 15pc.

Raphaël Mahaim, a Green Party MP, said in his letter to prosecutors that the gifts could be worth tens of thousands of Swiss francs, which would “exceed the scope of a minor benefit, in accordance with social custom”.

“The average person rightly questions the legality of these gifts offered to the American president in order to obtain his unblocking of a trade negotiation file,” Mr Mahaim’s letter said.

“We question the compatibility of these gifts with Article 322 of the Swiss Penal Code. The end does not justify all means, especially when respect for important provisions of our legal system is at stake.”

Can someone please point out to him that without the tariffs, the bailout wouldn't be necessary?

Propose something that obviously would cause issues

Get morons to vote for you to implement such a proposal

Issues happen

Use taxpayer money to "fix" the issue (it won't, corporate ag farms will just get 99.9% of the money and more mom and pop farms will close, but Fox News will tell them they are saved)

Run on having fixed the issue and get the morons to vote for you again

We paid for the tariffs so we paid for the bailout. How are we cutting down the debt again ???

There’s money that China could have been paying our farmers for their product.
The president decided that was bad.
Instead, we should just GIVE farmers money that comes from the pockets of the hardest working taxpaying Americans. Not nearly enough to replace the actual lost revenue from China, but enough to put us further in the hole.
199-D chess!

So socialism ?

No. At least in socialism, we’d get some soybeans in exchange for our $12 billion.
This is just “shootourselvesinthedickism.”
