It's par for the course that after Trump posted AI video of him dumping presumably his own liquid shit onto American citizens for exercising their rights, an unprecedentedly disgusting and hostile thing to do, Mike Johnson then said "He didn't mean it" and the media just went "ok" and dropped it

Taking in refugees isn't just a nice thing we do ā we have a legal obligation. The 1951 Refugee Convention came about specifically because countries like the US refused entry to Jews who were trying to escape Germany, because the world didn't ever want that to happen again.

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.
