The title literally says “Trump is actually guilty” despite there being no evidence he is guilty
You’re misusing the word evidence. There is absolutely evidence that he is guilty. Whether it’s enough to prosecute is a question for those closer to the case. But, if you’re going to attack someone on the semantics, you should use your own words correctly.
Rich guys try to bribe politicians in roundabout ways all the time
I would say “try to” is an unsubstantiated addition.
How is he supposed to prevent someone from buying up all the rooms in his hotels in an attempt to get on his good side?
Simple. If you see a transaction attempt that reeks of criminality, you reject it. If this rich guy had any intention of bribing a politician in roundabout way, there’s no way he went through the effort to hide the transfers so the Trump or the hotel couldn’t tell what was going on. Because then it wouldn’t work.
Trump is not involved in the day to day of his business and its not out of the question that he had no idea it was happening until after it happened.
So you will agree the hotel was involved in illicit spending, or are you just trying to muddy the water by separating him from his for-profit businesses?
Give me a break. What’s the point of bringing up the fact that it’s a charity if you admit charities are used for this exact purpose all the time
Because I’m an honest person and the only thing I attack is bullshit. You don’t donate money to a charity as a bribe without prearranged quid pro quo because the owners of the charity don’t just get to pocket the donation. This is not true of a hotel that is 100% owned by Trump.
Why do you think the Saudi’s donated 10 figure amounts to the Clinton foundation?
Good question. It should be investigated (and was, heavily investigated with no proof of illicit behavior discovered). Unlike the $1M hotel thing, we need to see if any of that money reached Hillary/Bill. We KNOW the $1M hotel bill largely reached Trump’s pockets.
But take a step back and be honest with me. If I hand you $1M to curry favor, is that the same as if I hand St. Jude’s Hospital $1M to curry favor of someone who works there?
You’re misusing the word evidence. There is absolutely evidence that he is guilty.
No there isn’t. There is just evidence that this guy bought some hotel rooms to suck up to trump. Any rich person could do that. Would you say there was evidence of Hunter Biden using his connection to his father to further his business deals?
Simple. If you see a transaction attempt that reeks of criminality, you reject it.
I don’t reject the possibility of it being a pseudo bribe, I just said there is no proof of it. Any random rich guy can buy a bunch of rooms at trumps hotels. I doubt trump is monitoring who buys rooms at his hotels.

Oh please, there are much more efficient means of transferring money to someone than buying up all their hotel rooms. Nothing could be more obvious at attempting to bribe than that. I’m not saying this guy didn’t try to bribe trump, there’s just no evidence that it worked. If you have evidence I will change my mind.
Good question. It should be investigated (and was, heavily investigated with no proof of illicit behavior discovered).
Do you recognize that there’s a disincentive for government agencies to come out with an indictment on a extremely powerful and politically connected potential presidential candidate. Do you not remember when Clinton wiped her entire email server and played dumb? They investigated that too, and of course laid no charges. If Trump did that, it would be game over for him.
A donation to a charity controlled by a politician does not need to go into the pocket of said politician in order to be immoral. That money represents power, even if it doesn’t directly line the pockets of Hillary Clinton.
But take a step back and be honest with me. If I hand you $1M to curry favor, is that the same as if I hand St. Jude’s Hospital $1M to curry favor of someone who works there?
St Judes is not the same as the Clinton Foundation and you know that.
You’re misusing the word evidence. There is absolutely evidence that he is guilty.
No there isn’t. There is just evidence that this guy bought some hotel rooms to suck up to trump.
Suggestion: Look up what “evidence” means as a legal term. The paper trail of the guy buying hotel rooms is evidence that Trump was involved. Doesn’t make Trump guilty. Doesn’t make him innocent either. Evidence isn’t proof, and evidence exists of things we are not yet convinced are true (or that actually aren’t).
St Judes is not the same as the Clinton Foundation and you know that.
I really don’t know that. The name of the founders on it shouldn’t affect the charity. Except for Trump foundation, but only because he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and had it taken away.
because he very much could have not been involved.
Correct
…welcome to how evidence works. The legal definition for evidence is “Evidence an item or information proffered to make the existence of a fact more or less probable” It is incredibly rare that “no evidence” exists for some claim. People who assert otherwise are either confusing evidence with proof OR arguing from a position of such extreme bias they cannot see. I still haven’t figured which of the two you are, so I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt by correcting the former.

Also, all of the stuff about his private business dealings aside, Trump Foundation was also a charity. Emphasis on “was.”
Anyone know what happened to that charity? I bet it’ll only take one guess…
I can’t stop laughing. Yes indeed. Too bad that guy isn’t going to engage, since he was just here to troll.
No there isn’t. There is just evidence that this guy bought some hotel rooms to suck up to trump. Any rich person could do that. Would you say there was evidence of Hunter Biden using his connection to his father to further his business deals?

That is not evidence trump is involved, because he very much could have not been involved.
