Business leaders are paying as much as $5 million to meet one-on-one with the president at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1 million apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

    The same thing was happening during his first mandate.

    Remember when Carter put his farm in a blind trust because of Republican outrage?

    Crowdfund me a million and I will make fun of him nonstop for the duration of the meal. I bet I can make him cry.

      Trump isn’t capable of crying. His only two emotional states are happy with his adoring fans, or angry.

    I hope that the people bribing Trump bribe him to do things that aren’t too damaging to others in the country.

    Sure would be a shame if four people 3D printed four parts of a DIY gun and smuggled them in seperately before assembling it in the bathroom using a stack of confidential documents as a workbench.
