"Donald Trump Takes Personal Bribes From Foreign Governments to Change U.S. Policy"

Not sure why that highlight of his presidency wasn't the end of it
PS/ Trump's own former national security advisor, a far-right radical Republican, says that Trump's foreign policy with (at a bare minimum) China and Turkey and Russia is based on his personal business interests in those countries. That should have been the end of his presidency.
PS2/ If there were to be one question I could ask the American media establishment, and the GOP political establishment, and the entire GOP electorate, it would be why a president taking personal bribes from foreign governments to change US policy isn't an immediate deal-breaker.
PS3/ And if I were doing communications for the Democratic Party, there'd be *very few sentences I uttered* that did *not* include the word "bribe." E.g.:

The guy takes bribes. He's been bribed. Anyone can bribe him. He's bribable. His presidency is wall-to-wall bribery.

Et al.
PS4/ And the best part is, if you add in "in-kind" bribery—which is 100% bribery, and just as criminal, but simply doesn't involve *cash*—we've a mountain of evidence of Trump being engaged in bribery in Ukraine, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, the United Kingdom, Venezuela, and more.
PS5/ When Americans think of Trump, they should have one image in their mind besides babies in cages and what happened in Lafayette Square and Trump mimicking disabilities: the President of the United States receiving secret bribes from hostile foreign governments to harm America
PS6/ That is, finally, why I wrote a book (see pinned tweet) about Trump being *bribed* across the world and here at home: I couldn't take major-media reporting establishing that the man takes bribes to change US policy—establishing it 1000 times over—and no one talking about it.
