Remember all those unproven "quid pro quo" allegations against Biden?

[Hollie]

No, that's now how any of this worked.

The steel is being donated for free, as a bribe from a foreign company.

Another of your brain dead conspiracy theories.

 

[konradv]

You make no sense.

Trump makes no sense. That should worry you, not me.

 

[Winston]

No, that's now how any of this worked.

The steel is being donated for free, as a bribe from a foreign company.

And that foreign company got a break on the tariffs. It is called Quid Pro Quo. How many American steelworkers will lose their job because of that foreign company and their tariff break? That steel ain't free, those workers will pay for it, we will all pay for it with higher steel prices.

Democrats Denounce Trump’s Plan to Use Foreign Steel in White House Ballroom​

Democrats seized on a report that President Trump accepted a donation of foreign steel to be used in the White House ballroom, saying it showed disrespect toward American steel workers and raised questions about possible corruption.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that ArcelorMittal, a steel company with headquarters in Luxembourg, had arranged a large donation of steel produced in Europe to form the structure of the White House ballroom.

Mr. Trump publicly mentioned the donation, which he claimed was worth $37 million, last October without revealing the identity of the donor. Days after his remarks, the administration announced a tariff exemption that would benefit ArcelorMittal.

Wait...........I'm sure that was just a coincidence. Nobody could believe an upstanding guy like trump would do anything so blatantly corrupt, right? Cuz he's never grifted before.

Trump family crypto firm sold major stake to UAE investment firm​

A crypto company run by President Donald Trump’s family members sold a large stake to investors tied to the United Arab Emirates just days before Trump’s inauguration, linking a Trump family business to a prominent member of the UAE’s governing elite.

The investment, worth a reported $500 million, gave Emirati-backed investors a 49 percent stake in World Liberty Financial, a crypto company that counts all three of Trump’s sons as co-founders and is also closely tied with Steve Witkoff, a longtime Trump ally who is among his most prominent advisers.

Several months after the investment in World Liberty Financial, the UAE was granted access to advanced chips made in the United States that can help power artificial intelligence. The Trump administration scrapped rules imposed under President Joe Biden, paving the way for G42 to purchase advanced American-made chips.

Despite having a limitless capacity for stuffing information like this down the proverbial memory hole, trump fans are going to need to dig another hole if they haven't already. Because the news of corruption, incompetence, and mental incapacity is coming to light daily.

I guess Hillary selling Uranium to foreign countries like Russia isn't a problem then?

Because you totally spaced that out.

Or Biden opening up the Office of Chinese Coordination?

Forgot about that one too.

Or Bill Clinton selling missile technology to the Chinese military?

Biden was the most worthless president in modern history. End of story.

Biden is looking far better than Trump and opinion polls are backing that...

Trump is just proof how foolish MAGA are...

Economically Biden admin is beating Trump admin on the numbers... Trump economic mismanagement has been a disaster..

https://www.reuters.com/markets/asia/us-march-budget-deficit-rises-slightly-164-billion-war-outlays-delayed-2026-04-10/

Trump has destroyed US name internationally. They are a walking disaster...

Then there is the thing about the sworn testimony of Trump rapinga nd beating a 13 year old girl which Trump hasn't addresses...

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

And that foreign company got a break on the tariffs. It is called Quid Pro Quo.

Exactly right.

Wrong by a country. The most worthless is the Orange Asshole.

I'm glad you were able to get that fatuous, unsubstantiate whine off your chest. But it doesn't change a thing about trump's corruption.

 

[berg80]

It's a donation. I'm okay with it since tax dollars aren't building the Ballroom.
Unless and American steel company wants to donate the material. That would be okay.

It's called pay for play. Did you miss this part?

Mr. Trump publicly mentioned the donation, which he claimed was worth $37 million, last October without revealing the identity of the donor. Days after his remarks, the administration announced a tariff exemption that would benefit ArcelorMittal.

I can't even refer to that as a whataboutism cuz it's yet another a lie still rattling around the right wing sound chamber after all these years.

The Facts on Uranium One - FactCheck.org

Two House committees have said that they will investigate the Obama administration’s approval of a deal that gave Russia a financial interest in U.S. uranium production. We covered the issue during the 2016 presidential campaign. We'll recap here what we know – and don’t know -- about the 2010 deal.

Now that you know your first comment is a lie, how do you feel about Don screwing American steel workers?

It's not a lie because the fact of the sale has been proven over and over again, I don't care what fakecheck.org says now after the fact. Them saying there's no proof that Bill Clinton getting $500,000.00 for a Russian speaking engagement isn't tied in with the sale of US Uranium rights can be considered accurate. Mostly because they didn't bother to look for any evidence.

And no US steel worker is getting screwed because the steel was donated...not purchased.

Donations aren't considered profit in anyone's book. Maybe a tax write-off, but nothing else.

I suppose you have never gone to Harbor Fraight or Wal-Mart.

I have. Now how about answering my question.

It's a bottomless pit. "I don't see a thing". It's the only way they can justify what they have done.

LEAVING MAGA Support Group

By the way, I'm sure they'll get to those Biden allegations right after they finish jailing people for the "rigged election".

 

[j-mac]

I have. Now how about answering my question.

Do you think one structure is going to effect one steel job here?

Do I think Trump should now go to American steel plans, and use this as a chip to see if an American com pan will pony up? I bet they would, don’t you?
