Hunter was not elected and was being paid by a private company for puffing his cheeks and looking important.
Trump is elected and is being bribed by a pro hamas government for an opportunity to influence USA official policies
You pissed that AIPAC has been outbid?
Think they can offer $500 million and buy his support again?

His buddy Putin should offer him one of these.
On 23 August 2023, an Embraer Legacy 600 business jet with ten people on board crashed near Kuzhenkino in Tver Oblast, approximately 100 kilometers (60 mi) north of its departure point in Moscow. Among the victims were Yevgeny Prigozhin, Dmitry Utkin and Valery Chekalov, the key figures of the Wagner Group, a Russian state-funded private military company.


The aircraft, manufactured by Brazilian company Embraer, had been associated with Prigozhin since 2018. It was barred from the United States due to sanctions imposed on Prigozhin after his involvement in the Russian interference in the 2018 United States elections.[9]

Now that Congress has taken steps to block Trump from profiting through questionable means, the opportunity has opened to scrutinize his actions, past, present, and future. As the economy continues to decline, it's important to examine the extent of Trump's authority to unilaterally impose tariffs on foreign countries.
While the Constitution grants Congress the power to regulate tariffs, Trump has invoked the Trade Expansion Act to justify tariffs under the guise of national security. He has also relied on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to target countries like Canada, Mexico, and China, claiming they are responsible for the influx of large quantities of fentanyl into the United States.
If Congress revokes his ability to use these emergency powers, or grounds his "grift plane". Trump would lose a major lever of influence. Without tariff authority, his effectiveness in office could collapse. Even high-profile allies like Elon Musk and his promotion of DOGE might not be safe from constitutional scrutiny. All it could take is one decisive act from Congress to strip Trump of this power, setting off a chain reaction, weakening his political standing, eroding support within the GOP, and sending the MAGA base fleeing.

It will only take one unfavorable act of congress on Trump to send his presidency into a spiral. If this happens by the mid term election he will have lost his credibility, honor and effectiveness to govern. Even people in his own party will be careful not to support his tyranny. The MAGAs will run away in droves.
Everyone thought that might happen in the financial collapse of 2020, or the criminal mishandling of covid, or the failed insurrection or the 34 convicted felonies or the sexual assault thingy

Here's the thing: They are going to need to take that plane apart to find/remove any possible listening devices and what not. After that, they need to install millions (if not billions) in special comms equipment and counter-measures that are currently in Air Force One, things like EMP shielding in the event of a nuclear exchange, as well as air filtration systems and so on. Lord knows how long and expensive that process would be.

But....could you imagine the shit storm Fox would have if Obama/Biden or Harris did a similar thing? Their heads will explode. But, because it's Trump....the right are ignoring it. With the shocking exception of Laura Loomer....who is calling this out.
Trump said that Putin oversaw the modifications of the avionics

I believe referring to the jet. It's in the US constitution- whats been referred to as the emoluments clause: here's the e act quote (followed by the wikipedia interpretation):
"No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
Wikipedia:
The Foreign Emoluments Clause is a provision in Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution,[1] that prohibits the federal government from granting titles of nobility, and restricts members of the federal government from receiving gifts, emoluments, offices or titles from foreign states and monarchies without the consent of the United States Congress. Also known as the Titles of Nobility Clause, it was designed to shield the federal officeholders of the United States against so-called "corrupting foreign influences". The clause is reinforced by the corresponding prohibition on state titles of nobility in Article I, Section 10, and more generally by the Republican Guarantee Clause in Article IV, Section 4.[2]
You wanna bet congress will pass this if it goes there?
