Former President Donald Trump made a “remarkably blunt and transactional pitch” to oil company executives at a meeting at Mar-a-Lago last month, demanding they raise $1 billion for his re-election campaign in exchange for a “deal” that they would benefit from the tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks he would support in his second term, reported The Washington Post.
Trump’s response stunned several of the executives in the room overlooking the ocean: You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House. At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted, according to people with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private conversation.
Giving $1 billion would be a “deal,” Trump said, because of the taxation and regulation they would avoid thanks to him, according to the people.

Of course they had to bring race into it, but did they really have to capitalize the color? We know why they do it... they do it to keep us divided and for the left, it probably works. Search "White New Jersey Shore" and you get lots of articles about sharks but only one about the predominant color of the people.The stores along the boardwalk in this predominantly White New Jersey shore town advertised Trump merchandise for those walking toward the rally.

Trump lashes out after DOJ reveals classified documents were found in ex-president’s bedroom at Mar-a-Lago
Donald Trump has lashed out once again at Joe Biden and the US Department of Justice after it was revealed that classified documents were found stashed in his bedroom at Mar-a-Lago.
The 87-page document found prosecutors had presented compelling evidence that the former president had knowingly stashed national security documents in his home and then tried to conceal them when the DOJ tried to retrieve them.
In her opinion, Judge Howell wrote: “Notably, no excuse is provided as to how the former president could miss the classified-marked documents found in his own bedroom at Mar-a-Lago.”
In her opinion, Judge Howell noted there were at least two more rounds of classified materials found at Mar-a-Lago following additional searches.
“Two months after the former president yielded 38 unique classified documents to the government on June 3, 2022, the government discovered over 100 additional classified documents stored in Mar-a-Lago during execution of the August 8, 2022 search warrant that the former president had failed to deliver,” the opinion stated.
“The documents were classified to levels as high as TOP SECRET, with some documents bearing additional sensitive compartment indications; undoubtedly, these documents contained national defense information.”
It went on: “More classified-marked documents still were uncovered in November 2022 in a leased storage unit, in December 2022 in the Office at Mar-a-Lago, and apparently sometime thereafter in the former president’s own bedroom at Mar-a-Lago.”
Judge Howell’s opinion was unsealed along with a large batch of other previously secret grand jury-related documents stemming from the investigation into Mr Trump for withholding reams of classified documents after leaving office in 2021, including some of the nation’s most sensitive military secrets.

Biden apologists: Sure, he committed crimes that would imprison average Americans, but he was so nice about giving them back!koobookie wrote:

Oh, we care, Rick. It's just that Traitor Donny hid them and then, unlike Biden, did not cooperate with the government when required to return them. Really, do try to keep up.
