SHOCKING Report Says Trump Using Cash Prizes To Bribe Republican Lawmakers

According to new reports, Donald Trump is using the promise of sharing his campaign cash with Republican lawmakers in order to keep them voting for his horrific priorities. In essence, this is nothing short of bribery, but it is a perfectly LEGAL form of bribery, thanks to the Supreme Court. But the Republicans who are getting these reassurances from Trump need to remember the past few elections where Trump made the same promises and then completely failed to deliver for them. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

There are multiple reasons why Republicans in both the House and the Senate have effectively fallen in line with everything Donald Trump has wanted them to do, especially over in the Senate voting to confirm every single one of his unqualified people to his cabinet. One of the reasons as, uh, it was recently revealed by Vanity Fair, I believe it was, uh, either them or the New Yorker, but that's not important. It is the fact that these Republicans are terrified. They've admitted of getting death threats. If they go against Donald Trump, if they speak out about a nominee, they get death threats. And they do. That has been confirmed. So they're scared that the MAGA base is going to literally murder them. If they go against Donald Trump. They're also worried that Trump will go against them, right? Like we don't want him to, to bring in a primary challenger.

So we'll just go with everything he says. But according to new reports, there's now a third reason why these Republicans in the House and Senate are going along with everything Donald Trump does. And that is because he is effectively, though legally bribing them. Donald Trump, according to an unnamed White House official, is effectively dangling that half a billion dollars that he has in his super pacs in front of these Republican politicians telling them, Hey, make sure you're on my side because look at all this money I have that I can't spend on me. I have to spend it on other Republicans. Wouldn't you like this? Well, stick with me and I'll make sure you get a piece of it. Here's what the White House official said. If you don't want to put yourselves in a bad spot, put us in a good spot. Do us all a favor so we can all work together. Be smart. Don't waste everyone's time. And then of course, at a meeting of Republican governors last month, Donald Trump said about the half billion dollars he has raised since the election, he said, I gotta spend it somewhere, and they tell me I'm not allowed to run. If I can't spend it on me, I guess it means I'm going to be spending it on some of my friends.

Now, I love this one because he can do that. It's legal, right? There's no ethical issues. He can bribe these people to go along with him and say, if you do this, I'll give you money. Perfectly legal thanks to our very corrupt US Supreme Court. But the main reason I love it is because these idiot Republicans don't realize that it's not gonna happen. Here's the thing. In 2020, in 2022, and in 2024, Donald Trump was sitting on vast sums of money, hundreds of millions of dollars more than he could possibly need to spend. And in each one of those

Cycles, 20 20, 20 22, 20 24, he did the same thing. He told these Republicans, he went out there repeatedly like, Hey, I will. I got all this money. I'll give you money. I will spend it on you. He made these lofty promises, and each one of those three years, I sat right here in this rickety old chair in front of this very same camera, speaking into this very same microphone each one of those years doing stories about how Republicans were getting pissy because the promised money from Donald Trump never materialized. Well, he told me he would give me this, and then he never did. He said, he is raised this much and he'll give X amount to Republicans, and he never did. Every year, every cycle, same story, every time.

What makes these idiots think that this time is gonna be any different? Well, because he can't run again. He said he can't spend it on himself, but y'all know that's not true. Yes, Trump cannot run again. He is term limited by the Constitution. That as of right now, is still in effect.
