Josh Hawley says ‘nobody believes’ Trump can be bought: ‘What does he need more money for’?

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) flatly declared Wednesday that any ethical concerns over Donald Trump looking to use his memecoin to profit off from his presidency are unfounded because the president is so rich that “nobody believes” that he “can be bought.”

“What does Donald Trump need more money for?” a credulous Hawley rhetorically asked during a CNN interview.

Even before Trump was offered a $400 million luxury jet by the Qatari royal family, which critics have claimed violates the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, the president had come under fire for planning two lavish cryptocurrency-focused dinners — one of which costs $1.5 million per plate to attend.

Meanwhile, foreign investors have jumped at the opportunity to buy up the president’s $TRUMP, a so-called memecoin that Trump launched just as he entered the White House in January. Some of these foreign companies have explicitly stated that they’ve purchased the president’s cryptocurrency in an effort to gain influence with the president.

1. He could at least think up some more believable lies.

Pathetic.

2. And, lawyers never lie because they're bound by ethics rules.

There's one born every minute in America.

3. Literally the dumbest logic, but people believe it

Specifically people who know nothing about history or world events.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. There are countless examples of royalty, dictators, and businesspeople who do terrible things to amass even more power and money.

4. He needs more money because he is an emotional cripple who has no other way to feel special.

He doesn't care about people, about this country, about this planet

He only cares about "ME! ME! ME!"

Why does he need a 400-million-dollar private jet when he already has Air Force One to serve him? Because he feels special in a bigger, gaudier jet.

14. Yep, he knows he's gonna be out, so sucking up to the dictator in hopes of a new job?

Prolly thinks Noem is having fun with her cos play gig. Wants some of that action.

7. The $400M tag on that plane would make......

a big dent in the $450M+ he owes E. Jean Carroll............ Maybe she should go after it.......

Yeah, Runnin' Josh is cosmically stoopid.........maybe why so many Missourians vote for the twerp.

8. Josh is the type of guy you can send an armed mob to kill

And he flee from it while shitting in his pants.

And still 4 years later come back groveling to the mobs master like a good little puppet.

LOL. Dude is a willing slave.

10. Trump wants more

For the same reason all rich people want more, because they want it.

[BurnDoubt]

13. He CAN be trusted...

to look out for himself. If he gave half a shit about the problems of Americans, they would be handled. He and his cadre of weasels are great about navigating obstacles to his wishes, even if he needs to Lie, cheat, or break the law, knowing his courthouse henchmen will do the dirty work to obfuscate the Law. America's citizens appear to him as they appeared to Godzilla, tiny and impotent against his massive ego. Bullying only goes so far, and by the time he wears it out, we will be fucked. And he will swan off and count his loot. Thanks to the voids under all those Red Hats. FAFO will be cold-comfort. And all our problems will continue to vex.

15. For people like Trump, there's no such thing as enough money.

Of course he can be bought.
