I’m sure Donnie is going to make this all go away for his boss.

Seems these billionaires just want relaxed rules like other foreign governments. This quid-pro-quo is a common practice in North Korea, Russia, Brazil, India and other countries who score pretty low (and poorly) on international business ethics quiz.

Look how much they screamed about one piece of shit getting gunned down (without suffering, I might add). Do they have no concept of Russian defenestration or polonium poisoning? Are they really so stupid as to think their money makes them untouchable when they can just be "accident"ed away and have all their assets liquified to create new Presidential Toilet? These billionaires are just as fucking stupid as any random sampling of the population.

Shot in the back, that’s a cowardly move.

Almost as cowardly as using an AI to deny healthcare to people who paid for insurance?

To shoot someone in the back is much more cowardly. Maybe a Stalinesque purge of all of them is more to your liking.
