Donald Trump is in massive debt, and his attorney admitted he’s open to other strategies to pay it off.

Donald Trump hasn’t ruled out being bought by foreign powers—according to his legal team.

On Thursday, the GOP presidential nominee’s attorney, Alina Habba, failed to say that Trump definitely would notturn to a foreign country if it meant he could secure bond money to cover his $464 million bank fraud penalty.

“Is there any effort on the part of your team to secure this money through another country, Saudi Arabia or Russia, as Joy Behar seems to think?” asked Fox News’s Martha MacCallum, referring to a recent episode of The View in which Behar speculated that such a move—that is, having a president bought and sold by potentially hostile foreign powers—could be a cataclysmic national security threat.

But none of that fazed Habba, who completely sidestepped answering the question and failed the very basic test of answering “no.”

    Sounds like a job for our counter intelligence services…right? Or do they just sit on their thumbs and do fuckall like they have since 2016 while this worthless gasbag mobster sells the country out from under us?

      They can probably act with all sorts of information.

      But the problem is:

      1. GOP obstruction
      2. Supporters inside the house
      3. Concerns of violent fucks

      It’s frustrating that a temper tantrum baby is literally committing crimes and playing chicken with police and winning.

    You sure she understood the question? That was a looong sentence with a lot of words.

    ”…It’s the demise of our country, not the demise of Trump,” [Habba] added.

    Nah, I’m pretty sure it’s just the demise of Trump. I acknowledge the attempt at drama, though.

      Yeah, click baity. I’m very sure he is open to taking money from hostile governments but she just dodged the question blurting out a mouthful of garbage.
