Rachel Maddow Sounds The Alarm As Trump’s Want For Money Threatens Nationwide Safety

Rachel Maddow defined how Trump’s pressing want for money is a risk to nationwide safety.
Maddow stated:

So he desperately wants cash. I imply, proper now that bond, the half billion greenback bond, that’s two weeks from right this moment and he wants that cash so urgently proper now whereas he’s overtly altering his publicly held lengthy, held supposedly heartfelt coverage place positions in ways in which seem like simply straight up responsiveness to monetary incentives on the bond he paid already. And the massive one he’s received to place up for throughout the subsequent two weeks, there isn’t a public transparency into who is perhaps cosigning with him or in any other case underwriting these bonds. Any person serving to him put up the money and collateral for these bonds. If that’s the case, what are they getting in trade for his or her generosity to him? I imply, we all know the title of the bonding firm that put up the $91 million bond for the E. Jean Carroll case, however we don’t know if it was Trump alone or Trump and a few helpers who put up the money and collateral essential to acquire that bond from that company. We now have requested Mr Trump this night if he’ll inform us if there have been cosigners or anybody in any other case aiding him in acquiring that bond. We now have not but heard again from him. We’ll let if we do, however in nationwide safety phrases, this can be a profoundly harmful factor no matter what it means for him personally.

And politically, it’s a harmful factor for us as a rustic. I imply, take into consideration if, in the event you wanted to get a safety clearance for work, proper? You needed to get a safety clearance, however once you utilized for that clearance, the FBI did their background verify on you they usually turned conscious that you just had been on this a lot want of this a lot cash this urgently in the event you had been making use of for a safety clearance proper now. And the FBI discovered that two weeks from right this moment, you have to put up money and collateral, collateral to safe nearly a half billion {dollars}
of a bond to pay your courtroom judgments.

Do you assume you’ll get a safety clearance? There isn’t any probability you’ll ever be authorised for even the bottom degree safety clearance? As a result of the chance is simply too apparent.

Maddow concluded:

We’re in a spot the place all the Republican Occasion equipment is merging with Trump’s private authorized protection equipment. And the best way he has been behaving in the case of being transactional at his time of most determined monetary want places us irrespective of the way you consider Trump, irrespective of whether or not you assist him or not, irrespective of whether or not you care about politics or not, it places us the American folks in a radically fragile place in the case of what precisely is on the market in our nation and from our authorities, I imply, Bud Gentle and TikTok appear to have found out very early on the place precisely you insert the cash to obtain your prize.

However, but when something is on the market, proper? If, if the whole lot is on the market, what makes you assume it’s gonna cease with skinny beer and Chinese language social media apps, the whole lot should go, the whole lot’s on the market. Anyone who will pay can get what they need. And also you surprise why guys like this at all times need to undermine the rule of legislation.

Rachel Maddow didn’t say it, however the implication is that if Trump begins getting nationwide safety briefings what would cease him from promoting them to lift some a lot wanted money?

The RNC is just about broke. Trump’s fundraising has dried up. Donald Trump desperately wants cash and one of many locations the place he might get it will be by promoting US secrets and techniques.

Heck, Trump might make all types of guarantees about what he’ll do for anybody as soon as he’s again within the White Home in the event that they write him a verify right this moment.

Donald Trump is a multifaceted nationwide safety risk, however the greatest present threat to our nation is perhaps Trump’s pressing want for money.
