why do you say its a bribe? where is actual money going?

To the state coffers where it is money laundered to friends of the political class via favored private enterprises that win contracts for things like building border walls, keeping databases on US citizens, or running detention facilities.

Is there any evidence of this? Otherwise please don't post unsubstantiated rumors on this site, it's not what it was made for!

Do you take contention with the part where I indicate the money paid goes into the state coffers?

Or the part that money from the state coffers is then laundered to friends of the political class via favored private enterprises that win contracts?

Let us be specific about the part that is the "unsubstantiated rumor", so that I can come up with "any evidence" which is a low bar to pass indeed.

		you mean there isn't enough money in the coffers already for the 'laundering to friends' that have to create new schemes?

Like many cleptocrats, DJT seems to think that money received by the federal government is somehow his. However I don't think bribe is the appropriate term, it's more of a shakedown.
