It's not like this is the first time he has taken a bribe.

What do you think he gave to Elon Musk for his $250 million dollar "gift"? At the time of his "donation" to Trump, he had 8 different Departments of government investigating his business dealings. Trump let him off the hook. He gave him free rein to do whatever he wanted. And the Congress, under Republican control, let him do it.

This $400 million dollar luxury airplane given to him by Qatar was not a "gift". What did he promise them in return?

Trump has been a long term investment.

We now know that Russia has been stealing $billions from the US govt which is then used
to bribe corrupt GOP politicians and install them into high office.
