11. Don't worry - according to Republican jurisprudence, it's only a bribe if the quid pro quo is in plain sight

and since we don't know what the "entity" that's funding this via the British Virgin Islands tax haven is, then there can't possibly be anything in it for the "entity" - which is obviously just giving away $300m to Trump from pure adoration and worship, without expectation of anything in return.

And we may never know - because Trump does so many unhinged things that benefit companies, individuals or, say, Gulf authoritarian monarchies or nuclear-armed Eurasian petrostate dictatorships, seemingly at random, you can't look at his actions and say "he must have been bribed to do that". It's always possible that he does something because he admires the way they murder their opposition, for instance.
