Background
President Donald Trump dazzled a rally audience in Arizona on Monday by describing a scenario in which he could-if he really wanted to do so, that is-shake down a company like ExxonMobil for millions of dollars in campaign cash.
So, I call some guy, the head of Exxon, I call the head of ExxonI dont know he told the crowd. Ill use a company. How, how are you doing, hows energy coming? When are you doing the exploration? Oh, you need a couple of permits, huh? Okay, but I call the head of Exxon, I say, You know, Id love you to send me $25 million for the campaign.'
