"SNIP......

“The Trump Organization negotiated on behalf of then-president Donald Trump to make Parler his primary social network, but it had a condition: an ownership stake in return for joining,” BuzzFeed News report.

“The deal was never finalized, but legal experts said the discussions alone, which occurred while Trump was still in office, raise legal concerns with regards to anti-bribery laws.”

1. If he was a part owner, they couldn't censor or ban him?

[applegrove]

3. They don't censor or ban anyone. That was the attraction. He wanted $$$.

He assumed he would be the flagship personality and bring 80 million people to it from the USA alone. He wanted a cut. IMHO

[Irish_Dem]

8. Sigh, he always wants a cut.

[gratuitous]

9. That's it right there

Trump signs on to Parler, Parler attracts a bunch of new subscribers, Trump gots to get paid. Well, Trump didn't get paid, and now he doesn't have a social media platform at all. Boo to the fuckin' hoo, Donald.

2. Sometimes I feel sorry for Dump

he's such a damaged human being.

4. LOL!

Trump dodged a financial bullet! Is that the first time he didn't make a bad investment?

[soothsayer]

7. He wanted it for FREE, it seems on a closer read

Quid pro quo for “starring” on it

[Xolodno]

10. That's even funnier.

He's often stiffed contractors, vendors, etc. by saying they will make a lot of money by advertising they worked, supplied, etc. Trump.

I got ten dollars that says the fine print of their contract states they cannot use Trump to advertise their business.

5. Trump couldn't make a deal with the Mercers?

That's amusing.

6. Another of the don's quid pro quos

[halfulglas]

11. How many more are there?

Like those deals for the coronavirus testing kits, the distribution for the first shipments of vaccine, other "deals" set up with Jared. A lot of crap while he was tightening his grip on all government departments in the last 4 years. Could so many of those appointments he made in the past 3 months be not just out of meanness, but trying to tighten his grip to get some more grift? The man is corrupt to the core.
