    1. A more accurate headline might be: “Trump Considers Bailing Out His Family’s Major Business Partner Using Taxpayer Money.” So much for America First.

    2. America First, am I right?

      “They’re using your tax dollars to bail out a bunch of oil-rich foreigners” ought to be a slam dunk message for Democrats in the midterms.

    3. I mean what do people expect him to say, “nah it’s over?” Most sycophantic person in President Trump’s cabinet wants to bail out the financial backers of Affinity Partners, which doesn’t have any investors in the USA, but has a fuckload of them in the Gulf States.

      There’s always plenty of money to bail out businesses partners, other countries, and to provide bribes or “aid.” But never enough for healthcare or infrastructure. Got it.
