Comment on Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way.
The same loophole exists almost anywhere: “its a gift to white house or trumps library”
A gold bar gifted to an institution would still count as corruption in most sane jurisdictions. Sure those loopholes exist, but we tend to disguise them as investments or charity.
But it’s not a gold bar but a “gold base” which would be technically legal almost everywhere. It shouldn’t be but thats how loopholes are.
