The Hill:
“All I have to do is call up the head of every Wall Street firm, head of every major company, the head of every major energy company, ‘Do me a favor, send me $10 million for my campaign.’ ‘Yes, sir.’ They say the only thing is, ‘Why didn't you ask for more, sir?’ ” Trump said at a campaign stop in Arizona, adding that he would not accept the funds “because if I do that I'm totally compromised.”

“Don't forget, I'm not bad at that stuff anyway, and I'm president. So I call some guy, the head of Exxon. I call the head of Exxon. I don't know,” Trump said before playing out a conversation.

“How are you doing? How’s energy coming? When are you doing the exploration? Oh, you need a couple of permits?” he said. “When I call the head of Exxon I say, ‘You know, I'd love [for you] to send me $25 million for the campaign.’ ‘Absolutely sir.’”

“I will hit a home run every single call. I would raise a billion dollars in one day if I wanted to. I don't want to do that,” he said.

He's saying (a), but not (b).

I mean, even if we lol assume he's telling the truth, he's not saying that he isn't doing it for moral reasons, but for practical ones. That's not really a "compunction".

Sure, it's true that, except for the ones he's already lost, which continues to grow, Trump has kept all of his supporters.

This statement is false. If you want to say that Trump is overly blithe in how he talks about soliciting bribes, or he lies about it, or his objection to it is practical rather than moral, fine, I don't really care.

I'm still dumbfounded by the fact that the only time in his life he was successful and not bleeding money hand over fist is when he had a TV show pretending to be a successful businessman. He is the ultimate troll.

With what little time he has left, I am surprised that he is not just packing up and going to the Domincan Republic for some Opiod and Viagra fueled sex tourism, err I mean golf

Funny how Trump uses this as a way to mock the guy, when where it came to important stuff, such as how to lead a nation during a pandemic Trump performed worse than just about any living human. But maybe he can throw a ball good. Yay.

Trump's narrative being:

Melania is weak, Me strong, no lingering cough, I am Superman!

Real reason She is not going, She is sick of him!

Melania being a full-blown long-hauler would be wild.

I had to look that up, I thought (hoped) it might have been some sexual slang the kids were using these days.

And Trump didn't brag about soliciting bribes from Exxon, that's fake news.

How long have posters been saying he can't lose any he hasn't already lost?

Was always obvious nonsense and so far he has loads of those he could lose during that time. Hopefully enough to se him being routed in the election.

Well except for the 7400 who couldn't get tickets because they were, you know, dead.

By contrast Taiwan has more than double the population of Georgia and they had SEVEN deaths. Not seven hundred, seven. Total. And Georgia even had Taiwan to copy from.

Just a colossal failure by the Georgia GOP. Sad.

$310 million in contributions disappeared into a web of shady LLC's. But I'm sure there were no bribes in there with it.

He is actually bragging about not soliciting bribes, even though he could, I am not sure that is much better.

Not just bragging, he’s demanding we give him credit for not committing any more crimes than he already has.
