1. Wow. Right after the damning report on Jared in Vanity Fair.

In a real world Trump would pull an LBJ and bow out.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Art of the Deal.

Paying 5x the previous purchase price sure stinks of kickbacks. And this isn't an isolated case. This is how Trump does government.

[KS Toronado]

6. Stinks of kickbacks is dead on, can't wait until our new Democratic Congress looks into the grifting

[Harker]

3. The art of the heel. n/t

[Gothmog]

4. K&R

5. I just sent this info to a friend as a response to what did DT do that's so wrong. Don't know

anybody who could say this stuff wasn't WRONG!

[Fla Dem]

7. Oh the incompetence of it all!!!

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. I've long lived by the axiom "don't assume malice when it can be attributed to incompetence."

The Trump organization has made me reconsider that approach. 9 times out of 10 I think we're seeing greed, corruption, and malevolence rather than incompetence. Or on top of. I do waffle on that from time to time.

[JDC]

8. There is definitely slush in this deal that will come back to the Trump Crime Family

They can't resist wetting their beaks. Even in the face of a pandemic and the economic ruin If America. In fact, they prefer it that way.

[ffr]

9. Looters and thieves. It's just not funny anymore.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. It never was. Same corruption that has always been there. Rotten to the core. All of them.

[Illumination]

11. Like Clark Gable "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"...

No leadership, no management, taxpayer money wasted, fraud, corruption & he admires Putin & other authoritarians. Just like the bounty on our troops, he doesn't care! So is there a bounty on dying Americans?

[Moostache]

12. Is anyone surprised by this? With an IQ above room temperature, you KNEW this was coming...

There's a reason Trump bankrupted MULTIPLE casinos...he is a an incompetent sham of a human and ALWAYS was and ALWAYS will be. He associates with scum, he lies constantly and he is a bloviating braggart.

The sooner that piece of shit dies from whatever cardiac condition keeps sending him to Walter Reed instead of the WH medical facilities, the better for all humanity.

Just fucking die already Donnie. Please karma, I re-new my plea...implode his heart today...

[aggiesal]

13. Wonder if they are negociating kickbacks intentionally? ...

We'll give $500M, if you donate $400M into our campaign fund!
You'll still get the original $100M, that was negotiated.

This is some serious grifting going on in this administration.

[flying_wahini]

15. And just as I thought I couldn't be shocked by their greed anymore....

Don’t they know, that we will find out about it? Guess they don’t care.

[Blue Owl]

16. FUCK TRUMP

[crickets]

17. Oversight is too kind in blaming 'incompetence' and 'ineptitude.'

There is no one at this level of government who is that incompetent or inept. These actions were obviously intentional and shady as hell. Is no one going to dig a little deeper into this?

The Trump Administration’s efforts constitute over half-a-billion dollars of waste, fraud, or abuse. The Subcommittee calls on Philips to return the excess money so that it may aid the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Something tells me the Oversight Subcommittee might have to do a little more than ask to get that money back.

[IronLionZion]

18. They found lots of efficiencies by making it very slow and expensive

to make sure their cronies got rich instead of socialism. And now Americans got sick of winning

It gets extra dumb when these assholes claim this would all happen under socialism when it's happening now with GOP. Then they claim it would be worse when Biden is president.

[WinstonSmith4740]

19. Ever see the movie "Dave"?

According to the article, Phillips was awarded this contract in 2014. But due to "delays", they still won't be delivered for another 2 years. And it sounds like they've been (over) paid for. Huh?

[Ilsa]

20. "I make the best deals"

with the biggest kickbacks, I bet.

This administration needs to be audited.

[panfluteman]

21. I Kind of Wonder If Trump Is Trying to Turn the Pandemic Thing Into a Carrot on a Stick,

Telling voters that he will get around to taking care of the pandemic after the election to lure voters into voting for him. Once again, Trump is trying to play the American voter for a fool - nobody with half a lick of sense would buy that hair-brained scheme. But then again, there are a LOT of dumb American voters!

[OverBurn]

22. The Incompetence Is Staggering, WOW.
