1. Pffft. Like Trump can be reached or goaded into action by anything like this

Pay To Play is his favorite fucking idea of all time, and Corruption is his middle name. If anything he'll see this as a reason to demand more money be given to himself personally by the lobbyists. Increase the ransom demands, as it were.

Alford must be reasonably smart to be a law professor at Notre Dame, but it seems like he's pretty damn clueless about what Trump's actual 'motives' are. In NO CASE is his motive EVER to do the morally correct thing, or even the MAGA-correct thing (unless it's going to be very public, which this will not be).

Trumps motive for EVERYTHING is ALWAYS Power, Money, and Glory for himself. Period. Like the wizened sage Epstein once asserted, Trump completely lacks a moral compass.

So, let us know how that works out for you, Alford!
