Donald Trump says his businesses received payments from foreign governments because he was “doing services” for them.

Trump was at a Fox News town hall on Wednesday, commenting on a recent report from Democratic lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee. The report, published on January 4, said Trump’s businesses had received at least $7.8 million in foreign payments during his presidency.

“That’s a small amount of money. You know, it sounds like a lot of money. That’s small,” Trump said at the town hall.

The former president then explained that the payments were for accommodation at his clubs and hotels.

      Yes. They want to claim that “POTUS is King and therefore can do no wrong.”? Okay. Let’s test them to see how true that is. Sure would be a shame if a couple Tomahawks were let off the chain and Mar-a-Lago happened to be the target and Trump happened to be there.
