If it were that cheap Sean Combs would be a free man. They probably increase the expected bribe based on your perceived ability to pay.

It's probably as much about PR as it is about money - Puffy is a heavy lift on the PR side...

Giuliani was hawking pardons in the final days of Trump's first term. I'd expect that Trump will be much more interested in money than PR in the final days of his second term too. But he might not live that long, which must be excruciating if you're a wealthy crook.

Yeah, but he has a lot more money now - grifted literally billions - so I guess more is more, so idk.

you forget how racist trump is

Except he's not, and never has been. Quite the opposite in fact. Sure, he's made blunders out of naivety here and there just like everyone else on the planet, but he's never done or said anything overtly racist like Biden did on multiple occasions.

Why do people lie on the Internet? Trump is the most openly racist president in decades

This is a 5 minute search compared to your zero evidence.

This is 2 minutes of reading that NY Times piece:

- "A former hotel executive said Trump criticized a black accountant" OK, hearsay but OK.

- Trump doesn't like crime? Associating that with race makes the NY Times seem very racist.

- “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” - Islam isn't a race.

- Haiti is a shithole. It's not polite to say, but that's why people want to leave. The statement that Haiti isn't desirable has nothing to do with race.

- He claimed that the same caravan included “criminals and unknown Middle Easterners.” - and? Caravans from Mexico included a lot of people from unknown countries including some whose governments expouse wanting to kill Americans.

Virtually every American president is/was racist. If they weren't, they'd have more care and concern for the innocent lives taken by US created/backed wars/genocides.

Apparently his net worth peaked at a billion dollars. And he only got 4 years. By the time a pardon would be arranged, he'd almost be out again.

SBF has more than 20 years left.

that's it? seems low

Its volume pricing.

It's important to remember that Trump was actually relatively cash poor when he ran for president.

If you get rid of all his insane statements about his own wealth, his entire fortune boils down to a skyscraper, a resort, and a handful of piddling licensing deals. His realistic net worth was probably closer to, $500 million and the annual discretionary free cash flow closer to $20 - $40 million.

So, yeah. A single $2 million dollar ... erm... "emolument" would be something like 5-10% of his annual cashflow for a year. He might have taken over a 100 of these - that's a substantial boon!
