Donors to the Trump inaugural committee got ambassador nominations


OMGno2trump, 19m19 minutes ago
For the record, we now know that Trump charges $350,000 for ambassador positions. Seems pretty cheap. Until you figure that 14 times that equals almost $5,000,000 in Trump's corrupt pocket. He literally sold ambassadorships. He sold out America.

We've had some dillies representing us. Political contributions need seriously regulated and exposed to sunlight. Ambassadors need to least be able to converse in the languages of they country they post in.

Besides military academies we need a foreign officers school, too. And kill the big money contributions.

That is the only position her bankrolling the GOP "qualified" her for.
