I honestly can't tell if this is a joke or what.

So he's just like the Catholic Church now!

He really wants to be the Pope of the United States (POTUS)

Didn't this shit start the Protestant reformation? The selling of indulgences?

It's okay everyone, i know this looks like corruption, but it's really not. As per the supreme court, the campaign donation wasn't actually delivered personally to donald trump in a large bag with a dollar sign on it as they said, "I am giving you this money so that you will use your powers as the president if the united states to grant me a pardon." While grinning conspiratorially and twirling the end of their mustache. So we can all calm down and focus on more important things, like how trump raped children.
