Today has been a terrible day for Trump. First the comment about being attacked by Mexicans. Then this:

What in the actual fuck.

His airplane Mexican thing was so stupid but I guess people are used to it because didn't see many people reporting it.

wtf I saw a headline about Trump pointing at a random plane and calling it a Mexican fighter jet but I thought it was for a satirical article! I guess I shouldn't be surprised by any absurd turd this man mouth shits into the world.

How can it be a 'may have'? It's illegal for US politicians to get money from foreign nationals, period. He's sending begging letters all over the planet, apparently. How do they even pretend that's not so fucking wrong?

It's illegal to solicit money from foreign nationals in and of itself. If Trump's campaign has accepted money from a foreign national, there should be additional charges.

Exactly. I hate this kid-glove treatment.

Well, as a governmental agency I don't think they can officially say "he broke the law" until he's been charged, tried, and convicted. None of which has happened yet.

Trump has been scuppered by his own son.

Thank you, OP, for indicating your source. Have a completely OT article about Iceland and England that is totally not from The Onion:
