Didn’t ask about the 400M jet from Qatar, so what’s the deal now? Theatrics, knowing full well youre getting nowhere but wasting time from the real issues like EPSTEIN
Global extortion racket goes brrrrrr. There will be no recovery until his and his regime are removed from power and jailed, he will not leave by any other process aside from just dying, and even then I wouldn’t put it past the administration to use his image and AI to continue their assault on America.
None of us could afford to, but DAMN is it cheap to buy Diaper Don (relatively speaking). The tariff revenue that Americans would generate on Swiss imports FAR exceeds the value of a watch and a bar of gold.
Bribing politicians is cheap, it’s generally millions for billions and more like 100k to billion for small politicians.
NOW they want answers? Quatar gave him a 400 million dollar airplane (surely bugged) but you’re drawing the line at a 20K Rolex with a gold bar?
Those Quataris really will be face palming now, seeing they could have bribed him so so much cheaper. They gave the ficker and airplane and he still fucked them over anyways
So just to help those corrupt fraudsters a little bit: BRIBING TRUMP DOESNT WORK
He will turn around tomorrow and fuck the Swiss right in the ass again anyway because of course he will, it’s trump, he will have forgotten all about his Rolex by tomorrow and wonder why he’s being so nice with the Swiss
He can’t be that cheap. A rolex isn’t all that expensive, considered the money involved in geopolitics. In fact it’s spare change for diplomatic events. And neither is a single gold bar.
The conspiracy brain tells me some swiss diplomat pulled these from Trump’s own safety deposit box as a “we have the skeletons from your closet”-statement and handed them to him as a “diplomatic gift” when it actually was just a threat that he caved to.
Surprisingly ‘watch diplomacy’ is as old mechanical artefacts are…some famous examples include the Breguet ‘king Farouk’, some beautiful sets of pocket watches made for the emperor of China, pre revolution of course. Other arteafcts include Faberge’s ‘eggs’ and jewelry that belonged to the Romanov family… All swiss and european gifts of course.
You can now buy the ‘king Farouk’ breguet model, but both faberge’s eggs and the Chinese emperor’s collections are in museums.

There are many sizes of gold bar though. A 12.4 kg bar is fairly pricey.
The overall value is estimated in the article, which is pretty expensive yes, but given the reduction of the tarriffs might as well be an investiment
That’s roughly the price of a 1 kg bar.
Some people are reeeally slow in catching on…
Hi Senator,
It was a bribe. Hope that answers your questions.
Sincerely, Everyone with a functioning brain.
I think the world is starting to find out that co-operation is the preferred way forward for the earthly citizens, rather than the current destructive dying beast that is capitalism.
They play him like a fiddle.
Hey look more naked corruption
100k investment 1000000k payout.
In old country, is called ‘bribe’.
Wyden “wants answers”? Here’s your answer: Are you still sailing down De river Nial? Look into the Don’s pig-like eyes. He is the captain now, in control of the government and supported by the majority political party, his own private army, and the corrupt SCOTUS majority he set up in his first term.
Haven’t you noticed, Wyden? Anyone who ever opposed him, ever made fun of him, or isn’t going along with him is either being “investigated” or arrested and charged with made up crimes (if a lib) or ousted from their positions of power and threatened with worse (if a repub), not to mention getting mentioned in mean tweets that mobilize his minions to go after them. It’s Pay to Play now (in gold is always a nice touch).
The last shreds of the Constitution were thrown out on January 20th, 2025. There are no rules, laws are decreed by the Boss, subject to change at a whim, and only the rest of us are required to follow them.
Choose your Side. Whining is not a strategy. If that’s all you can do, get out and make room for someone with a spine.
Trump likes bribes. There’s your answer.
Its fine. I’m sure, just like the jet, they will be “donated” to his presidental library but for security, of course, he will need to take them with him everywhere at all times.
