If presidential policy is 100 percent transactional, if everything is strictly pay-for-play and pay-for-access then any corporation is not only foolish to not ante up and reserve their place at the table, they're falling behind their competitors...

Nevermind the fact that we all know Donnie isn't above passing petty bits of "revenge legislation" just to punish companies that displease him...

The real problem is so much of Donnie's grifting has been 100% normalized that nobody in the media even knows what "corruption" is anymore. And those who do know won't say lest Donnie and Elmer threaten to shut them down or sue them to bankruptcy...

NBC and ABC have already set a really ugly precedent for obediently falling in line... It's all downhill from here.
