President Trump told an audience in North Carolina that if Republicans retain control of Congress in the upcoming November midterm elections, he would direct the Justice Department to quickly settle “all remaining legitimate claims” related to contaminated water at the nearby Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, where thousands of cases remain unresolved.

“If we don’t win, there’s no money,” Trump said Tuesday night at a campaign rally in Greenville. “If we do win, you’re getting it. It’s going to be finally over with, that nightmare that’s been going on for so many years. We will never abandon the heroes who served America.”

    Literally all he has is bribery and quid pro quo. Such a pathetic ‘businessman’.

    He’s no deal maker, just a petty extortionist.

      It’s not even bribery. It’s just an empty promise that, if he gets his way, the check will be in the mail.

      And once he gets what he wants, he’ll never keep his word. He never does.

      All his business prowess comes from an endless line of lawyers. He couldn’t run a lemonade stand without fucking things up 7 different ways.
