When a businessman is about to sign a check to someone who owes him something, he said, the businessman asks that person to pay up before signing the check.” 3:51 PM · Oct 22, 2019·Twitter for iPad In this case "the businessman" was using the American taxpayer's money to write the cheque in exchange for the political favors. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
