This is open extortion using the power of the executive branch. Literally providing free services in order to not be targeted by an elected leader? Yikes.

Is he just bullying people into gicing him free stuff now?
This isn't bullying. This is corruption/bribery.
Extortion.
Well anything he has done since january was corruption anyway.
The article definitely isn't too long...
But tldr:
Yes, that's exactly what's happening
Rescinding a TARGETED executive order after the Victims agree to give you FREE THINGS is how we KNOW Trump is NOT Corrupt!
To avoid the consequences of Trump’s order, the White House said, the firm had agreed to “take on a wide range of pro bono matters that represent the full spectrum of political viewpoints of our society”.
"To avoid legal repercussions we offered the US president a bribe" FTFY
This reads as if the offer came from the other side.
"To avoid legal repercussions, you can offer the US president a bribe."
So basically extortion or protection money.
Wow, how prestigious of a law firm that can't even fight against something so blatantly illegal
Who's enforcing the law?
This miserable attempt at an administration is quite obviously the most openly and blatantly venal "mobigarchy" as has existed in at least my lifetime (65+yrs) and more than likely in the history of the US.
It is literally Mob (read: Mafia) Rule.
Fuck these criminal bastards and the 77M morons who voted them into office.
🤦♀️ 🤷♂️ 🤡 🖕 🖕
Every day things keep getting worse...

I understand this reference.
The administration full of millionaires and billionaires who received the largest inauguration fund in history needs a law firm to do free work for them.
Straight up, blatant grift. At least egg prices are low, right?
Extortion, bootlicking, and corruption. Just another day in America.
He's fucking winning...
We're tired of it.
