@gleick He cares as much about US law as he does about international law.

@gleick so i guess the money will be going to him directly

So they'll call it an executive agreement and get away with it? 😕🤷‍♂️

@gleick Trump paying himself a bribe of $1bn of US funds could be tricky even for him.

@gleick
It should be renamed The Board of Appease(ing Trump)

@gleick Sure Your spineless "opposition" won't vote with him?

@gleick Alternatively, trade agreements have been passed by having Congress enact a law, rather than by treaty. But yes, Trump can't commit the country to something like this on his own.

@gleick

He does not even know that, nor do his hand picked yes men…

@gleick It's just another vehicle for collecting bribes.

@gleick Forgive me a basic question but is it constituted by treaty?

@gleick @vmstan Let’s call it what it is: a board of authoritarian billionaires over which Trump has unilateral authority to accept or decline membership.

@gleick
The Board of Mobsters International. Services include embezzlement, blackmail, coercion, extortion, kidnappeing, trafficking of minors, priracy, mercenary services, murder (this week's special discount on high treason and murders by drone. ask for special conditions).

@gleick what a very good point!
Of course he’s proposing to chair the board as an individual, not ex oficio. And the board can’t do anything without his permission and they can’t vote him out.

In reality, he is putting himself forward personally as President of the world.

@gleick but he’s collecting all the money? #felon47 continuing the grift

@gleick Well, no other country is a member yet, either. I doubt joining has been formally approved in any country. None of the so-called members are absolute monarchies or de jure dictatures, so just the head of state signing something doesn't mean the country becomes a member.

@gleick it's a Boys Club, not an international organisation

@gleick
#BoardOfPiece

@gleick They abdicated that authority to him already.
