The Spin

Democratic narrative

Thursday's bombshell report confirms that former Pres. Donald Trump used his position as president to enrich himself and his businesses. He must be penalized for accepting millions of dollars from foreign countries without congressional approval. While the $7.8M in payments is still a damning figure, it's likely only a fraction of the money Trump received to betray his oath to the Constitution.

Republican narrative

It's vital to point out that Trump had abdicated all of his business dealings upon winning the presidency, and secondly, the US Supreme Court has struck down ridiculous emoluments clause lawsuits against Trump. The Democrats and their corporate media allies are blowing up a bogus report to distract the public from Pres. Joe Biden's decades of corruption and the millions of dollars he took to do the bidding of foreign regimes.
