Washington Post Writer Suggests People Just Pay Trump To Resign

It’s been nearly a year and a half since Trump was elected POTUS, and since NONE of the so-called “Resistance’s” schemes to get him out of office have worked, this chick came up with a BRILLIANT plan.

Opinion: Let’s pay Trump to leave office https://t.co/n7beWxq93q

The writer of this STELLAR plan is Karen Attiah, a “Global Opinion Writer” for the Washington Post.

Way to go, Karen. You’re a REAL thinker.

She was proud of it, so she tweeted it from her personal account, too…

My latest.

Let’s just pay Trump to leave office.

I’m serious. Hear me out.

Basically, Karen says that Trump is like an African dictator and that we can just pay him off to leave.

Here’s where the money part comes in. Every year, the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, founded by a wealthy Sudanese businessman of that name, offers a prize of $5 million, payable over 10 years, to an African leader who exemplifies quality leadership. The prize, which was created in 2006, also offers the possibility of $200,000 per year for the rest of the winner’s life. The requirements? Change your country for the better, and step down at the end of your democratically elected term. Seems pretty easy — except Africa’s leadership has apparently been so bad over the past 12 years that only five presidents in the continent’s 54 countries have been given the prize. (Liberia’s Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was the 2018 awardee.)

I find it hard to believe that a number of African leaders who sit atop resource-rich countries and embezzle endlessly from the state would be motivated by a measly $5 million. But Trump, America’s first African president, just might be tempted by a nice payday. He may be rich, but he’s not Teodoro-Obiang-of-Equatorial-Guinea-level rich, you know? The promise of $10 million or $100 million (we have to offer him more than the Africans, of course) just might induce Trump to change course for the better. If cash prizes are supposedly good enough to improve democracy and development in Africa, they should be good enough for us, right?

Giiiirlll…. what?

Not only is this stupid… the example of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation doesn’t even WORK. These people are not paid to leave… they’re rewarded for positive leadership.

SO WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT, KAREN?

Which stage of grief is this? https://t.co/WTWiSHdaMS

Yes, let’s pay off a billionaire who donates his quarterly presidential salary to different causes. Good Lord, do you even THINK? https://t.co/0dF0rGgL8M

There is more intelligent political conversation scrawled on truck stop bathroom walls than this. The Post continues to humiliate itself. https://t.co/rmrN18d0O7
