Last year, President Donald Trump was impeached for using the power of the Oval Office to benefit his reelection chances.

The White House was holding up congressionally approved aid to Ukraine when Trump spoke to its newly elected President. Trump asked him to "do us a favor" and investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's ties to an energy company there, falsely claiming Biden improperly used his office to oust a prosecutor investigating the company.

Trump fervently denounced the existence of a "quid pro quo," but at a rally on Monday, the President presented a hypothetical that sparked more concerns about similar White House corruption.

Watch below.

The President was lamenting Biden's recent record-breaking campaign donations, insisting that he could raise those kinds of funds too if he were to use his executive powers.

Trump said:

"But when I started calling, I would be the greatest fundraiser in history ... So I call some guy at the head of Exxon, I called ahead of Exxon, I don't know, I'll use a company. 'Hi, how you doing? How's the energy coming? When are you doing the exploration? Oh, you need a couple of permits. Huh? Okay.' But I call the head of Exxon, I say, 'I'd love you to send me $25 million for the campaign.'"

The clip generated confusion at first, with many thinking that Trump was using an actual example.

This led the oil company used in the President's hypothetical, ExxonMobil, to issue a statement insisting that the President never spoke to them.

Again, Trump was lambasted for fueling chaos with off-the-cuff statements and not recognizing the power of his words while in office.





While the situation was hypothetical, some had no doubt that Trump wouldn't hesitate to execute it in real life.



Trump's former Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, was the CEO of ExxonMobil until his appointment at the White House.

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled JD Vance Over Tariffs With An AI Video About Couches

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Vice President JD Vance—and his love of couches—with an AI-generated video to troll him over the rising costs of goods due to President Donald Trump's retaliatory tariffs.

Earlier this week, Trump announced new tariffs: 10% on softwood timber and lumber, and 25% on “certain upholstered wooden products,” set to take effect October 14. The move follows Trump’s announcement last week of additional tariffs on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and other upholstered products, which will take effect October 1.

College Announcer Apologizes After Sparking Outrage With Body-Shaming Comment About Plus-Size Dance Team

In the United States, there are 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)—schools founded when segregation laws and racist policies kept Black men and women from higher education. The schools developed their own unique culture and customs around stepping, marching band, drum majors, and majorettes.

HBCU majorettes march with the band, dance, and have stand battles during games. The dance style and moves are unique to Black culture, but have spread beyond the HBCUs to high schools and dance schools across the country.
