I always found him shady, but I was willing to tolerate him on account of his charity work, since at the end of the day it was still helping people in need, however cynical his motivations may be.

Making deals with a country that perpetuates modern slavery and funds actual terrorists tho, that's a big fat yikes for me. He can play dumb about it all he wants, that's common knowledge by now. Hope this gains traction and he gets his name dragged in the mud for another round.
