Oh, and yeah. That’s Trump’s body.
Dude, it’s a drawing. It’s not any more realistic than an animation cell.

What or who is this "other choice" and what made you believe that this "other choice" would have been bought off with a $500 Ernest & Gallo Gift Card?

Speaking quite seriously, there is no precedent in all of our history of corruption on this scale. I really think you need to go to post soviet Russia or post-colonial Africa to see analogs. And even those might require adjusting for GDP.

Seems legit.
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Donald Trump’s administration last month awarded a contract worth up to $1.2 billion to build and operate what it says will become the nation’s largest immigration detention complex, it didn’t turn to a large government contractor or even a firm that specializes in private prisons.
Instead, it handed the project on a military base to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small business that has no listed experience running a correction facility and had never won a federal contract worth more than $16 million. The company also lacks a functioning website and lists as its address a modest home in suburban Virginia owned by a 77-year-old retired Navy flight officer.

Eric Trump’s net worth has increased from ~40MM to around 750MM since his dad won the election.
Don Jr went from ~50MM to $500MM
Trump himself is up around $3B
From the presidency.
I know. I know. The paintings.

Someone's jealous. Meanwhile, the politics-to-wealth pipeline has existed forever, and not just for Hunter Biden. The outsized wealth generated here is due to crypto, I assume. This is opportunistic capitalization on the zeitgeist, but not corruption per se.

It is corruption, but not illegal. Like the paintings.
Still, I think you'd find the Trump family's corruption, as measured in dollars, to exceed the sum of any and all corruption of the other 44 men who held the office combined.
If you don't take it, it can only good happen.
