Oh, I get it now. If you run on an "America first" platform, you purposely buy your suits and ties in China and have dealings with Chinese companies where you receive all kinds of kickbacks and bribes so that you'll make your point?
There it is again!
Let me try to explain this to you.
That's not how kickbacks and bribes work.
If you are paying someone to make you ties, or suits, or something they don't give you kickbacks and bribes. Then you would just be getting your own money back.
You give them bribes, to grease the wheels and get your product made and moved around.
To get your deals approved.
You can't bribe someone to buy ties from you, because it would cost you money. You would simply make the price of the ties such that you win the sale. If your ties cost more, then the bribe would have to be equal to the savings in which case you would cut the price of the ties.
Are you talking about embezzling?
