    so his 1bn offer to join his “board of peace” is not an actual offer, but another 1bn extortion? I wouldn’t have guessed…

      No, you only read the headlines apparently. The 1bn is only due if you want to be a member for longer than three years (other factors may turn that into a subscription extortion later down the line, but at this moment, Trump only wants to force the free trial period onto countries).
