I don’t want to be overly argumentative about this, but Trump is 100% quid pro quo.
At least, he wants payback (and then some) if he thinks he’s helped someone gain something (and in many cases, like Ukraine, even if he hasn’t).
Totally agreed. You scratch my back, I’ll screw you. I doubt he ever actually gives anyone anything first. Maybe a promise of something. Once he gets his, you’re not getting anything in return.
Sounds like a Ferengi.
