I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight while males, since they're already in the majority.

I got paid a half million less than the $500,000 which Bill Clinton got from Russians as a "speaking fee" (bribe) while Hillary Clinton was our secretary of state.
Outside your bubble, there were Trump signs everywhere and giant rallies. Yes, really, a large part of America loves President Trump. The vast majority of the counties voted for him. If you aren't seeing that, you aren't seeing America. We love our president, and you should too. (an exception: feel free to hate him if you are not a citizen)

Translation: Trump won the rural vote.
Why?
I didn't love Obama, Bush, or Clinton. Do you have a politician fetish?

Take a big drive. Loop around the country by car, avoiding interstates and the stuff within a couple dozen miles of the coast. America is rural.

Translation: When planning a road trip through rural parts of the country, avoid population dense areas.
This is getting pretty funny. I don't even know what point you're trying to make besides finding different ways to describe rural areas.
What's next, "randomly throw a dart at the map of the US - it will most likely land in a rural area"?

Donald Trump Jr. is getting $100,000 for university speech sponsored by GOP donor’s company [washingtonpost.com]

That isn't even remotely similar aside from being a paid speech.
There is a group that sponsors events to fund National Merit Scholarships for UNT students. It's funded by various corporations, probably as a mix of good PR, trying to win favor with employable students, and CEOs having a personal desire to help the university. Being in Texas, obviously the companies and the speakers and the students are all generally conservative Americans.
There is a legit purpose here, that being the scholarships. There isn't a foreign connection. There isn't even really a business connection; all you have is that companies which donate to the GOP also happen to donate for National Merit Scholarships at a school in Texas.
This is yet another nothingburger.
Bill Clinton on the other hand, didn't have any good purpose for giving a speech in Russia. It's hard to imagine any non-corrupt reason that Russians would pay him.

You're right, they're very dissimilar.
Bill Clinton's $500k Russia speech is an unproven allegation. [snopes.com]
Whereas my Trump Jr article includes the actual contract.

I'm at a loss, did I miss a news article about Trump giving that company our nuclear stockpile for pennies on the dollar?

I am at a loss as to what "didn't happen"
Selling the Russian's Uranium? Or the Clintons receiving money from several people closely associated with Uranium One and Bill receiving speaking fees?
Both happened. The best you can claim is that it was just coincidence. It all comes down to whether you think a woman who lied at being shot at in Kosovo, has promised on tape her funders different things than her voters, and was fired from her first law job for lying, is telling the truth about receiving a ton of money from Uranium One associates and then helping lubricate the wheels in getting a transfer approved.

Bill Clinton's $500k Russia speech is proven. The only thing unproven is pay-for-play, but... why exactly would Russians desire so strongly to hear Bill Clinton speak?
We have pictures of Bill Clinton in Russia for the speech:

Fuck, that is a dozen foreign countries while his wife was secretary of state.
Trump Jr gave a speech in Texas. You might not have realized it, but Texas is within the United States of America. It's not foreign.

He was exporting "speech" (aka hot air) and bringing good money in USA, what's wrong with that?
That's still a job you won't see taken by robots any time soon, in fact I would suggest you open an university course for that.
