So who wouldn’t want to be president? Especially if you lack ethics and moral boundaries. A Midas treasure is there for the taking.
Just ask our current president. And his family. And his business associates.
Well at least those that he hasn’t left holding the bag while he pockets a bajillion dollars.
Trump took in about $1.4B from cryptocurrency ventures last year.
Trump made more than $500M from the World Liberty Financial venture with his sons and Zach Witkoff. The CEO and son of Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East. Much of that money came when an investment fund associated with the leadership of the United Arab Emirates bought almost half of World Liberty Financial.
The president of the United States has made more money off crypto since he took office than he made in any prior year in his entire business career.
Market analysts point out that Trump is essentially day trading. Including in companies operating in sectors where the Trump administration is actively focused on setting policy.
Trump owns between $12.5M and $58M in NVIDIA. And between $9.5M and $46.5M in Amazon. Both companies whose fortunes rise and fall based on decisions made in the White House.
The day before Trump paused tariffs for 90 days, his investment accounts took advantage of the market lows caused by the tariffs to buy as much as $12.8M worth of stocks.
His announcement of the pause caused a huge spike in stock values. The S&P jumped nearly 10%. One the biggest gains in their history.
Trump neglected to report the transactions for almost a year past the required deadline, so he had to pay a $200 penalty.
Wow what a cost of doing business.
Pay-to-play schemes. Pardons for donors. Contracts for friends. Favors for Trump’s children. Insider trading on a massive scale. This is not a disconnected series of scandals. This is a deliberate system.
Government is supposed to serve us. It is supposed to lower costs, supposed to protect our families, strengthen our schools, make life better for people.
But Trump believes that government exists to serve him—to make him richer, to protect his friends, to reward his donors. He doesn’t have time to solve real problems because he’s busy making money for himself and his friends.
The White House is not a business opportunity. The presidency is not a license to steal from the American people. The government of the United States doesn’t exist to make Donald Trump rich. It belongs to we the people.
500 days of unprecedented corruption. This should be a national crisis. So why is the GOP Congress silent?
Silence = complicity = dereliction = vote the bums out.
