    All the billionaires tagging along with him in China are profiting more than ever after donating big to Trump or investing in his businesses. It's a small circle of folks who are seeing the "Golden Age" and not the average American. The oil companies are profiting big, the tech moguls are profiting big, the defense contractors are profiting big, and the entire Trump family is in on the take. Meanwhile, who cares about inflation, healthcare, and the struggles folks are having to pay bills? Not those guys.

    I think I need to setup an AI to track Trump and Trump friends movements and conversations.
    Then have them pick out which ones industries will be affected and how.

    OMG. Dude spends hundreds of thousands to millions a day. Notice the names on the sales over a million. Tit for tat favors, donations, or what? Some of those folks are in his China entourage. I got tired of scrolling through it all. Just think of all the hidden money in crypto cash, dark money and stuff funneled in that isn't even listed.
    The grift is on, that's for sure.

    Every single person slandered and lied about maliciously, had their copyrighted music used without permission, and sexually assaulted and abused by Trump needs to drop 10 billion dollar lawsuits. Imagine if all the folks physically or sexually abused or molested, terrorized or threatened by federal officials all filed 10 billion dollar lawsuits against the government. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, but, the government would go broke.

    I have to disclose on triplicate if I grab dinner with a commercial entity, yet these brazen assholes can move billions through illicit channels while the rest of the federal government closes their eyes shouting "if I don't see it, it's not illegal!" and the supreme court declaring Trump cannot commit a crime.

    If this **** doesn't enrage you as an American then you're a lost cause. They're literally looting taxpayers to the tune of billions.

    How in the hell is this not embezzlement @Nook @StupidMoniker

    It would have to be technically illegal to be embezzlement. It is just very like embezzlement. I would predict no charges ever come out of it, but it is certainly one more waste of my tax dollars. Reason 9,426,883 that Americans should not be paying federal income tax.

    This is reason 1 and is hands down the most corrupt thing anyone has ever done in American history. He sues himself to "settle" with an agency he controls and then creates a slush fund of billions which only he controls and can dictate who gets what

    Unbelievable the amount of corruption were witnessing in real time. If this does not piss you off then youre a ****ing moron

    Or Americans should not elect corrupt individuals. Or if they didn't know, they need to kick them out ASAP once they find out.

    We all now know clearly.

    That would cover this particular waste of my money, but not the millions of others. If we weren't being taxed, if the federal government had very little power and influence, this wouldn't be happening, but also lots of other bull the government does wouldn't be happening. If all the government did was regulate commerce between the states and with foreign countries, create the laws for naturalization and bankruptcy, coin money, deliver mail, build roads, settle legal disputes, and defend the country, no one would care who was in congress or who was president.
