I mean . . . Yeah. We know. We’ve been watching it happen every goddamned day.

Thanks for the reminder Guardian. Maybe you could name and shame a little more? It’s not happening magically. People with names and institutions are doing this corruption, so. Map it out. kthx.

How do any remaining supporters justify this?

But he DOESNT take a Salary!

-Free Thinking NOT GULLIBLE Republicans!

I so want him and all of his family thrown into prison. It is all so brazenly corrupt.

And that $2.2B is just what he reported on his taxes--i.e. the technically legal income.

We could end this in a few weeks if we acted. Everyone wants to hold on to what little they have instead of losing it for a better future.

There is no need to stress. The next Democratic President will issue blanket pardons, will no do investigations, or Presidential Commissions, or anything that sort.

The Epstein Class always protects each other.

Wishing tons of non viloent misfurtunes to happen to all republicans.

He has set the precedent that presidents and their families can not only continue to run businesses while in office, but make governing decisions that lead to profit for those businesses. Oh, and getting payments for advertisements from the Resolute desk, and putting up paid advertisements on government property. Oh, and punish federal funding to states, companies, Universities, etc. for not following his executive orders, which are not laws, but are being treated as such.

The only way to remedy this, I figure, is to have a democrat in office do every. single. thing. he is doing in office, until each thing has a law created by the other branches of government to make it illegal going forward.

All that money and still an utterly worthless man.

Likewise some analysts are troubled by how Trump has circumvented the constitution’s prohibition on foreign emoluments by accepting a $400m plane as a gift from Qatar, and how other wealthy foreigners have backed some Trump family hotel and golf deals abroad.

Doesn't the constitution ban all emoluments?

Or is this just saying that the other reps are only outraged by accepting foreign bribes, because they all accept domestic bribes..

So glad we elected this guy again instead of putting him in prison...

an “unprecedented” $2.2bn in 2025 revenues by...expanding his Truth Social business and more

What? How does that make money? Is he selling sugar pills that claim to make your penis bigger or sth?

Edit:

Canter added that “Trump is increasingly dependent on the presidency to generate business profits since his media company has been losing money over the past several quarters.”

Trump Media & Technology, the company behind the Truth Social platform, on 10 August announced it lost a whopping $238m in the three months through June as it branched out into new businesses including crypto.

Oh, that sounds more correct

Many Americans seem to be fine with that, must be some kind of national kink.

As far as I can tell republicans chose this life for all of us because they were upset that:

They had to wear a mask during covid. Gay people are allowed to be happy. Obama wore a tan suit that one time. Buttery emails.

So now we all get to live shit hole life’s because the crabs at the bottom of the bucket decided to yank everyone down with them and install a king.

If you vote republican, fuck you, genuinely.

"But he doesn't even take a salary!" -MAGA Morons

Trump is the most openly American president to ever live. The stuff he does in the open, were happening in secret for decades. The secret is out.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

Just pure robbery in board daylight. Trump cultists don't care mind you these people were stuck on a laptop for like 5 years lmao.

Early access for 100k? Fuck me sideways. Some twats will do it.

And what's he even going to do with it? Dude is a walking caricature of American diet related health problems, in his 80s. Beyond the fact that so many groups would love to take a shot at him, he's pretty likely to take himself out within the next few years anyway.

So what's the point of getting absurdly rich? You can't take it with you, and he very obviously only cares about himself, so he isn't doing it for his family.

Second only to whoever ran the country from 2016-2020

We're going to do corruption like no one has ever seen before! It's going to be huge, so big... Beautiful, the corruption. Has anyone seen how beautiful my daughter, she isn't at all, God she's hot. No corruption there? Am I right? We're going to do corruption like the Democrats never could, there too weak. Medical people, you know we have the best, and the smartest, they all tell me I could be a doctor too, I'm so smart. Like Ivanka, and her soft thighs. A doctor like no other! One, not unlike Jesus, a man who I'm sure would also find Ivankas breasts lovely and full... and endorse, your favorite president for doctor. I have to talk to Harvard about making me one. Right?

Now isn't that funny? It cost MORE to make a rich person richer than it does to make me rich.

Go figure.
