I hope they all go to prison one day

These people are dealing in millions, when I am dedicated to paying back 80k in student loans.

And they want to malign me, and I’m not asking for loan forgiveness. I mean they malign me for even *desiring* to hope that I wouldn’t have to sacrifice this much for my education.

That’s economically top of mind for me.

Congressional Dems are probing millions pledged to Trump's planned library, questioning the fund's status after the original fund dissolved. ABC, Meta, Paramount and X committed $63 million through settlements. The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Fund was dissolved last year, raising concerns about fund allocation. “Now it is unclear where this money has gone, exacerbating concerns about corruption that were apparent at the time of the settlement,” the lawmakers wrote.

Trump’s bottom line: grifting off my presidency is OK as long as I personally get something from it. If I don’t, I am offended by that grift.

I remember a time when republican posters on this forum were complaining about the Obama’s pricey vacation home on Martha’s Vineyard and wondering where they got the money to buy it.

Question: when Trump leaves office and if he is replaced by a Democrat, can any of these people be prosecuted, apart from the ones whose cases were settled?

There are too many to count. Bumping also. Please keep posting. The grift is spectacular, right out in the open. They will do it forever if they can keep ahold of the presidency and control of Congress. The American people are screwed.

Trump says war will end soon decreasing oil prices temporarily before reversing his position a few hours later and saying war could continue. Would be interesting to evaluate who placed trades taking place during that time. SEC should investigate (but of course won't)

Starting with the Trump sons.

A defense contract can not enrich the family.of a sitting president who just launched a war. That is ridiculous. Is that not illegal?

Congress doesn't care. They just sit on their hands. All of them. And if a federal worker lets someone buy them a cup of coffee, oh FFS the world as we know it has ended and they must suffer for it!

Trump's World Liberty Foundation would be all over the front page of Fox News if it were a Democratic president engaging in these very obvious illegal quid pro quo schemes.

It's a cryptocurrency venture backed by Donald Trump and his family, has faced allegations of potential quid pro quo arrangements, where the project’s business dealings overlap with political favors and policy changes. Serves as Trump to profit from the presidency with 60% of the company owned by a Trump entity.

Crypto billionaire Justin Sun invested $75 million into WLF, after which the SEC paused a fraud investigation into his companies.

After a United Arab Emirates-based fund invested $100 million in WLF, the Trump administration approved the sale of advanced Nvidia AI chips to the UAE.

-$2 billion investment deal involving Binance and a presidential pardon for its former CEO, Changpeng Zhao.

Timing of WLF's launch and subsequent investments coincided with a shift in Trump's stance on cryptocurrency from calling it a "scam" to actively supporting the industry, including appointing industry insiders to regulatory positions.

Another recent example of trying to cash in on the presidency.
