    He and all his family are making billions off his big grift. It's so crazy that people still believe he's making their lives better. Mad hatters. The Trump cult are absolutely crazy to still keep believing he gives a sh*t about them. It's always been about him. Always.

    Here is the thing.
    They are ALL MORALLY AND ETHICALLY CHALLENGED
    While they make up every excuse under the sun for him
    the reality is there is only one guiding force. . one reason they support it . . . ..

    IF THEY WERE IN THE SAME POSITION THEY WOULD DO THE SAME THING

    YES - if they felt they could get away with it .. .they would be Grabbing P***Y all day every day
    IF they thought they could manipulate the market with no consequence. . they would

    Whether it's Crypto, drones, Trump properties abroad,
    They have their fingers in all the cookie jars.

    Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have met with high-level officials from eight foreign governments as the Trump Organization expands aggressively worldwide during President Trump’s second term. The meetings highlight the corruption risks of a president who owns a global business while in office: separate from the foreign policy of the Trump administration, the president’s sons are conducting undisclosed meetings with foreign leaders with the end goal of putting money in the president’s pocket.

    Don Jr. and Eric Trump have met with foreign leaders from Serbia, Hungary, the UK, Qatar, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Somaliland and Israel during the president’s second term. In 2024, the Trump Organization reportedly earned at least $87 million in business income through Trump-branded international projects alone, demonstrating the immense wealth the family is making from the pursuit of these foreign developments. Twenty-two Trump-branded developments are in the works internationally.

    Despite the clear conflicts of interest posed by the president’s sons doing business abroad while their father conducts U.S. foreign policy.

    https://www.citizensforethics.org/r...tries-as-trump-org-seeks-new-business-abroad/

    Eric and Don Jr. are backing myriad weapons technology companies, including drones, which are very much in demand in Iran conflict

    The Trump family stands to benefit financially from the war, and already are.

    Eric Trump also invests in Israeli drone firm and DoD contractor Xtend, whose “low cost-per kill” attack drones have been used by the IDF in Gaza. Expanding to the U.S., the company opened an office near Tampa last summer.

    Donald Trump Jr. has a $4 million stake in, and sits on the board of Unusual Machines, a drone parts startup. In December, it secured a $620 million DoD loan — the largest loan in the history of the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital — to make drone parts.

    Trump Jr. is a partner at 1789, a “patriotic capitalist” venture capital firm which backs a number of defense-tech startups. The firm, which Trump Jr. joined in November 2024 — right after his father was re-elected to the presidency — has since seen explosive growth: the assets it manages jumped in value from $150 million to more than $2 billion by the end of last year.

    Where was all the concern over Trump's financial condition when the liberals were attempting to bankrupt him with the E Jean Carroll lies and fake defamation and then the Mar-a-lago valuation hoax? But now when a successful business man makes investments, it must be corruption? LOL -- Trump has been doing business deals his whole life -- he's good at business. He makes money. It's what he does. Billionaire businessman.

    Biden was never a businessman -- he was a career politician. Hunter Biden was never a businessman -- a career grifter, druggie, and cheater. So when the Bidens got rich selling access to our government, that's a crime. Trump's family continuing their tradition of successful deal making is not a crime. It's that simple.

    Cry more amigos!


    GOOD DAY

    The desperation is hilarious by dumbass cultist. The Biden admin wasn't rewarding Pentagon contracts to Hunter nor did Republicans ever prove Biden ever did any favors for hunter. You have zero evidence that Biden admin ever did anything to help hunter.

    The Pentagon is back stopping a company who don Jr became a investor in after the elections. You dumbasses aren't fooling anyone with your low iq propaganda

    Your anger and hostility is a clear sing of a losing argument. Sorry amigo! I feel like I can smell both you and your debate loss!

    No evidence Biden did Hunter any favors? There's an abundance of evidence -- emails, meetings, phone call transcripts, visits to business partners on Hunter's behalf. The evidence was overwhelming... and obviously enough for Biden to see a clear path to guilt... otherwise, why pardon Hunter and so many family members?

    Or did you believe Hunter Biden was an international energy expert as well as having the artistic touch of Michaelangelo? LMAOOOOOO so naive!

    What nuts is Trump is such a con man at heart that he’s still doing two bit grifts like selling gold painted shoes and watches.

    Let's not forget that the main "witness" for you morons against Biden was a Russian spy who plead guilty to lying about all of it. Joe Biden never gave lucrative contracts or did anything for hunter other than saying hello to his associates

    What you MAGATs don't comprehend is nobody has an issue with Don Jr being on a board for a drone company. The issue is the Pentagon is rewarding that company with lucrative contracts which makes the entire thing corrupt as the drone company was a new company with zero track record.

    You people are sincerely the dumbest people in the world

    So not having a ratio of 95% liberal to 5% conservative faculty is stifling institutional autonomy? Having 100% liberal speakers vs 0 conservatives was the epitome of autonomy?

    This is the very reason sane minds (see Bill Ackman) rebelled against institutions because it was about indoctrination over education. An absolute joke of a graph.
