The corruption of the Trump White House is absolutely all day, every day. There is something corrupt going on. And so you have his two sons, Dumb and Dumber, aka Don Jr. and Eric, sit down for an interview. They don't try to deny the corruption. They make no bones about the corruption. They're all in on the corruptions and they're even victims of corruption. Here they go. What the critics would say, they'd say that the credibility factor is the Trump name and the Trump White House and that everyone, you know, is here to curry favor. I think again, the great irony is they didn't give us much of a choice when you had every they created this monster. When you had every either one of us could have called any banker in New York over the last 20 years and gotten a loan for a building. And, you know, we just realized we were sort of at the top of the Ponzi scheme that was banking. I mean, like, what? So it's okay. They're not denying it. Here's what I'm hoping for. I'm hoping for a massive investigation when we finally have sane leadership led by Democrats, led by people with ethics into the Trump family. They have gotten so rich. And what's so interesting about it is I have heard allies, their political allies, get on Fox News and other networks and say, well, the reason we were so mad about Hunter Biden selling paintings, it was on the down low, but the Trumps are doing it all out front. And so you have dumb and dumber sitting down for an interview and saying, yeah, what's the big deal? Of course that we're incurring favor. Like, why are we so dumb that we think that's corruption? Because that's exactly what they're doing. And then they go into the victimhood, which I guess should not surprise us, given who their father is, the number one victim on planet Earth, because everybody chose not to continue relationships with Donald Trump after the January 6th insurrection. And everybody knew that he was part of it. So here's their response. When you had every big bank in the world for doing nothing wrong, just based on the fact that we all wore a hat that said, make America great again, my father happened to be running as a Republican, canceled us. I mean, I was getting these calls. 300 bank accounts, Capital One, in the middle of the night. These are commercial buildings residential buildings golf courses around the world These aren political entities And they were pulling these accounts like us from us like we were we absolute dogs We couldn pay our vendors We couldn pay employees And so we said listen there has to be a better way There has to be a better way. They're used to being able to do that to people who have no ability to fight back. The banks chose to stop doing business with Donald Trump after the January 6th insurrection. It was not because he was a Republican. It was not because he wore a Make America Great Again hat. It was because he incited a conspiracy to overthrow the United States government. That's why. So then they justify that they have to do this and they have to sell favor and they have to be corrupt because they were left with no choice, because they couldn't pay their vendors. It's unbelievable how these two who are just morons will sit down and say the quiet part out loud. And everybody's just like, okay, well, you know, Trump's the con man. That's what Trump does. It's unbelievable. Okay. And then we have Trump is selling everything and he's selling so much of the United States to the Middle East. We saw that with Qatar. He accepted a $400 million dollar plane that the American people are going to pay a billion dollars to retrofit and do all the Air Force One stuff, then he's going to keep it. He's getting all these sweetheart deals, investing in his bullshit crypto company. But when this comes out, it's just, it's inexcusable. And so an Emirati royal bought a 49% stake in Trump's crypto company. And then Trump approved the sale of AI chips to the UAE despite US intelligence concerns. Trump literally sold out our national security for financial gain. It's Trump's 2.0's largest corruption scandal yet, and that is a high, high bar. And she goes on to say, I led my colleagues in demanding the Commerce Department Inspector General immediately investigate this staggering conflict of interest. I appreciate that she's turned it in to be investigated by the Inspector General. The problem is the Trump administration has gotten rid of most Inspector Generals, and even the ones that stayed on are more loyal to Trump in most cases, not all, but in the cases that we're seeing one one right after the other, to be involved in his administration, you must be an absolute loyalist. It loyalty to Donald Trump first second and third The United States nowhere on the board So I do not have a lot of faith in an investigation by the inspector general but I do believe as these corrupt deals continue to come forward, and it's a quid pro quo every time. Somebody gives Trump a lot of money, they get what they want. you know, anything that is done, it's transactional. He has always been very transactional. So I'm hoping that this lays the foundation for a huge investigation after his presidency, that they look into every deal that he made, see what secrets, what was compromised. And if his own intelligence is telling him they have concerns about this. His own intelligence, I have zero confidence in. You have Tulsi Gabbard, who has been alleged for years to be an agent of the Russian government. So I don't have a lot of confidence in his intelligence department. But the fact that even his intelligence says, I'm not sure, that's a huge red flag. And it is not the first. It will not be the last. The corruption continues to grow. And we've seen reports. We saw a report of $4 billion he's made. I think the president and his family have made roughly $4 billion by leveraging his position, often while engaging in stark conflicts of interest. Wouldn't it be nice if a conflict of interest was something that was taken seriously? That the conflict of interest would actually be an ethical and moral standard that the president and his administration followed. But I'm not naive. I do not think they give a shit about the conflicts of interest, but it is so obvious based on the money that comes in, the favors and approvals that go out. It's a quid pro quo. It's transactional. They're not even trying to hide it. Given that, again, hopefully it will be investigated because Trump has done nothing. I think he sat down in this administration and said, how much money can I make? How much power can I take? How much money can I make? I don't give a shit about ordinary citizens. We hear him all the time saying the economy's great. Everything's hunky-dory. Well, of course it is for him. He's made $4 billion in a year that we can put our fingers on. What has he made that we can put our fingers on That to me is probably as much if not more with all this shady crypto stuff and so many untraceable transactions that what we can see And then one thing that didn surprise me at all but I just had to bring it to everybody attention. We know that Trump wants everything named after him. He wants the Trump ballroom. He wants to have an arch in his honor. I mean, he would tear down the White House and make it in his image if he could. But so he has gotten some Florida representative in Palm Beach to rename the airport in Palm Beach, the hotbed of all the Epstein files. But that's just an aside. They're going to rename the airport in the name of Trump. So the Trump family company has filed to trademark the use of the president's name on airports, but it says it doesn't plan on charging a fee, at least for a proposed renaming of one near his Florida home. Here's the thing. He's trademarked several names like Donald Trump Airport, DJT Aviation, all of these things surrounding this airport. It's licensing. He is going to grift off a name change, which that is not normal. We are not living in normal times. One might say that's a conflict of interest or it's unethical, but that's every day in Trump 2.0. That's what they do. That's who they are. They're not trying to hide it. And so I look at, he's trying to get a New Jersey tunnel named after him? Is he going to do the same thing there? There is nothing that he will not put his name on so he can sell it, i.e. Trump Bibles, Trump watches, Trumpy trouts. The list goes on and on. The flea market that he has with all his trinkets, the NFT, the crypto, the meme coins, there's nothing he won't put his name on to sell. So now he's got some guy in Florida named the Palm Beach airport after him. And the Republicans in Florida would not sign an amendment that said he can't profit off of it. So if anybody thinks this is not a revenue stream for him and his bozo children, they are wrong. It is going to happen. This man, as we always say, you cannot shame the shameless, but he has no shame. And in my opinion, he has no care nor concern with policy or what's going on for the average American citizen as long as he is making money. So we're going to stay on this.
