The Founders warned you about a man like Trump and you ignored them.
The founders explicitly warned of the dangers of a demagogue; the poison of hyper partisanship; corruption, and foreign influence; the politicization of religion; erosion of the separation of powers.
And this is the nightmare America finds its in today.
Donald Trump stole $1.3M from National Park funds for Italian granite to pave a walkway near the Oval Office
He lied to your face, claiming he paid for it. Taxpayers funded his vanity project while parks crumble
This is blatant corruption and a pure abuse of power
I understand there are levels of corruption in Washington.
There always have been, but this is ridiculous.
Anyone apologizing for Trump on the corruption or giving him an alibi, you’re part of a cult.
Try to get yourself deprogrammed. @philrosenn
@smerconish One of your worst hour of @smerconish . Awful premise on how visitors feel about America. Out of towners enjoying Beef Jerky, while scratching their head on voters electing a Donald Trump isn't what id call flag waving.
Trump got exposed for running the biggest insider trading operation in American history.
Nancy Pelosi traded $5 million in stocks and Congress lost its mind.
Trump literally executed $750 MILLION worth of stock trades in ONE quarter while being President.
His ethics filing just dropped and the numbers are genuinely unprecedented in history:
Between January and March 2026, Donald Trump personally executed 3,700 individual stock transactions worth between $220 million and $750 million.
That's roughly 60 trades PER DAY.
While signing executive orders, meeting foreign leaders, and making policy decisions that directly impact the companies he's buying and selling.
Now here's where it gets really insane:
On February 10, Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock.
Three months later, on May 8, he stood at a Mother's Day event at the White House, thanked Michael Dell by name, and told Americans to "go out and buy a Dell."
Dell stock surged 14.6% that day to an all-time high of $263.99.
Since Trump's February purchase, Dell is up 96%.
And 5 months BEFORE Trump bought Dell stock, Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a sitting president's signature program in modern history.
So the timeline goes: Dell donates $6.25 billion to Trump's program -> Trump buys Dell stock ->Trump tells America to buy Dell from the White House podium -> Stock hits all-time high
And that's just ONE stock...
The same filing shows Trump bought Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a massive chip deal with Meta.
He bought more Nvidia stock one week BEFORE his own Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia.
He bought Intel stock starting in March 2026. The US government already owned a 9.9% stake in Intel worth over $41 billion. On April 30, Trump posted on Truth Social praising Intel, writing that "Intel Stock continues to rise."
Intel jumped 3% in after-hours and is now up 140% year-to-date.
He bought Palantir stock while his administration was actively handing them billion-dollar government contracts for immigration enforcement and defense.
He bought Robinhood stock while his own Trump Accounts program uses Robinhood as the broker.
He's currently sitting on over 100% profit on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell Technology, and at least 10 other positions.
Every single president since Lyndon B. Johnson has used a blind trust to avoid exactly this situation. But Trump didn't.
His assets sit in a trust controlled by his own children, and the filings show a broker acted as agent on several trades.
The White House says the portfolio is "independently managed."
But here's what independently managed looks like:
Buy Dell stock. Three months later, publicly endorse Dell from the White House. Stock hits all-time high.
Buy Nvidia stock. One week later, your own government approves their chip sales. Stock rips.
Buy Intel stock. Post about Intel on Truth Social. Stock jumps. The government you run already owns a 10% stake.
Buy Palantir. Hand them contracts. Buy Robinhood. Route a federal program through their platform.
Nancy Pelosi got absolutely destroyed for her husband's stock trades.
Her husband's total disclosed trades in his most controversial year were worth roughly $5 million.
Trump just disclosed up to $750 MILLION in a single quarter.
While making the actual policy decisions that move these stocks.
This isn't a left or right issue.
We're talking about the President of the United States averaging 60 stock trades per day in companies his own administration regulates, contracts with, and publicly endorses.
What do you think?
If you call yourself a conservative and you're staying quiet about all the money Trump is making off the presidency after all your whining about the Bidens, the Clintons, and the Obamas, you're a fake-ass bitch or you're truly in a cult.
I assume both.
In addition to the $400 million of taxpayer money used to refurbish Trump's gift from the Qatari government of a new Air Force One, which he will keep, an ADDITIONAL $320 million was spent on a new hangar complex to fit it at Andrews, per WSJ.
The world's richest man has the blood of 100s of 1000s of the world's poorest people on his hands. And he took joy in doing so. It's obscene. Kudos to Nick Kristof for shining a bright light on this darkness!

From @WSJopinion: Foreigners are being led to believe they can buy American goodwill or favors if they cut the Trumps in on the action. Americans deserve better from this or any President.

When I mention that Donald Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao--a convicted money launderer for drug cartels--and then made billions in crypto off of him, the important thing to remember is that Hunter Biden sold a painting.
