Trump is corrupt to the core.

President Trump bought between $1M and $5M worth of stocks in Dell months before the company won a $9.7B contract with the DOD.

In the meantime, he was publicly promoting Dell products.

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.

It had fewer than 50 employees.

And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.

Here is the part the administration tried to bury.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.

One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.

Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.

A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.

This is public money. Your money.

Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.

And there is more coming.

A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

Miller is a despicable human.

Miller: When Talarico goes in for a blood test when he gets a physical, blood doesn't come out. Soy milk comes out. This man has less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett. They would choose a person who looks like he doesn't belong in the senate but in a cabaret show.

These hucksters are delusional and constantly. Inflation under Biden was 2.4 percent in 2024. It’s now 3.8 percent under Trump. I’m paying double for health insurance and gas is costing me an extra $200 a month. I believe my thin wallet, not this liar.

Miller: The American people understand the hell that we inherited, and the extraordinary paradise that Trump is building. From record inflation that we had under Biden, to the cost of living gone down faster than it's gone down before. From unaffordable energy to….
