This would be a huge scandal for any other president.

A South Korean company challenging Commerce Department trade penalties paid Donald Trump’s holding company $2,000,000 last year.

The payment came from Base Group, the lead investor in Korea Aluminium, which faced penalties after the Commerce Department found that South Korean companies were circumventing trade duties on Chinese-made aluminum. The money surfaced in Trump’s annual financial disclosure released in late June.

The disclosure described it only as a nonrefundable development fee tied to a letter of intent. The Trump Organization says it relates to an unannounced golf course project.

Base Group has courted the Trump family for nearly a decade. It sells Trump-branded wine in South Korea and hosted Eric Trump at its Seoul headquarters in February, where executives discussed expanding trade between the two countries.

As recently as last month, the Commerce Department was weighing whether to raise tariffs further on Korea Aluminium. A preliminary review released last week sided with American aluminum companies. The agency that decides this company’s fate answers to the president. The president took $2,000,000 dollars from its largest investor.

This is one payment. Trump’s holding company collected at least $125,000,000 from foreign sources last year, from more than a dozen countries.

Every president in modern history stepped away from their business to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. This president kept nearly 30 ventures with foreign partners and now profits from companies whose fortunes his own government controls.

This cannot be normalized.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

A reminder: higher tariffs on Canadian goods mean higher prices for American consumers

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

Just a reminder: This Oklahoma Plumber (pictured here hiding from Jan 6 terrorists) is the Secretary of Homeland Security.

The Trump administration says Colorado’s voter rolls were “compromised.” Sounds scary, until you find out those are publicly available records and by “compromised” they just mean “downloaded.”

If Trump is so concerned about voter fraud and election security, why did he gut and dismantle all of the agencies and tools in place to assure we have safe, free and fair elections?? Wake up! The Save Act is a voter suppression bill and Trump wants to rig the midterms. 🤬

@seanhannity Works both ways, careful… we are pumping our smoke into Canada

[Tazana @TazanaAMK]

@LauraLoomer Get over it !

[Tazana @TazanaAMK]

@RandPaul Support free elections and support showing ID! BUT support the constitution as you and all republicans should! States are responsible for elections within their own state! And this save Trump butt bill has nothing in it to address foreign interference, does it??????

[America Is Divided @PetRep]

In Trump's world someone reaching into the reflecting pool should get 10yrs with no chance of time off for good behavior, but J6 hoodlums that crapped in our nations capital building get his pardon. That tells us all we need to know about Trump and the puppets that work for him.

This country is so F*cked up right now.

@Acyn They targeted Rick Scott’s company because of fraud!

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Todd Blanche told a reporter this spring he was “part of the gun industry.”

Maybe that’s because his mother-in-law is the CEO of a gun company.

We need to understand what role he played in helping his family’s company in the midst of the DOJ overturning 30 different gun safety regulations in the past year.

I’m working to get those answers before Blanche faces a confirmation vote.

ICE smashed the window of a disabled Iraq War veteran, on his way to work, pepper-sprayed him, dragged him out at gunpoint, and locked him up for three days without charges.

This is fascism.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that George Retes is a citizen, a disabled U.S. Army veteran who served his country in Iraq.

Federal agents smashed his truck window, sprayed him with chemical agents, detained him for three days, denied him contact with his family, and released him without charges. He missed his daughter’s third birthday while sitting in a cell.

No person on American soil should fear being treated this way, least of all a citizen and veteran at the hands of his own government. A nation that can do this to a U.S. citizen and veteran can do it to anyone.

PAXIS helps you prepare for ICE encounters, help friends and family if you are taken, and deal with the aftermath: https://t.co/Hi5Yo2N2N2

[Tazana @TazanaAMK]

@StevenCheung47 The speech wasn’t on the comedy channel either…. It was available in multiple locations, and to be honest it was a waste of time, no bombshells just empty allegations on data that was already released!

[Tazana @TazanaAMK]

@LauraLoomer @Microsoft Actually most voter rolls are available to the public.. he didn’t say they got the data that is restricted.. he was just vague enough to let people’s minds think what may not be true!

[Tazana @TazanaAMK]

@MarshaBlackburn There is nothing in the save trumps butt bill that even addresses foreign influence! Also there is 15 1/2 weeks till midterms to late to change rules now! Don’t want my data in another federal database database!

[Tazana @TazanaAMK]

@MehekCooke Trumps speech wasn’t on the comedy channel either! It was available on a lot of other channels if people wanted to watch..

@TrumpTruthOnX It’s their boreal forests, they burn every 100 to 150 years, part of the ecosystem.. Climate change is making these fires more frequent.
