Trump’s grift will be caught. It always gets caught.

The insider trading, the crypto grift, the international bribes, the ballroom donors getting contracts, the pardons going for five to ten million dollars a piece, there will be a reckoning for all of it.

It’s disgusting, but here’s the silver lining I want to leave people with.

If we get a reform-based president after this, they now have a complete playbook.

Every norm broken, every standard flouted, every weakness in the system exposed, it’s all documented.

That’s actually the roadmap for reform.

Trump has been so brazen about all of it that he’s inadvertently shown us exactly what needs to be fixed.

It's hard to explain just how detached from reality President Trump's conspiracy-theory-filled social media posting spree last night and this morning was. One easy example: The president shared a completely made-up and frankly nonsensical "quote" about former president Obama the post attributed to GOP Sen. John Kennedy. The fake quote originated with a "satire" website, basically a fakery factory, that invents stories to be shared by online conservatives; per the fact-check website Lead Stories, versions of this particular fake quote have been wrongly attributed to everyone from Kash Patel to Madonna.

How do you cover this? A previous president would have received wall to wall coverage for even one of these tweets. And yet Trump floods the zone and the media cannot and often will not cover the sheer extent of his insanity and indecency.

Today in 1977, The Beach Boys Love You album was released. Originally planned as Brian Loves You, Brian wrote and played nearly every instrument on the record, including keyboards, synthesizers, and drums. What’s your favorite track?

It seems the White House may have uploaded that video unintentionally. It's now been made private.

But I downloaded it, so here's the full WH feed of the Easter lunch earlier today.

Trump does sound a bit more candid here than he does in front of reporters.

Let me explain what just happened 👇

5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.

5 minutes…

These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.

There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.

Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.

American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.

This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.

This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.

You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.

Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.

The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu says the full Epstein files contain information that Donald Trump RAPED minors.

So he started a war to distract us from his crimes.

Never stop speaking about Epstein.

@LeslieMinesIII Yep

[Vaughn Sterling @vplus]

An evidence log provided to attorneys for Ghislaine Maxwell includes serial numbers for about 325 FBI witness interview records – but more than 90 of those records don’t appear to be present on the DOJ website, according to CNN’s review.

Among the missing records: 3 interviews related to a woman who told agents that Epstein had repeatedly abused her starting when she was approximately 13 years old, and who also accused Trump of sexually assaulting her. https://t.co/bEDKbEATz1

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Anyways, back to this guy whose own Justice Department was just found out to have conveniently disappeared 50+ pages related to a woman accusing him of sexual assault when she was a child from the Epstein database. Let's talk about it.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

CONFIRMED: NPR now confirms that Trump-related files are missing from the DOJ’s Epstein release.

MSNBC Senior Legal Reporter Lisa Rubin explains the gaps.

So let’s be clear:

The files weren’t “lost.”
They weren’t “overlooked.”

They were kept out.

And the name missing is Donald Trump.

Trump staged his assassination attempt in Butler.
Not even a question anymore.
He’s a SIM.
