@jkempcpa Shamelessness is their superpower.
- Truth & doing & saying the right thing is a narrow, specific lane.
- When you have zero shame, the entire landscape of lies, gaslighting, gross exaggeration, etc is at your disposal.
- Nothing is too low to go with
Begins with shamelessness.

Greenland isn’t surrounded by Chinese and Russian ships. There hasn’t been $19.2 trillion invested in the US under Trump. Trump hasn’t settled eight wars. Biden’s military aid to Ukraine wasn’t worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The 2020 election wasn’t rigged.

Fact check of Trump’s remarks from…a single meeting with Erdogan today: https://t.co/IKaWUW5CR3

[Decoding Fox News @DecodingFoxNews]

Fox vs. PBS - How two networks covered how Trump made over $2 billion last year. Fox News called him the ultimate capitalist. PBS broke down where the income came from and said it was the most he'd ever made in his entire career.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

For the many-th time, Trump's "$19.2 trillion" figure is a lie.

New foreign direct investment in the US - to acquire, create or expand businesses - was $232 billion in 2025. (Source: https://t.co/ooDwrAHoTK.) The White House's own website claims there've been $10.6 trillion (not $19.2 trillion) in "major investment announcements" this Trump term - and even that's a wild exaggeration that includes vague pledges, vague statements that aren't even pledges, and pledges about *trade between the US and other countries* rather than investment in the US.

Previous fact check from when Trump was claiming it was $17 trillion: https://t.co/yaAEApwIzy https://t.co/gA34TQep93

🚨 Trump donor Adam Kidan went to prison after stealing tens of millions from investors.

Trump just pardoned him, allowing him to keep $21.7 million in stolen funds.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Trump and his sons ripped off nearly one million of their supporters and made a fortune producing nothing of value for anyone. Blood sucking leeches, using the US presidency to do it. And they couldn’t care less and their cult doesn’t seem to mind. Strange times in America.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Turns out Trump’s market manipulation with a series of tariff announcements and pauses that tormented American businesses was done to enrich himself.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: CNN just aired a devastating montage of all the times that Donald Trump accused others of using their public office to make money. Donald Trump's net worth has almost tripled since he took office. Everything he accuses others of is an open admission.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

Want to know what dilutes patriotism? A system that’s rigged against the average American. And who can fault Americans for looking at a president flying around in a $400 million Qatari jet or making $2.2 billion in his first year in office and thinking ‘hey this place doesn’t actually seem all that fair.’

Q: Was this part of the pool already damaged? Hearn maintains the sealant was already partially moved and it looks the same as it did before he arrived.

PIRRO: You know, I'm not going to get into the evidence. Come to the trial. Come to the grand jury and you can testify.

[Jamison Daniel @AntiquarianMuse]

This needs to go viral. He’s saying exactly what I’ve thought through all this. Now we need everyone to take note.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

And to add to the injustice and absurdity, Trump is likely to pardon everyone involved, including himself. And we've barely even begun to talk about the national security implications of Trump's international graft.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

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

The salient point about Vance’s planned Nixon comments is he does not believe it’s a big deal if a President commits crimes. That is telling.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

The reason why Watergate would be a 12 hour news story today is that Trump is so corrupt that Nixon seems almost quaint by comparison. Heck, the Guilded Age guys are kicking themselves for being born in the wrong century. There's much more dirty money to be made now.

DATE OF CORRUPTION: September 23, 2026

Border Czar Tom Homan is caught by FBI agents taking a bribe in exchange for federal contracts. The FBI has video footage of Homan accepting a big bag of cash.

Trump kills the FBI investigation, and Homan gets a job in the administration.

DATE OF CORRUPTION: October 7, 2025

Trump's crypto corruption comes full circle. He pardons Changpeng Zhao, the convicted money launderer of choice for terrorists, drug cartels, and sex traffickers.

Why? Zhao helped Trump set up his family's crypto coin scheme.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

DATE OF CORRUPTION: November 4, 2025

The White House forces the Pentagon to give a company partially owned by Trump's kids a massive gov't contract and a $670M loan. No competitive bidding process - all taxpayer dollars.

Donald Trump Jr. 10x'd his profits.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

1/ Here it is - in one🧵

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Hayes: “Acting AG Todd Blanche told Congress not to worry about the $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists…The DOJ then told the court the same thing—don’t worry, it’s moot, it’s dropped, and then last week, the judge said okay, fine, put it in writing. She ordered Blanche and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and an associate AG to all sign ‘a declaration under the penalty of perjury, they will not take any action to create or operate the anti-weaponization fund and that the anti-weaponization fund will not proceed in any manner or under any name.’ Well, today was the deadline for that and guess what? They came back to the court and they said no, we’re NOT doing it. We’re NOT filing any declaration to officially kill the fund, which probably means the slush fund is NOT dead.”🙄🤦‍♀️
