There's somehow enough funding to build his ballroom and statues, arches, monuments drenched in gold, but not enough to run the FAA.
America, you're being scammed by this administration.
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.

It is obscene that McConnell is allowed to continue holding his post. He is unable to speak, likely unable to think clearly and rolling him around the chamber is just...gross.
Okay, let’s reason this out. Thinking caps 𝗢𝗡.
If Hegseth committed high crimes or misdemeanors, and if he did them at the behest of, or on behalf of, or in cahoots with, someone else, say, I don’t know … uh … let’s assume the president of the United States … that would mean .…
Gosh, I’m stumped. I know there’s a logical conclusion here that should be obvious, but it’s just escaping me.
Could it mean that someone else has committed impeachable, removable acts too??
If so, who would that be?? Just completely stumped. But I feel strongly there must be a clear answer.
Damn, this is almost as hard as the president’s cognitive tests.
Can anyone out there help? @Grok, do you know?
This was January 20, 2025. Trump's second Inauguration. I think it was pretty telling of things to come when he refused to place his hand on the Bible during his swearing in ceremony. He already knew the Hell he was gonna rain down on America.
“Every awful thing I observed working around the Trump family on Celebrity Apprentice seems to be front and center this week; from the revelations that a Russian oligarch and Putin enforcer paid for and was a guest at Don Jr.’s most recent wedding celebration, to the fracas over the Kennedy Center and Trump banning news agencies from the White House grounds.
No man in American history has benefited more from media saturation, or received more preferential treatment from the U.S. corporate media establishment than Donald Trump.
Most major media brands are headquartered in New York City - where the future POTUS presided over bankruptcies, built eponymous towers with mobsters and ran an extensive sex-trafficking operation at the same time that he owned beauty pageants. Nevertheless the media mostly focused on The Donald’s divorces for the first forty-years of his public life.
When he ran for president in 2016, they chose to focus on Hillary Clinton’s email history over delving deeply into a stimulant-addicted, lifelong sexual predator who was barely literate and lied about every facet of his business and personal life.
Networks found Trump’s shtick charming and irresistible - and rewarded him with wall-to-wall coverage that continues to this day. They gave a pass to Melania, who was able to get away with a self-proclaimed ‘former supermodel’ backstory that wouldn’t hold up to the slightest scrutiny - nor would her relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell and ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Remember Mel’s bizarre press conference in April? Of all the stories to not follow up on, FLOTUS and the Epstein files seems like it deserved further investigation.” https://t.co/dnReacsXTU
Trump: “I am forming the AI Force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous SUCCESS, in my First Term.
To that end, I will be announcing, in the near future, the AI “Czar” — Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!”
