COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.
There is no close second in our history.

When taking office in 2025 RFK Jr shut down
- The team responsible for dealing with cruise ship outbreaks
- One of the only labs in the world capable of Ebola research
How's that workin out?
Here's how the corruption works:
Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump
Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it
Friday: FDA changes the policy

Donald Trump just can’t stop grifting, so I’m introducing the Tax the Grift Act!
This bill will tax all payouts from Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund at 100% so that all taxpayer funding goes back to the Treasury rather than into the hands of Trump allies.
Americans should not be forced to bankroll payouts for people who attacked our democracy or are just friends with Trump.
Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98%
Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4%
Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5%
Just thought I should point that out.
The current Ebola outbreak is rising faster than any Ebola outbreak recorded. The genetic sequence of the virus shows it is a unique version. We are the least prepared for this, having defunded USAID and other agencies that stockpile PPE. It all looks like governemnt waste until we have an outbreak
An American president sues/extorts his own government, then settles with his own justice department to funnel money to his criminal allies. He will go down in history as the president who came up with forms of corruption never contemplated before.
You cannot sue yourself, settle with yourself, and then write yourself a check from the Treasury. Donald Trump is trying to do exactly that.
Welcome to Episode 15 of the Corruption Chronicles.
Trump is expected to drop his lawsuit against his own IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. In exchange, he wants a $1.7 billion slush fund to compensate people who claim the Biden Administration wrongfully targeted them — run by a commission he controls, operating entirely in secret, funded by your tax dollars.
Who’s in line to collect? Trump’s allies, the nearly 1,600 people charged in connection with January 6th, and entities tied to Trump and his family.
This is corruption, and it has to stop.
🇺🇸NEWS: FBI Director Kash Patel used a government Gulfstream V to fly his country singer girlfriend to a George Strait concert.
He watched the show from a luxury suite reported at $35,000 to $50,000.
Then he flew her home on the same FBI jet.
Same week: a “VIP snorkel” at the underwater tomb of 900 sailors and Marines at Pearl Harbor.
The pattern from the same NYT investigation is now public.
Four SWAT agents and two SUVs guarding his girlfriend in Nashville. The detail estimated at $1 million a year. SWAT escorts to a hair appointment.
An FBI official suggested a threat assessment to determine if any of it was justified. Patel berated him.
A New York Times reporter wrote about the SWAT detail. The FBI opened an investigation into the reporter. The DOJ shut it down and called it retaliation.
What is the FBI for when the FBI Director uses it as a personal concierge service and turns it on the people who notice?
Our responses to Russia’s prolongation of the war and its attacks on our cities and communities are entirely justified. This time, Ukrainian long-range sanctions reached the Moscow region, and we are clearly telling the Russians: their state must end its war. Ukrainian drone and missile manufacturers continue their work. I am grateful to the Security Service of Ukraine and all the Defense Forces of Ukraine for their precision. The distance from Ukraine’s state border is over 500 km. The concentration of Russian air defense in the Moscow region is the highest. But we are overcoming it. Glory to Ukraine!
The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has one of the few labs in the world which can study Ebola virus.
In March 2025 RFK Jr had it shut down.
We now have a huge Ebola outbreak on our hands.
What a foolish move
President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”
NEW: The Senate just advanced 49 Trump nominees 46-45.
This is what a one-vote majority looks like in practice.
Every single vote matters.
Remember that in November.
Roberts's challenge isn't that Americans misunderstand the Supreme Court; it's that a growing number of them understand it all too well. https://t.co/Gv9sHvrb5d
Samuel Alito quoting FAKE DATA in his ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act should be GROUNDS FOR DISMISSING THE DECISION AND FOR HIS IMMEDIATE REMOVAL.
SHOULDNT IT BE A BIGGER STORY THAT THE US PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY SOLD A NONE EXISTENT PHONE AND IS NOW TELLING EVERYONE THAT PAID FOR IT THAT THERE IS NO PHONE AND NO REFUND 🙄
THE US PRESIDENT IS RUNNING HIS CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION FROM INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE AND IT IS A HORRIFIC LOOK FOR AMERICA 🤷
