It’s really simple: ask your Congress and political representatives to do their jobs – uphold the constitution and the rule of law.
Otherwise, they do nothing.

Trump is 79 years old. Incredible how a billionaire can be one step out of the door on life and yet still can’t scratch that grift itch. “Enough” isn’t in their vocabulary.
Trump and the Trump family keep bending rural American working class voters over. And I guess it’s safe to assume by now that rural American working class voters love being bent over.

> Asked to comment for this article, Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said: “The media’s continued attempts to fabricate conflicts of interest are irresponsible and reinforce the public’s distrust in what they read. Neither the president nor his family have ever engaged, or will ever engage, in conflicts of interest.”
If God exists, Karoline Leavitt’s cross necklace should’ve spontaneously combusted during one of her briefings as a sign of her active support for the Orange Antichrist and how He in heaven does not approve.
But, of course, God does not, and Karoline gets to wear that symbol of fake piety. Fucking filth.

The Trump family has spent his entire time in office monetizing the presidency.
Lets start with Qatar “gifting” Trump a luxury plane valued at $200-400 million—now $1B in taxpayer funds to renovate. For perspective, the value of the plane totals more than the cost of all foreign gifts bestowed on every former president *combined.*
Qatar has been cashing in on this “bribe,” receiving in return explicit US security guarantees, economic and defense deals, and US approval for a Qatari military training facility in Idaho.
Foreign investors in Trump’s cryptocurrency have been stocking up on his meme coin, stating explicitly that they plan to use their investment to literally purchase influence with Trump.
Trump has spent his life and career exploiting his power and privilege to enrich himself. He has normalized moneymaking schemes that would end the career of anyone else in Trump’s position.
Remember when the GOP spent most of Biden’s term launching partisan investigations into the so-called “Biden crime family?”
Their allegations would actually be credible if levied against the Trump family. Hunter Biden’s cash flow was a tiny fraction by comparison. They’ve done more to monetize the presidency than anyone else in history.
For instance, the Trump family and its associates have so far amassed over $300 million in trading fees from their $TRUMP cryptocurrency scheme.
Thousands of investors lost nearly $2 billion after the coin’s value crashed, but the Trump family brought in significant financial gains.
Many have criticized Trump for this blatant conflict of interest. As president, he’s been pushing crypto-friendly policies that directly benefit the Trump family, their political connections and investors.
They’ve also used the presidency to open an exclusive club in Washington called “The Executive Branch.” The price to join the club was $500,000 per person.
Trump even hosted an exclusive dinner earlier this year at his Virginia club for over 200 investors in $TRUMP cryptocurrency.
Access to the event was based on how much money investors contributed towards a business that Trump benefits from financially.
Despite Truth Social’s wild overvaluation and revenue losses, Trump Media refiled to register Trump’s shares for sale worth around $2 billion. The filing also registered shares for sale held by Trump allies like Pam Bondi.
The Trump family and affiliates are also currently set to receive 75% of the net protocol revenues from the World Liberty Financial project, a “decentralized finance platform” which the Trump family deviously took control of back in January. The paper value of their holdings in the WLFI token is currently in the billions.
This move raises ethical and legal red flags and represents just one example of another conflict of interest and massive insider enrichment.
The Trump family has launched at least three additional meme coins directly associated with their brand.
Trump also continues to make money from his private business interests run by his sons who are profiting directly off of his presidency. The narrative that Trump has charitably sacrificed his net worth for the sake of running the country is a load of bullshit.
The Trump family has frequently used the influence and power of the president to pursue real estate projects overseas and make deals with foreign countries worth billions. His family also benefitted financially from trademarks from the Chinese government.
More recently, Trump has also been intimidating American companies and CEOs—mafia boss style—into giving the government a financial stake in their businesses and political leverage over them and their companies’ operations.
**Trump the “business man:”**
Trump is a notorious financial fraud who has bankrupted or crippled many of the businesses, products, and services that he’s tried to slap his name on.
Here’s a list of Trump’s business failures:
– Trump Casinos and Hotels
– Trump University
– Trump Magazine
– Trump Airlines
– Trump Beverages
– Trump “The Game”
– Trump Mortgages
– Trump Steaks
– Trump Travel Site
– Trumpnet
– Trump Tower Tampa
– Trump Vodka
– Trump Fragrances
– Trump Mattress
– Trump Network
– Tour de Trump
– Trumped!
– Truth Social
Trump has also been involved in over 4,000 legal cases, many of which include financial crimes.
Trump has profited off of screwing over small businesses and financial associates.
He has also profited off of lying about his wealth and the value of his properties; he even lied to get on the Forbes list. Let’s not forget Trump’s felony convictions for falsifying business records in order to conceal a crime.
While back in the 80s, Trump had lost more money than any other American taxpayer. But he continued borrowing money from his father and from banks; avoiding paying income tax for many years. He amassed unsustainable debts and dumped them onto others.
After squandering his riches, Trump received his lucky break—The Apprentice. The show played a significant role in boosting his income and public image.
During his first term, Trump was forced to pay more than $2 million in court-ordered damages to eight different charities for illegally misusing charitable funds at the Trump Foundation for political purposes
As part of the settlement, Trump was required to acknowledge his personal misuse of funds at the Trump Foundation and it was forced to shutter its doors and dissolve under court supervision.
Then there’s Trump University:
In 2013, A lawsuit was filed by New York’s AG accusing Trump of defrauding thousands of people who attended Trump University. New York regulators forced Trump to stop using the term “university” to describe the scheme, calling Trump’s use of the word, “misleading and even illegal.”
Former students recount being pressured to provide high approval ratings for the courses they were taking, or have their graduation certificates withheld. Thousands of students sought course refunds and claimed that they never received any benefits from the courses.
There was also a separate class action lawsuit against Trump University. Trump’s counterclaims were dismissed and he even tried to file a defamation suit against one of the students who made her experiences at the “university” public. Trump was eventually found to have defrauded students and was forced to pay $25 million in restitution.
Trump is also known infamously for not paying what he owes. This includes hundreds of millions in loan forgiveness and legal penalties, and unpaid bills for rally costs at cities around the country.
As president, Trump directed taxpayer money towards his businesses. The secret service and other government parties were forced to overspend at Trump properties.
Trump also booked events for foreign governments at locations he owns in order to curry favor with his admin.
Prior to his inauguration, Trump met in private with several billionaires who pledged millions of dollars towards his presidency, evidently in exchange for laxity, and were invited to sit in the VIP section at his inauguration while his supporters stood out in the cold. How symbolic.
Trump is a notorious grifter. Selling everything from hats, T-shirts, clothing and accessories, to watches and jewelry, NFTs and digital collectibles, commemorative medallions and coins, Trump currency and trading cards, tacky sneakers, overpriced Bibles, cologne and perfume, among other Trump branded merchandise that he continuously suckers his followers into buying.
