Words are important. When media points out Trump’s “potential conflict of interest,” he doesn’t tell the public what’s actually going on in the recent era when he describes Trump’s growing crypto companies. This will use unprecedented recall and self-dealing by the US president, his office to earn billions.
The correct word is corruption.
Trump has held a private dinner at the White House for major speculators who will buy his new cryptocurrency, earning him and his allies $900,000 in just under two days. One senator calls it “the bravest corrupt thing the president has ever done.”
He does other things, even if he does not bravely corrupt others.
He cuts sales from the cryptocurrency sold in his likeness.
He is promoting Teslas in his White House driveway on behalf of the huge number of people who spent 1/4 billion million to support him during the 2024 election.
He posts a newsmaking announcement about Truth Social, a company that he and his family own important shares. This makes a true society a semi-official tool in the world to know Trump’s thinking and policies.
Trump frequently mentions in a call with British Prime Minister Kiel Starmer that he hopes that the British Open Golf Tournament will return to Trump’s Turnberry Resort in Scotland (before Trump’s January 6th, 2021, before attempted a coup). Trump’s team asked the British Prime Minister again during his recent visit to the White House.
To describe these as “potential conflicts of interest” misses the point. “Potential conflict of interest” sounds like an unfortunate situation where Trump may choose personal interests across the country. Thus, the problem is conflict.
But Trump is not in conflict. He repeatedly selects the interests of his (and his family) interests in the country. He uses the authority and traps of the US presidency to make money for himself and his family. And in his second semester, this corruption is worse than the first.
There are rules, as some legal scholars say that “corruption” only occurs after court. However, this is not a common sense definition, and the public opinion court is the key venue for suppressing Trump. He’s more and more frequent when Trump gets a goodwill or engages in a quid pro deal for himself or his family, but the deal is corrupt.
Trump’s adventure into Crypto has increased family wealth by an estimated $2.9 billion over the past six months, according to a new report.
The estimate has been announced by Trump family’s crypto company World Liberty Financial that the so-called “Stablecoin” (the portrait of Trump” will be used to sign a $2 billion business deal with Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, which will generate hundreds of millions more dollars for the Trump family.
We are not talking about “potential conflicts of interest.” The Trump family has a lot of money from ventures backed by foreign governments. Hello? The emoluments clauses, Article 2, Section 1, and Article 7 of the US Constitution prohibit the President from receiving compensation or other compensation from foreign governments.
The deal also officially links Trump’s family business to Binance. This is a company that has been under US government supervision since 2023, when it granted it a violation of the federal government’s money laundering laws.
Meanwhile, Trump has directed the government to make it easier to regulate crypto. The Securities and Exchange Commission has concluded its investigation into crypto fraud. The Department of Justice has ended its enforcement action on cryptography.
A potential conflict of interest? please. This is corruption, simple and simple.
Eric Trump, who officially runs the family business, has just announced plans for a Trump branded hotel and tower in Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates
The Trump family is also developing a complex of luxury hotels and golf courses in Oman, the Middle East, on land owned by the Oman government. Oman also plays an important role in the Middle East, often serving as an intermediary between the US and Iran.
The project and three others rely on a Saudi-based real estate company with close ties to the Saudi Arabian government. Saudi Arabia has a long list of issues looming ahead of the US, including the demand to buy F-35 fighter jets and acquire nuclear power technology.
In two weeks, when Trump travels to Saudi Arabia and the UAE to meet the head of government and the head of Oman, is this a “national visit” or a business trip? Obviously, it’s both – it emphasizes self-contracting.
There is no “potential conflict of interest” here. It’s pure corruption.
Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. His self-dealing looks like shoplifting candies for Warren G. Harding’s children.
Why isn’t the media calling this one? Americans deserve to know.
