The Official Trump Administration Grift, Graft and Corruption Thread

Just as a side note, I frequently hear excuses made that Trump/Musk can’t possibly be corrupt because they are so wealthy they don’t ā€œneedā€ money.

Yet ā€œneedā€ is highly subjective. For some people, collecting and amassing wealth is an end in itself. In those cases, particularly where wealth represents power, there is no amount great enough to sate them.
It's not an excuse. Neither Musk nor Trump need your petty larceny bullshit. That's for small-minded dimocrap pick-pockets.

Power? POTUS is the most powerful Human Being on the Planet, How much more is there?

Strike 2 in a desperate attempt at dragging Republicans into your mud pit. Not gonna work.

dimocraps are going down and they're afraid. They should be. Be afraid dimocraps. Be very afraid, we're coming for you
 
The dimocrap party is done. They're over, yesterday's breakfast. They are in their Death Throes

Would be nice if that were true, but don't believe it. These parties are backed by rich global interests who control the media, the elections, etc., plus, the average voter is an uninformed idiot with a 5 minute attention span.

These powers want the USA to be cut up as a pie and served out to their interests and they won't be giving up trying.

How much more does one need of power or wealth if no amount is ā€œenoughā€ā€¦there is an emptiness to be filled and am adding wealth and power is an attempt to fill it.

You ask how much more power could a man possibly need if he is POTUS. The answer is simple: freedom from any constraints in using it.

Those rich global interests are standing behind Trump…holding their hands out.
 
Given that there are so many instances and example and I anticipate many more over the next four years, I think it it might be good to track them in one thread.
Holy crap, I hope this website carries the requisite bandwidth for this.

You do know the flock will deny each and every example provided, right?

By far the biggest one so far is the massive, ongoing crypto pump-and-dump ("Trump & Drump") scam, off of which he's still making a ton. He even had one for the wife. He's estimated to be closing in on $3 BILLION in scam dollars since his inauguration alone.

That one is really worrisome because it has the potential for huge impacts on a national level. There is zero transparency (crypto is designed that way) thus no ability for examination and accountability.

And MAGA supports this. There only answers to this open corruption are:

But but Biden (insert something they think Biden did that they see as an equivalency)

or, Trump is so wealthy he doesn’t need more money thus can’t be corrupt (something along the line of the No True Scotsman Fallacy).
 
Given that there are so many instances and example and I anticipate many more over the next four years, I think it it might be good to track them in one thread. Whether it is conflicts of interest, pay for play, corruption, influence peddling, pardoning or dropping charges on those accused or convicted of corruption, profiting from the office…put it all here. With the whole-sale dismantling or neutering of many watchdog agencies/boards/councils set up to provide an independent system of checks and balances and protect whistle-blowers, this has become so blatent and unapologetic, it seems as if the administration is thumbing their nose at us and daring anyone to speak up. If they do, they will almost certainly become a target.

I’ll start with something pretty mild compared to what has gone on so far (such as the case with Eric Adams).

Tom Homan, Trump’s ā€œBorder Czarā€ has financial ties to a large private prison corporation which will benefit from contracts to incarcerate deportees.

Ethics experts and immigrant rights advocates are raising concerns over newly disclosed financial ties between Tom Homan, Trump's "border czar," and GEO Group, a major private prison company poised to benefit from the administration's push to expand immigrant detention.

According to a federal ethics disclosure obtained by The Washington Post, Homan received more than $5,000 in consulting fees from GEO Care, a division of GEO Group, in the two years prior to joining the Trump administration in January.
You will receive a p.m. because this forum isn't ready for the message.

You're criticizing a person who is a mix of close family member and deity for them. Their very identities are tied up in him.

Give him credit: His Fifth Avenue Rule was right on the money. It may have been an understatement.

You overlooked the obvious answer:

• If Biden hadn't been so incompetent and corrupt in the first place (the worst in American history), then Joe (or Kammy) would be in office now instead of Trump. So when you blame Trump, you are really bitching about Biden. Next time, try running a better candidate who doesn't need to pardon his entire family from a decade of crime.
