The Official Trump Administration Grift, Graft and Corruption Thread

[toobfreak]

As though we needed another thread for depositing the daily bitching and moaning about Orange Man.

Meanwhile, Nancy made 5 million in a single day from insider trading and no one bats an eye. Isn't that what people like Nancy send people like Martha Stewart to federal prison for???

Once again..........what crime has Trump committed this time???


Biden and his administration are treasonous traitors

No, they are not. You are for attacking him and his people.

Trump and his fellow felons have done a raid on the stock market several times in the last month.

He speaks, they buy low; he speaks again, they sell high. They have made millions.

The Democrati administration will seize the plane.

 

[jbrownson0831]

I made this thread ABOUT the Trump Administration. I don’t care if there are some comparison’s to specific Biden actions that might be relevant but don’t derail it and make it a referendum on Biden. Just start another thread.

Why wouldn't sane people jump right to the actual grifter when responding to your fake diatribe?

Trump to pardon reality TV stars Julie and Todd Chrisley

Couple was found guilty in 2022 of conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30m and tax evasion

This is a good one to start the day. It underlines the FACT that fraud is av vicimless crime that only corrupt leftists bother about. Also gets the felon a headline on a slow day.

Trump Organization breaks ground on $1.5 billion golf club in Vietnam​

HUNG YEN, Vietnam — Vietnam’s prime minister and President Donald Trump’s son Eric held a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday for a $1.5 billion luxury residential development with three 18-hole golf courses outside Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital.

The U.S. president’s Trump Organization family business and its local partners received approval for the project just last week from the Communist authorities in Vietnam, which is separately negotiating over tariffs with Washington.

Did the conservatives on the SC intend to give cover to trump for this kind of graft when they gave prez's immunity?

That 'Buy low, sell high' is kind of a thang. It works in the stock market and even real estate and pretty much in all things and yes it's how people can get rich. There is no law against that

He manipulated the stock market with his comments, deliberately.

He is protected by immunity. Bessent and the others are not.

Will they lie when put under oath?

I see you are confused by Trump the business entity and Trump the president.
The two things aren't the same people, are run by different people.

Are there money flows between the two groups?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

I know you mean to attach a link that has proof of your claims.

But somehow it got dropped.

Seems you have that problem a great deal.

Still looking for your fair and balanced approach.

BTW: I know you would have started on Obama. Is it still active ?

You wat links apart from when you are accusing biden without any proof.
Doesnt pass the smell test.

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.

You may or may not want to read this piece by horrified longtime conservative (who now must be an evil Hitler demonic deep state globalist commie) David Frum. Holy crap:

The Trump Presidency’s World-Historical Heist

“Everybody does it” became Trump’s all-purpose excuse. The excuse worked, to the extent it did, because of widespread disinformation about the “everybody,” the “does,” and the “it.” If Trump and his supporters can defame others, they can dull voters’ awareness of the astounding and horrible uniqueness of Trump’s corruption...

 

[eohrnberger]

Are there money flows between the two groups?

At present, given the legal restrictions, I'm leaning heavily to that there are not.

If there were, the Dems would be having a point, a point far more pertinent than the pointless noise they are making now.

If you can prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that there are money flows, and that the flows documented are verified by multiple sources, do please proceed with citing that.

The typical left's innuendo for manipulating the court of public opinion just isn't going to cut it, they've made up far too much from whole cloth to be given any credibility.

I still don't see how that is illegal. Yes any Presidents comments can effect the market, but ultimately the decision of what to buy or sell is the investors, it's not like he forced them to do anything. IF he did, then you might have something to complain about.

You are fucking hilarious. The U.S. president’s Trump Organization family business and its local partners received approval for the project just last week from the Communist authorities in Vietnam, which is separately negotiating over tariffs with Washington.

You think the Vietnamese government cutting through red tape to fast track the golf course approval at a time when tariffs are being negotiated with a guy known to be vindictive is a coincidence?

When officials in the home province of Vietnam’s top leader went door to door recently, pressing residents to sign letters agreeing to the Trump Organization’s plans for a new golf community, Le Van Truong wanted to refuse.

Planning documents promised a “new benchmark in luxury, recreation and business.” Mr. Truong, 54, pictured something else: the uprooting of a cemetery with five generations of his ancestors and the loss of rich farmland that has sustained local families for centuries.

Yet he signed anyway, because, as he put it, “there’s nothing I can do.”

“Trump says it’s separate — the presidency and his business,” Mr. Truong said. “But he has the power to do whatever he wants.”

Trump did it deliberately to make the market fall, where they bought, and then he did it deliberately to make the market rise, where they sold.

I feel like his constant tariff flip flops might just be a tactic to pump and dump the market.

You bet it is!
