Trumps Crypto Dinner Was As Corrupt As You Thought It Would Be

[skews13]

President Donald Trump hosted a dinner Thursday night for the biggest spenders on his memecoin, a corrupt affair where rich people—many of them foreign and unable to donate to Trump’s political campaigns—paid for access to the president.

Trump held the event at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, using a taxpayer-funded military helicopter to get there.
He then appeared before a podium emblazoned with the presidential seal, even though earlier in the day White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that the event was not part of his official duties.

Meanwhile, the people who attended—many of them foreign nationals who would otherwise be banned by law from donating to Trump's political campaign—explicitly admitted that they spent millions on Trump's shitcoin to gain access to Trump, The New York Times reported. That's as blatant of a "pay-to-play" scandal as it gets.

Among the guests was Chinese crypto magnate Justin Sun, who The New York Times reported spent $40 million to attend the dinner.

Just a blatant, middle finger extended to the law, pay to play money grab, right there in the open for all to see. Not a single Republican in Congress is the least bit bothered by this, to say nothing of his supporters.

The grift will continue to build steam as more money rolls in from "donors"

Trump uses the office of president to enrich himself – the ultimate in government corruption.

 

[luiza]

As Fake as the story about the death of the young couple outside the museum .

Gullibles thrive on these Fake stories , particularly the Troll Bot Mutants here on USMB .

They make you Spew .

This is all happening right out in the open, because the country has given up. His "flooding the zone" tactic, described by Steve Bannon, has worked. You can't focus on a raindrop in a hurricane.

58 crypto wallets have made millions on Trump’s meme coin. 764,000 have lost money, data shows

On top of everything else, this is now a kleptocracy. Trump has leveraged his office to massively enrich himself and his friends. This is how Putin increased and maintained power, and Trump took notes.

And the flock? They'll defend it all day. Now we know the answer to the question people have been asking since the 30's: "How could they have let this happen?"

His supporters will love it, but if Harris or Biden had done it, it'd show how anti-American and unfit to be president they were.

You TDS honks had better get therapy and some SSRIs, because the Republican who wins in 2028 is worse than a trillion Trumps.

You are going to have to amp up your rhetoric appropriately.

As Trumps Monetize Presidency, Profits Outstrip Protests​

When Hillary Clinton was first lady, a furor erupted over reports that she had once made $100,000 from a $1,000 investment in cattle futures. Even though it had happened a dozen years before her husband became president, it became a scandal that lasted weeks and forced the White House to initiate a review.

Thirty-one years later, after dinner at Mar-a-Lago, Jeff Bezos agreed to finance a promotional film about Melania Trump that will reportedly put $28 million directly in her pocket — 280 times the Clinton lucre and in this case from a person with a vested interest in policies set by her husband’s government. Scandal? Furor? Washington moved on while barely taking notice.

The Trumps are hardly the first presidential family to profit from their time in power, but they have done more to monetize the presidency than anyone who has ever occupied the White House. The scale and the scope of the presidential mercantilism has been breathtaking. The Trump family and its business partners have collected $320 million in fees from a new cryptocurrency, brokered overseas real estate deals worth billions of dollars and is opening an exclusive club in Washington called the Executive Branch charging $500,000 apiece to join, all in the past few months alone.

Just last week, Qatar handed over a luxury jet meant for Mr. Trump’s use not just in his official capacity but also for his presidential library after he leaves office. Experts have valued plane, formally donated to the Air Force, at $200 million, more than all of the foreign gifts bestowed on all previous American presidents combined.

Hillary Clinton Turned $1,000 Into $99,540, White House Says​

The White House said today that in 1978 Hillary Rodham Clinton invested $1,000 in commodities futures and that the investment grew in 10 months of trading in the notoriously volatile market into a gain of nearly $100,000.

Seeking to dispel suggestions that the trades were risk-free and improperly arranged by an Arkansas lawyer who represents one of the state's most powerful companies, the White House issued a statement this afternoon that said the First Lady had put up her own money and that she bore all of the financial risks in a marketplace where three out of four investors lose money.

The officials also released a year's worth of brokerage statements from one of Mrs. Clinton's two accounts. They show winnings outrunning losses about three-to-one. 'Too Nerve-Racking'

Senior advisers to President Clinton and his wife said in a briefing this afternoon at the White House that Mrs. Clinton based her trades on information in The Wall Street Journal, and that she stopped trading by 1980, despite her success, because, as one senior aide put it, "she did not have the stomach for it any more and found it to be too nerve-racking."

https://www.nytimes.com/1994/03/30/us/hillary-clinton-turned-1000-into-99540-white-house-says.html

I'd be willing to wager not many people have heard of the sweet $28M deal Bezos made for Dotard's absentee wife. Conversely, Hillary's $90K profit after putting her own principle at risk invited so much scrutiny financial documents detailing the transactions she made were released to the public.

Perhaps what has allowed the unparalleled, rampant corruption of trump 2.0 to go on without objection from rank and file Repubs and POT congressmen is the precedent set by trump 1.0 and the grifting Don has engaged in his whole life. He is and always has been a white collar criminal. He's come to realization no one is going to stop him, so his actions become more brazen.

Whatever the reason, the acquiescence to overtly corrupt acts, or maybe better said their normalization, is a definitive sign we are not slipping towards authoritarian governance......we have arrived. What makes it worse is it didn't happen by force. Half the country voted for it.

To a MAGAT it is ok for Trump to fleece all the funds he can for a better orange hue.

It's good to know that Trump is "draining the swamp".

It's so depressing that the MAGA rubes actually believe Trump's ******* bullshit.

The lying corrupt democrats are all in a tizzy and I'm supposed to take them seriously? Hilarious.

Don't believe us. Do your own research.

Oh wait.....your MAGA religion doesn't allow that. My bad.

Yes, draining the swamp is a big priority for him . It's stunning to see how many times he does the opposite of what he says. Or accuses Dem's of doing exactly what he's doing. It's Orwellian to its core.

It's even more stunning that so many imbecile MAGA rubes continue to believe Trump is going to somehow help them with their miserable lives.

What a bunch of mentally ill, brainwashed fucktards.

Of course not. Taking them seriously, like doing even the smallest amount of research on your own, would expose you as a foolish rube, convinced to support a professional conman. And we can't have that now can we?

No matter what trump does my indoctrinated neighbor keeps claiming he supports trump because he, my neighbor, believes in conservatism. I keep reminding him trump doesn't but he can't see it. Cuz he doesn't want to see it. If he sees it he'll be forced to acknowledge he was duped.
