    Intriguing
    Trump increasing his own wealth 5~10 times what it was -- public power for private gain
    Trump using the presidency to sell Teslas and BitCoin and selling pardons - breach of public trust by officials using their position for personal benefit
    Trump extorting law firms for free counsil, universities and vanishing money from the Ballroom - acts like bribery, extortion, fraud, or embezzlement for things like money, contracts, or favors, undermining fair governance and public service.
    Trump Blocking the Netflix deal in order for his son in law's company to buy Warner Brothers - - secret deals, influencing official acts, nepotism, and misusing public funds, affecting everything from infrastructure to justice.

    ok
    now do you have any examples of the democrats doing similar things?

    From your source: "Last week, a delegation of business leaders from Switzerland visited the Oval Office to meet with President Trump. They bore gifts. The businessmen gave Trump an engraved gold bar worth more than $130,000"

    So Trump PERSONALLY received this gift" That's what you're alleging? Lol. The gold bar isn't going to Trump personally. Thanks for the laugh.

    Trump doesn't get to keep such gifts. They become property of the US Government. Your problem is that you follow outlets that work on behalf of the Washington Cartel and they spew this crap and folks like you believe it.

    But I'll give you a suggestion to make your outrage go away. Just pretend that Trump is a Somalian immigrant that just stole a BILLION from the American people and then you'll no longer give a f*ck. You're welcome.

    Nah. On the contrary, you are a sucker or, as Vladimir Lenin put it, a "useful idiot". Your political masters in the Washington Cartel have spent decades robbing you and your family of a much higher standard of living and your response is to support them while attacking anyone who tries to stop it.

    What the hell are you talking about. They dont become property of the US government. They become part of his library that he gets to keep. Youre a dumbass who has no idea how the law works.

    Whoever stole money whether they are Somalian or Americans they should be prosecuted. The issue is your dumbass cult hero is pardoning convicted felons who stole billions.




    The problem being is you dumbasses are pardoning the criminals who are stealing from taxpayers. You cultists are dumb enough to think the guy whos selling pardons in the open market is somehow going to fight corruption.

    You sir are a dumbass alongside your other cultists @ROXRAN

    astros123 is the dumbest, most misinformed, member of this forum and that is saying a LOT.

    From Google AI:

    Foreign gifts to the U.S. President generally become property of the United States government, not the President's personal property, governed by the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act (FGDA) and the Constitution; gifts of minimal value (currently under $480) might be kept, but anything substantial must be declared and turned over to the government, often ending up at the National Archives or GSA for public use, donation, or auction, with proceeds going to the Treasury.
    Key Rules & Processes:
    1. Minimal Value Gifts: Gifts under a specific monetary threshold (adjusted periodically, recently around $480) can usually be kept by the official.
    2. Substantial Gifts: Gifts exceeding this value are accepted on behalf of the U.S. and become government property.
    3. Emoluments Clause: The Constitution generally forbids federal officials from accepting gifts from foreign powers, requiring Congressional consent for most items.
    4. Disposition: After being declared, items go to the General Services Administration (GSA) or National Archives for public display, donation to state agencies, or sale, with funds deposited in the Treasury.
    5. Presidential Exceptions: While the FGDA applies to most federal employees, the President's unique role sometimes involves seeking specific Congressional approval for keeping certain gifts, though most are still logged and managed as public property.
    In essence: Unless a gift is of very low value or specific Congressional permission is granted (historically), foreign gifts to the President are for the American people, not for personal gain.

    As I said, just pretend that the corruption is being committed by Somalians stealing BILLIONS from the American people and sending it to their warlords in Mogadishu and then you'll magically no longer give a f*ck. You're welcome.

    Dude, you can't even get simple things like gold bars being gifted to the American people straight. Some parrot on X posts that Trump gets to keep the gold bar for his own personal benefit and then you spew that idiotic lie here and call those who correct your monolithic ignorance "cultists". In any event, your assessments and your sources have ZERO basis in truth. You are dismissed.

    Dude Trump admitted that the new 777 plane he got bribed to him by Qatar will personally go to his library after us taxpayers will spend a billion dollars upgrading the plane. The jet doesn't belong to the US government

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-presidential-library-fundraising/

    Also foreign countries are bribing him directly by buying his fake meme coin scam that he benefits from directly

    You're way too stupid and dishonest to engage further.
