The Official 2nd Term Trump corruption thread

Replace trump`s name with Biden`s and the maggats would have their heads collectively explode

 

Imagine if Biden's son's name was associated with a plan like Project Sunrise, Kushner's latest grift idea on the Gaza Strip, with Daddy wanting to back it with 60 billion dollars of US money. The Trump family grift is neverending. They have their greedy fingers in every piece of the pie.

U.S. Pitches ‘Project Sunrise’ Plan to Turn Gaza Into High-Tech Metropolis

The blueprint drafted by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff could have the U.S. commit to roughly 20% of some reconstruction costs over 10 years

Making America Great Again is such a joke of a slogan.

Fox News slams its own Trump polling, says Americans are just dumb

On Thursday, the right-wing propaganda network minimized a recent poll showing widespread dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling of the economy, with contributor Charles Payne arguing that the public simply doesn’t understand Trump’s brilliant work thus far.

In the poll results released Wednesday, 54% of respondents said that the country is worse off in January 2026 than it was a year ago, when former President Joe Biden first left office. And 68% said that Trump hasn’t spent enough time addressing economic issues.

During a “Fox & Friends” segment, co-host Ainsley Earhardt expressed “surprise” at the poll and asked Payne—who was once fined by the Securities and Exchange Commission for shady business practices—to explain the negative sentiment in contrast to Trump’s purported economic successes.

“I think the poll really should be ‘Donald Trump’s not spending enough time messaging on the economy,’ that’s because he spent the last year trying to put the pieces in place,” Payne said. “That’s the behind-the-scenes stuff that most folks don’t understand.”​

 

Four days before Trump’s inauguration, lieutenants to an Abu Dhabi royal secretly signed a deal w/the Trump family to buy a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500M, according to documents & people familiar.

The buyer paid half up front, steering $187M to Trump family entities and $31M to Witkoff entities.

The investment was backed by the UAE national security adviser, Tahnoon bin Zayed. The deal put two executives at his company, G42, on the board of WLF, alongside Eric Trump and Zach Witkoff.

 

So much quid pro quo and money funneling back to Trump and his family on all his foreign and domestic deals and policies. Everything he does is in his own self-interest one way or another. All you have to do is follow the money trail.

 

Does Trump have a favourite in the UAE-Saudi rift
The UAE has Israel in its corner, but Saudi Arabia's wealth and world view may appeal more to Trump, experts say

‘Follow the money’

The most important factor for Trump to lean one way or the other is personal, current and former US and Arab officials tell MEE. The difference with 2017, when Trump intervened in the Qatar blockade, is that he and his family now have interests across the Gulf.

Trump’s family business unveiled $10bn in luxury developments in Saudi Arabia in January.

But Riyadh isn’t the only destination for the Trump brand. A luxury high-rise tower is going up in Dubai, and golf resorts in Qatar and Oman.

All of these deals, however, tie back to Dar al-Arkan, a sprawling development and construction firm with ties to the Saudi government.

Trump has three key advisors in the Middle East: his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, his billionaire golfing friend Steve Witkoff, and a Lebanese-American billionaire with a penchant for peak lapel suits and Ottoman history, ambassador Tom Barrack.

Kushner received funds from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar for his private equity firm, Affinity Partners. Before joining the government, Witkoff cut business deals with Qatar. He has since cruised in the Mediterranean with Emirati national security advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan. The UAE invested $2bn in a crypto company started by Witkoff’s son, Zack, and Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Jr.

In sum, Trump, his advisors and family have financial exposure across the Gulf, making it difficult to pick one side or the other. But for a president bent on dealmaking at a national level, Saudi Arabia offers more opportunities.

It's always about who can benefit Trump and his family the most. Always has been, and always will be. A leopard can't change his spots, and that grifting con will always look for the ones willing to do him the biggest favors. Whoever can give him the biggest and sweetest piece of the pie will end up the winner most of the time.

 

Yeah, loyalty is transactional with him when it comes to domestic and foreign policy. What can you do for me? The minute he gets a sweeter deal he dumps you for the next. He's like that in his personal life too. One minute you are his friend, associate, or business partner, and the next you have a knife in your back, and a smear campaign of hate and retribution against you. Even all his wives couldn't keep him faithful. He cheated and lied to every one of them. He's nothing but a selfish self-serving pig of a man out to satisfy himself, while conning the fools who have nothing to offer him that he's doing it all for them.
