If Trump’s 1st T was marked by a level of graft & self-dealing -🚨2nd T seems to be an explicit effort to outpace his previous record & set a new high-💧mark for pol #corruption in the US.

Trump's made nearly 100 visits to his props -paid for by the American taxpayer. Foreign govts & sp int grps routinely use them for events -putting $Ms directly in the fam’s coffers +pardons for donors & supporters like Zhao➡️$💰to Trump/fam.

"So the Saudi prince🚨gets F-35s, nuclear technology, & his reputation whitewashed.

In exchange, he gifts the American president a lucrative real estate deal.

Democrats🚨must start signaling what they will do about this unprecedented corruption of our foreign policy.

In addition to Congress codifying the CON's emoluments clause, I'd intro leg imposing a 100% tax on any profits a pres makes from such foreign payments."

JUST BECAUSE HE COMMITS HIS CRIMES OUT IN THE OPEN WITH NO SHAME, doesn't make them any less illegal.

Just 9 months into his second term, the Grifter-in-chief's family has already raked in nearly TWO BILLION off their father's office, including $1.2 Billion off his Crypto scam alone.

But please, tell me more about Hunter Biden.
