🏛️ Presidency-Related Corruption Claims

• Conflicts of Interest: Trump retained ownership of the Trump Organization while in office, leading to over 3,700 documented conflicts of interest, including frequent visits to his own properties by foreign officials and lobbyists.
• Profiteering: His campaign and political allies reportedly spent millions at Trump-owned venues, raising concerns about using public office for private gain.
• Foreign Influence: CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) tracked 150 foreign officials from 77 governments visiting Trump properties during his term.

---

💼 Business & Legal Settlements

• Trump University: Settled for $25 million over fraud allegations related to misleading students.
• CBS Settlement: Trump claimed a $16 million settlement with CBS’s parent company over alleged defamation, followed by an unverified promise of $20 million in airtime — which critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, called “corrupt”.

---

⚖️ Recent Developments (2025)

• Undermining Oversight: Trump has fired over a dozen inspectors general, including the head of the Office of Government Ethics, prompting warnings from experts that he's dismantling anti-corruption safeguards.
• Foreign Bribery Law Rollback: He announced plans to stop enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which bans U.S. companies from bribing foreign officials — a move widely condemned as enabling corruption.
• Pardons & Legal Interference: Trump pardoned figures convicted of corruption, including Rod Blagojevich, and reportedly pressured the DOJ to drop charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

🧠 Expert Opinions

• Ethics watchdogs like Walter Shaub and Norm Eisen have described Trump’s actions as ushering in a “new age of political corruption”.
• A retired judge writing for Newsweek argued that Trump’s corruption claims against others are often projection, distracting from his own alleged misconduct.

 

All that, and the full force of the United States Judicial System was only able to get him for a bookkeeping error.

Why don't you ask your rich, retired Thai-American female buddy what she thinks about that?

I already know her answer, how about you, troll.

Absolutely amazing isn't it?

 

And Maxwell about to walk....what a justice system.

 

Yet Americans seem taken aback when they hear people say you are a laughing stock.

As I said, there are a few specific policies and characteristics that some didn't like but absolutely nothing to confirm that currently "the rest of the world is turning against Trump"!

and I thought you had been underground running away from the Thai planes, things must be ok then, since you still have time for the usual deflections

Why would I be running from Thai planes? Im nowhere near the border. I havent seen any Thai Air force planes in Bangkok, Charlotte, Raleigh, NYC or Atlanta either. Plus, they arent fighting in Siem Reap, the closest is at Preah Vihear again which is pretty well known to all who follow the situation.

 

So your comment, as usual is just an ignorant stalking flame more concerned with me than the issue. Typical of your ilk,

 

Bet you couldnt answer the question either.

Al Capone would have been aquitted of tax evasion under modern rules. But you get your knowledge from Hollywood so you wouldnt know

Hunter did as well, but he was pardoned. 

 

Trump was not convicted of tax evasion, and his "conviction" is on appeal and will be overturned.

Link that confirms that "the rest of the world is turning against him" would back up your claim, as it is now, it is nothing more than your opinion.

I say again; Wake up and read the news from around the world and comments here on AN!

Masculinity scares some folks.

 

Does any other leader pay for his own? Some of your emotionally immature deranged rage posts beggar belief.

He is on a business trip to open a new golf course of his and to line his own pockets as usual!

Is it some kind of sport among you MAGA fanboys to see who can completely miss the point the most times per day? If so then both of your are doing tremendously well!👍

They cannot accept the truth (or tell it), just like Trump, so they must deviate and obfuscate as a result.

Donald Trump Is Going To Scotland, And This Brutal Scottish Newspaper Cover "Welcoming" Him Is Going Viral

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/scottish-newspaper-cover-welcoming-donald-184538131.html

Well they sure got that one right and did that they could add many other descriptions. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever.

 

So, here's a good laugh.
