All peanuts compared to the 10 billion he is negotiating with his own DoJ, deal to be paid before the court rules on the legality of it.

And possibly the conditions for this deal include him and his family being exempt from tax audits for life.

It seems he wants to settle with himself so no "activist judges" can spoil the party.

I completely agree, but won't have any chance of passing before the midterms (unless there's a coup).

Yep, this is probably the most in-your-face case of mind-blowing corruption....so far. Unfortunately, unless nature finally offers us desperately needed relief, he still has time to outdo himself.

Tell me, MAGA. Do you agree with what Trump is doing with rich people who're convicted of serious fraud? He's pardoning them, en masse.

Yay, or Nay?

BTW, a pardon blocks any chance of criminal restitution for the fraud victims.

MAHA, one pesticide at a time. Start digging into this one and I'll bet it won't be long until you find the financial motive.

He really has become a master grifter. Of course, none of this would have been possible without the complete submission of the entire GOP.

Another industry that has made plenty of donations, no doubt. I'm soooo glad I'm not living in the US.

If you tell them, they get mad, imagining that you are a hater.

I was genuinely disappointed at poor quality of the food in the supermarkets. Marketing over substance. Standard quality items labelled as premium. If it has no additives, then perhaps gourmet 😊

Used to like Trump but now he's just manipulating the markets, increasing prices and behaving like a crook. Time he was kicked out from office and that oil prices need to get back to normal. Also the foolish european union who is maintaining the useless sanctions against the cheap russian oil and gas that is plunging entire europe in a historic inflation and crisis. All this will lead to social unrest and rise of the far right in the forthcomming elections.

By all means. You see, unlike the MAGA hypocrites, us "libs" say go after all suspicious transactions and let the chips fall where they may. Same for anyone named in the Epstein files.

You should try it sometimes, it's quite liberating.

The UK already did, they are waiting for the US to catch up. Maybe Andrew and Trump can share a cell.

No, but raping children is, along with a litany of theft, fraud and treason.

Well it's the BBC so it must be true. It's suspicious so it must be true. Maybe they could take a look at Nancy Pelosi while they're at it.

actually, IMHO one needs to look at the majority of elected officials willing to sit through blatant violations of the US constitution and rampant corruption among those elected officials. They seem to care less about serving the citizens of the country but more about protecting their jobs in which they have learned to retire with riches for their families. They even have trouble passing a anti insider trading bill for government officials in any office. If one looks just how bad it can be, look at all the stories on the Epstein Files cover ups by several administrations of both parties. All to protect the rich and powerful while denying the victims any justice whatsoever. Yeah, I have heard too than many victims were required to sign NDA's to cover up certain individuals but IMHO that does not make the payer of that agreement to the victim unpunishable by US law and all the rich and powerful should be named in public and all should go to prison IMHO anyway including the presidents for starters and all the attorney generals and FBI chiefs for starters too!

If you check the health statistics for the US adults - the report says 70 % are obese or with type II diabetes. Who reaps the profits besides the big food companies putting all the fake crap in foods anyway - Big pharma and the health industry can't make profits off of healthy people but must have lifelong patients. A sick society IMHO as an American who lives here.

Only the best are getting hired. Only the very best!

It's good to see that artificial and socialist limits on crap that industries can put in the drinking water are removed.

MAHA is fine, but not at the expense of Trump/GOP donors!

'EPA wants to repeal limits on ‘forever chemicals’ in drinking water'

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2026/05/18/epa-wants-repeal-limits-forever-chemicals-drinking-water/

"The Environmental Protection Agency on Monday proposed repealing limits on four types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water, while delaying regulations on two others, drawing swift criticism from both environmental activists and the Make America Healthy Again movement that has supported President Donald Trump.

Shortly after Trump took office, the EPA signaled its plans to rescind the 2024 protections against per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS. More than a year later, the agency has issued its formal proposal."

But wait, there's more. Trump is dead set on giving no fracks about the environment, whatsoever.

Trump to ease rule on climate super pollutants

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/05/21/trump-ease-rule-climate-super-pollutants-says-move-will-cut-costs/

"Trump claimed the reforms would give Americans lower prices “at no detriment to our country, including environmental detriment.”

Industry trade groups, however, said the rollback would actually drive up prices by increasing demand for existing refrigerants by allowing manufacturers to make equipment using hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) for longer. Meanwhile, the overall supply of the chemicals continues to decline under hard limits set by Congress in the 2020 American Innovation and Manufacturing Act that cannot be changed by EPA."

It just doesn't end, as Governor Newsom points out. In your face and non-stop.

On and on and on. And MAGA looks another way.

Trump buys Dell stock and then tech giant gets $9.7b Pentagon contract

 

Government ethics watchdogs are sounding the alarm after the Pentagon announced that the US tech company Dell has been granted a US$9.7 billion government contract - pointing to stock transactions that suggest President Donald Trump potentially stands to gain financially from the deal.

Over the spring, Trump continued to praise Dell at public events, most recently giving the company a shout-out during a White House Rose Garden lunch.

Less than three weeks later, Dell’s stock surged in response to this week’s announcement that the Defence Department has awarded the company’s federal subsidiary a major contract to oversee the procurement of Microsoft software for the US military.

More recently, Trump agreed to drop a lawsuit against the IRS - which he oversees - as part of an agreement that established a nearly US$1.8b Justice Department fund to compensate those who, like him, claim they have been targets of a “weaponised” justice system under the Biden administration.

Along with the Dell stock purchases, Trump’s latest financial disclosure, released this month, revealed tens of millions of dollars in other trades. The form showed, for example, that Trump bought stock in leading companies such as Microsoft and Amazon months before the Pentagon announced deals to deploy their technology in classified computer networks.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) released her remarks from today’s Committee on Oversight & Government Reform (COGR) hearing on fraud and misuse of government funds in Minnesota. 

“My Republican colleagues have now held two hearings to talk about fraud in one single state.  But they have completely ignored the fact that the Trump administration is the most corrupt administration in history,” Norton said. “If Republicans really cared about fraud, abuse and holding criminals accountable, they would call out Donald Trump for firing 17 inspectors general. These internal watchdogs are the frontline of rooting out waste, fraud and abuse at federal agencies.”

Nice trading Mr Trump. That your successful trading triggers the bejeezus out of Biden-bros that celebrated his and notorious wino Pelosis dodgy deals while pushing for censorship of them is icing on the cake.

A wonderful twofer🤣
