I look forward to the end of the Iranian war and sincerely hope Trump agrees to the $300 billion in reparations to Iran.

That's $300 billion not going to poor American people, not going to American healthcare, not going to American education. Let's see what happens in November.

Great idea. Genius!😅

Should we forget this whole Iran saga got kicked into overdrive when the divider in chief Obama paid the mad mullahs BILLIONS of $$ in used banknotes airlifted on pallets as ransom for captured US sailors, which the mullahs used to develop nukes.

And you want MORE of this insanity.

Some wild thinking right there🤣😅

If you weren't blinded by cultish fealty it would be possible for you to easily find the truth regarding the money sent to Iran during the Obama presidency. Do you know how to break free from your chains?

Again showing your obsession. Time for you to come out of the closet and stop surpressing your latent feelings.

That's a good one! 😃

The contract comes as Trump has invested in Dell several times in recent months. He bought between $1 million and $5 million of the company’s stock in early February, followed by a series of smaller stock purchases in March, according to his most recent ethics disclosure.

Obsession with highlighting the lefts dishonesty. I can see why you are squirming. And did you really just call someone gay as an insult? Gotta love "progressives"🤣

Yes, it's really easy to see. In fact, every day there's new evidence, and most of the time it's straight from the horse's mouth.

Ken Paxton, the Trump endorsed Texas GOP candidate for the US Senate is one of the most corrupt politicians in the US, and a protector of pedo rapists.

He's Trump, but on a smaller scale.

Fox: "You're scandal ridden."

Paxton: "Yeah, but so is Trump!"

And it's all happening in The United States of America, June, 2026.🤣

But Hunter Biden sold paintings, so move along, nothing to see here!😂

'Ballroom donors won $50B in contracts after giving to Trump project, watchdog group finds'

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/06/04/donors-won-50b-contracts-after-giving-trump-ballroom-project-report-says/

"More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months, according to a report released Thursday by a government watchdog group.

Fourteen of the 27 known corporate donors to the $400 million project, which would replace the East Wing that Trump demolished in October, have seen their government business grow in that window, according to the report from Public Citizen, a nonprofit. Most of those same companies are also facing federal enforcement actions over alleged wrongdoing or have had such actions suspended by the Trump administration since the start of Trump’s second term, the nonprofit found."

No he didnt. He sold crack doodles which in reality was a scam to give the buyer access to the big guy and ambassadorships and other plummy positions.

Easily proven by the value of a Hunter Biden crack doodle back when the big guy was stuffing his trousers from despots cash to now. Now you'd be lucky to get $50 for a Hunter original.

But, as we know, that was "good" corruption to be censored, but now imaginary corruption is bad bad bad🤣

So the BBC has taken a closer look at what's already been patently obvious. Trump and/or someone very close to him, is using all the TACOs for insider trading, and the figures are staggering.

This administration must be investigated by independent agencies (so NOT the DOJ) and all criminals need to go to jail.

Oh my God!!! Wait until you find out about Congress.

Pelosi, Tuberville, Burr, Loeffler and plenty of others have all faced scrutiny over stock trades.

If the standard is "investigate possible corruption," then let's apply it to everyone in Washington, not just one side.

My standard is much simpler, politicians shouldn't be getting rich trading stocks while having access to information the public doesn't have.

That's exactly why congressional stock trading has been controversial for years and why many Americans support banning it altogether.

and may jobs creation came in more than double the forecasts. Big win for Trump AGAIN and OUTSTANDING as usual. You loser haters must be luvin this too.... a lot.... ha ha ha

Investigate ALL of them. You see, as a non-MAGA I haven't had hypocrisy injected into my veins, so I don't care where the cards fall.

Just like with the Epstein files. Investigate every single person appearing in them and if found guilty, throw their a**es in jail - no exceptions!

Agree?

My point is that their personal decisions were not triggering a fast and significant market change. So there are quite a different case than the ones discussed here.

Apparently Trumps think if it's out in the open, it's not corruption.

SecTreas Bessent is now saying the US Taxpayer should be bailing out the UAE. The UAE invested $500,000,000 in World Liberty Financial a year ago. That is Junior and Eric's firm. I suppose it's just a coincidence and oil sheikhdom is getting bailed out by hard working American taxpayers, who are struggling with inflation and high gas prices.

The CEO of Binance got a pardon from Trump, despite his conviction for laundering money for Hamas (you know Hamas, that Iran-funded Shi'a terror group who did 7 October), because Binance does business with World Liberty Financial.

Eric just boasted on Fox that his robotics firm just "won" a contract with the Pentagon.

Junior is accompanying dad to China, where Junior will discuss family business.

Son-in-law is bouncing around the Middle East, ostensibly "negotiating" with Iran, but he just happens to be asking for investment in his fund management firm.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xK1Gvmhdb8

I’m fine calling out conflicts of interest on either side. But let’s be accurate.

Some of this is real concern, some is exaggerated and some is wrong.

The UAE/World Liberty deal raises obvious conflict questions. The Binance pardon also looks terrible. But calling a possible currency swap line a “taxpayer bailout” is loaded, and Hamas is Sunni, not Shi’a.

My point is simple: if you thought Hunter Biden cashing in on the Biden name was corrupt, then you should apply the same standard to the Trump family. And if you dismissed Hunter’s foreign business deals as no big deal, then it’s hard to suddenly act shocked when Trump’s family does similar things.

Influence peddling is influence peddling. The standard should not depend on the last name.

You're arguing degree. I'm arguing principle.

If someone uses their position in government to gain a financial advantage, that's a problem whether it moves the entire market or just their personal portfolio.

Market-moving actions and congressional stock trading are different issues, but both deserve scrutiny.

I don't understand why one gets outrage while the other gets a pass.

I agree 100%.. I dont care who, If it's Trump and then it's Trump!

As I've said many many times. I dont really like Trump.

I probably was not clear enough.

Both deserve scrutiny, of course.

However, having privileged access to knowledge (not necessarily insider's knowledge unknown to others) about a possible market valuation change and speculating on it, is quite different from causing the market valuation change by one's own personal decision (or the decision of someone you supervise).

Ah! So insider trading(cheating & highly illegal) is A OK for the extreme left so long as no "significant and fast variations of the stock market" occur?

Priceless😅

Btw, when tech related bills that the Pelosis insider traded around, there v much WAS significant stock market swings. As with the plandemic/vaccine announcement etc etc. Paul and Nancy made out like theives in the night.

Bit late to start blurting about insider trading, isn't it?🤣😅
