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?

And most importantly, it's in your face corruption. Trump 2.0 is non-stop grifting, and everyone can see it.

There is a reason he's the most unpopular president in history.

You are absolutely right, Senator. It's non-stop grift before the cookie jar becomes much harder to open in November. So that's why I say we should cut him some slack, even if he's nodding off on a daily basis, because such intense grift is hard work, especially for someone who's 80 y/o and has severe dementia.thumbsup

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.

if any doubt to who is getting even richer by corruption of all means, look at the bank accounts of the Trump family. He gets 50 billion USD for his ball room and turns around and provides 50 billion dollars in deals with that donor! Same as with his stocks traded, upon taking ownership in them, he then visits that company or makes great press for them to increase the value of their stock, making more money for his family. He has made more money for his family during this presidency that all the other presidents combined in the history of the US.

'Trump Administration Killed Criminal Investigation of GOP Senator’s Coal Companies'

https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-jim-justice-doj-southern-coal-investigation-west-virginia

"Trump administration officials earlier this year killed a federal criminal investigation into the coal empire owned by Sen. Jim Justice, a Republican from West Virginia and a close ally of the president’s. The criminal probe was a significant escalation in the yearslong effort to police serial pollution offenses by Virginia-based Southern Coal and dozens of affiliated mining operations controlled by the family. In the past decade, Southern Coal and other Justice corporations have racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations of the Clean Water Act and have been sued repeatedly by state and federal prosecutors over their failure to properly follow environmental laws at their mining sites."

'5 Senate Democrats Demand Hearings Into Trump’s World Liberty Financial'

"Five Senate Democrats are demanding immediate hearings into World Liberty Financial, the Trump family-backed crypto firm, over a reported $500 million stake purchased by lieutenants tied to a United Arab Emirates royal before the President's inauguration.

The lawmakers sent their request to the Republican chairs of five Senate committees on June 23. They want Trump administration officials to testify under oath about what they knew regarding the payments."

Rubio grilled over Trump in-law’s surprise UAE meeting role

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has come under fire after struggling to explain why President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Michael Boulos, was seated at a high-level meeting with the president of the United Arab Emirates.

The appearance has triggered fresh questions over the role of Trump family members in US diplomacy, with critics accusing the administration of blurring the line between official business and personal relationships.

Rubio Put on the Spot

Rubio faced repeated questions from reporters during a visit to Kuwait after Boulos was photographed alongside him during talks with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.

Asked why Boulos attended the meeting, Rubio said he was simply visiting because his brother lives in the region and wanted to "catch up." Pressed on whether Boulos had participated in a working lunch, Rubio insisted the discussions were unrelated to him and that he had merely been present while officials conducted business.

Questions Refuse to Go Away

Rubio's explanation quickly drew scepticism from former diplomats, political commentators and Democratic figures, many of whom questioned why a member of the president's family would be seated during an official meeting with a foreign head of state.

Critics argued that the secretary's account failed to explain Boulos' presence at the negotiating table, while others mocked the suggestion that a personal catch-up had taken place during a sensitive diplomatic engagement.

Fresh Scrutiny of Family Influence

The episode has revived long-running concerns about the involvement of Trump's relatives in government affairs. During Trump's first administration, daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner frequently played prominent roles in international diplomacy, attracting criticism from opponents over potential conflicts of interest.

The latest controversy has prompted accusations that the administration continues to blur the distinction between family connections and official government responsibilities.

Political Flashpoint Builds

Supporters of the administration have not publicly indicated that Boulos held any formal role in the UAE discussions, and Rubio maintained that he was not involved in the diplomatic conversations.

But the optics of the meeting have fuelled a new political row in Washington. With critics demanding greater transparency over who attends high-level diplomatic engagements, the incident is likely to add to broader debates over ethics, influence and accountability within the Trump administration.

'Trump Sons Invested in Private Fund Making Millions on Microcaps'

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-25/trump-sons-invested-in-private-fund-making-millions-on-microcaps

"A fund that includes President Donald Trump’s eldest sons among its investors has booked hundreds of millions of dollars in paper profits through a lucrative playbook that involves taking stakes in a steady stream of small, thinly traded public companies.

The $1 billion vehicle, American Ventures, is the creation of a Trump Tower-based boutique bank called Dominari Holdings Inc., which counts Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump among its advisers and shareholders. It has so far invested in at least 10 so-called microcaps, generating millions of dollars in paper gains for the president’s sons and other limited partners, in part by using financial instruments called warrants it receives in the deals."

Trump accused of 'market manipulation' over Iran strike timing

OIP-105268488.jpg

Donald Trump is facing fresh criticism after a former MAGA ally accused his administration of manipulating financial markets by delaying the announcement of US military strikes against Iran until after Wall Street had closed.

The claims come as questions mount over the durability of a recently announced ceasefire with Tehran, adding another layer of political controversy to an already volatile Middle East crisis.

Timing of Strike Sparks Scrutiny

According to reports, the Pentagon waited until after US markets closed on Friday before publicly confirming fresh strikes against Iranian targets.

The reported aim was to minimise any immediate impact on financial markets. The strikes followed what Trump described as an Iranian attack on a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, which he said breached a recently agreed memorandum of understanding. Iran has disputed that characterisation, saying the ship had entered an unauthorised shipping route.

Former Ally Levels Insider Trading Claim

The timing prompted sharp criticism from former Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, once one of Trump's closest political allies.

Responding to reports on social media, Greene claimed the delayed announcement showed two things: that the ceasefire was failing and that the administration was "manipulating the markets for insider trading." She did not provide evidence to support the allegation.

Markets and Messaging Under the Spotlight

The criticism follows broader claims from political opponents that the Trump administration has become increasingly sensitive to market reactions, particularly during periods of geopolitical instability.

Observers have noted that major announcements relating to Iran have often been released outside trading hours, limiting the opportunity for investors to react immediately. Critics argue the pattern reflects an effort to reduce market volatility, while supporters say governments routinely consider economic stability when releasing sensitive national security information.

Political Battle Intensifies

The latest dispute is likely to fuel further debate over transparency, market integrity and the administration's handling of the Iran crisis.

With military tensions continuing and the ceasefire already under pressure, the political fallout now extends beyond foreign policy, raising fresh questions over how and when critical government decisions are communicated to the public and financial markets.
