The TOP 9!!!!!!!!!! entries on day 109-110 are about corruption.


🔥 In Corruption News

1. Large Investors Pour Hundreds of Millions Into Trump Media

What Happened: SEC filings show that major institutional investors, including Charles Schwab Investment Management and Australia’s Hancock Prospecting, significantly increased their holdings in Trump Media and Technology Group despite the company’s massive losses in 2024.

Why It Matters: These investments reek of political payoffs, not legitimate business decisions. Trump still holds shares in TMTG, which is now pushing a crypto venture advised by Schwab and expanding inside federal agencies. The surge in stock buys lines up with Trump policies that directly benefit these insiders—raising red flags about market manipulation and brazen corruption.

2. In Mideast, Trump Prioritizes Business Over Geopolitics, Blurs Line with Family Deals

What Happened: Trump’s first major foreign trip centers on business deals in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE—deliberately skipping Israel and sidestepping urgent regional crises like Gaza and Iran’s nuclear threat. The visit closely follows new Trump Organization activity in the Gulf, reiterating that diplomacy is being used to chase private profits.

Why It Matters: Trump is using foreign policy as a pay-to-play scheme, putting personal profit ahead of American interests, allies, strategy, and human rights. His Gulf deals—some tied to his and his family’s business—send a clear message: corruption comes first, and authoritarian regimes are welcome partners.

3. Trump in talks with Qatar over plane gift

What Happened: Trump is negotiating with Qatar for a $400 million aircraft—modeled after his gaudy gold Trump Tower aesthetic—to use as Air Force One, with plans to later transfer it to his presidential library. The gift would violate the Constitution’s emoluments clause, which bars foreign gifts without congressional approval.

Why It Matters: Accepting a $400 million gift from a foreign country is blatant corruption. It sets a dangerous precedent, especially with Trump’s business ties to Qatar, and erases any line between public office and personal enrichment — just like in Russia.

Jared Kushner Quietly Advising Trump Administration Ahead of Middle East Trip

What Happened: Jared Kushner is informally advising Trump officials ahead of Trump’s Middle East visit, guiding talks with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. While not part of the official delegation, Kushner is helping shape efforts to secure economic agreements, leveraging his personal ties to Arab leaders.

Why It Matters: Kushner’s role is pure self-dealing—shaping Middle East policy while cashing in on Gulf money. He has billions pouring in from Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, and this is more corruption in plain sight.

Trump, Raking In Cash, Expands His Power in the G.O.P. Money World

What Happened: Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc., has raised $400 million since the 2024 election, while Trump allies have taken over key Republican congressional super PACs. Formerly independent groups like the Congressional Leadership Fund and Senate Leadership Fund are now closely aligned with the White House, filled with loyalists and Trump campaign veterans.

Why It Matters: Trump has turned the GOP into a loyalty cult, sidelining moderates and taking over key fundraising and strategy. The 2026 midterms won’t be about policy—it will be a Musk-funded purge of anyone who defies him.

SEC Settles with Trump-Linked Crypto Firm, Commissioner Calls It a “Tremendous Disservice”

What Happened: The SEC reached a controversial settlement with Ripple Labs, a crypto firm tied to Trump, allowing it to recover $75 million of a previously imposed $125 million fine. The deal would also lift a prior injunction against the company.

Why It Matters: SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw called the deal a “tremendous disservice,” warning it guts crypto enforcement and puts investors at risk. Ripple, a Trump donor with insider access, is reaping the rewards.

Elon Musk’s Regulatory Woes Are Conveniently Vanishing Under Trump

What Happened: Since Trump’s return, over 40 regulatory cases involving Musk’s companies—SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink—have stalled or been quietly dropped. Investigations into labor abuses, discrimination, and animal cruelty were shut down or gutted after Musk took power and helped dismantle federal oversight across key agencies.

Why It Matters: Musk, once facing over $2.3 billion in fines, now operates with legal impunity while raking in billions in federal contracts. A Senate report says he’s dismantling the government for personal gain, as Trump protects his empire and pushes Musk’s projects.

Trump to Sign Order Discouraging Criminal Enforcement of Regulatory Offenses

What Happened: Trump plans to sign an executive order directing federal agencies to scale back the use of criminal charges for regulatory violations. The order mandates agencies to publish lists of offenses that could trigger prosecution and provide guidance to limit referrals unless clear criminal intent is involved.

Why It Matters: This is part of a long-running conservative effort to gut federal oversight by labeling it “overcriminalization.” This will let corporations off the hook, especially in food, drug, and environmental safety, by making it harder to hold them accountable for breaking the law.

Meet the Top Donors to Trump’s $239 Million Inauguration Fund

What Happened: Trump raised a record-shattering $239 million for his 2025 inauguration, bankrolled by crypto firms, tech giants, and companies under investigation. Donors included Ripple Labs, JPMorgan Chase, Uber, and OpenAI’s Sam Altman. Over $16 million came from Trump appointees or their spouses—many of whom were rewarded with government positions.

Why It Matters: Trump’s 2025 inauguration haul doubled that of 2017, exposing the growing merger of political power and corporate money. Some major donors hold key government posts, highlighting pay-to-play schemes, regulatory favors, and a system where tech, crypto, and energy giants can buy influence—and immunity.

Musk Put Him in the Treasury Department. His Company Has Federal Contracts Worth Millions

What Happened: Tom Krause, CEO of Cloud Software Group, has been appointed the Treasury Department’s fiscal assistant secretary while retaining his private-sector role. Cloud Software holds federal contracts worth up to $11.8 million, including deals with the Treasury.

Why It Matters: This unprecedented dual role raises significant conflict-of-interest concerns, as Krause could influence federal contracting decisions that benefit his company, undermining ethical safeguards in government procurement.

Trump Sons’ Deals on Three Continents Directly Benefit the President

What Happened: Eric and Donald Trump Jr. have launched a global spree of lucrative real estate, crypto, and membership club ventures—spanning the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Washington, D.C.—that directly funnel money back to Trump. These deals include a $1 billion Dubai tower, crypto partnerships tied to foreign governments, and a $500,000-per-member private club in D.C. Many of the ventures are coordinated with foreign officials, often in countries where Trump has substantial diplomatic influence.

Why It Matters: This is kleptocracy in action. Trump is openly profiting from the presidency through his sons’ deals while dismantling oversight and gutting regulatory enforcement. Foreign governments and business elites are paying Trump’s family for access and protection—undermining U.S. ethics rules and endangering national security.

What We Know About Trump’s $1.5 Million-a-Head Fund-Raising Dinner

What Happened: Trump headlined a $1.5 million-per-person “crypto and AI” dinner at his Virginia golf club to raise funds for MAGA Inc., his super PAC that backs loyalist candidates and threatens GOP dissenters. The event featured top crypto allies like David Sacks and was closed to the press.

Why It Matters: Trump is selling influence to the highest bidders—using AI and crypto hype to bankroll his movement, reward loyalists, and shape the GOP into a pay-to-play machine. This is what naked corruption looks like.
