"This was a bribe," wrote Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health, in a social media post. "UAE royals gave the Trump family $500 million, and Trump, in his presidential capacity, gave them access to tightly guarded American AI chips. The most powerful person on the planet, also happens to be the most shamelessly corrupt."

Jesse Eisinger, reporter and editor at ProPublica, argued that the Abu Dhabi investment into the Trump cypto firm "should rank among the greatest US scandals ever."

We have no idea how we got our hands on all those Invidia chips that we have wanted for so long. Got them on Amazon, maybe?

The White House is a Profit Center for the Trump Crime Family.

And Trumpers couldn't care less... very patriotic, eh?

Trump and his family have so far made $4 BILLION from profiteering. This term ...

Where are all the "Constitutional originalists" who used to flood threads with cries about upholding the Constitution.

That's just the Emoluments Clause.

First Amendment, Fourteenth Amendment, and more violated every single day by this administration.
