This is corruption on a breathtaking level. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi royal nicknamed the "spy sheikh", pumped $187mn into Trump family businesses. A WSJ team has the whole story, reported here for the first time. Remember: Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

More: "Why in the world was Donald Trump trying to ship off our state-of-the-art chips to the UAE " and China " when American startups, universities, and small businesses need them here at home?" Warren is expected to ask on the floor when she introduces her resolution. A draft of it has been viewed by CNBC. "Well, now we know that the UAE greased the skids months earlier when it secretly agreed to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into a Trump family crypto venture just four days before President Trump's inauguration."

Oh, [waving arms] pick me, pick me ....

Because the "deal" benefits the Trump empire, and not the United States.

Indeed, the "deal" runs counter to the security ~strategy~ of the US.

Which is why we have not sold that level of chips to the UAE previously.

Pres Trump has shown that his policies in the Oval office can now be purchased.

But, Pres Trump got a shiny new plane, and how much money?, to approve this deal?

America is for sale, by someone who clearly is out to loot the treasury and every part of America he can. When the Soviet Empire fell, the oligarchs looted the treasury and grabbed pretty much everything that wasn't nailed down...and it sure does seem to me that Trump and his gang are doing the same thing.
