I disagree. I think the money trail in family accounts of others in politics tells a different story.

Okay. First, Trump is a convicted felon. Second, he organized a violent coup attempt on Jan. 6. Third, his war on Iraq is clearly unconstitutional.
Tons more.

This conversation is not about Jan 6, it is about lobbyists and buying access to power, hence my posts being about that.

And Iran is spelled with an "n" not a "q"... And tell me how it is unconstitutional. The constitution and the War Powers Act allow him this authority.

if the Biden crime family was associated with any of the above while Biden was POTUS you and the magats would have had heart attacks.

Your rage that somehow Joe could benefit from Hunter selling paintings to 'unknown people' or the potential those 'unknown people' were 'buying favors from Joe's Admin' is the proof of that.

Meanwhile you will play equivocation games about the below as if every POTUS does it.

The Trump family, including Jared Kushner, has expanded into various industries where their business interests coincide with significant government influence. Below is a chart detailing major business ventures and the associated benefits or potential conflicts cited by watchdogs and official reports.
Trump & Kushner Business & Influence Chart
Business EntityKey Family Member(s)Primary IndustryGovernment-Related Benefit / Conflict of Interest
Affinity PartnersJared KushnerPrivate EquitySecured $2 billion from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and $1.5 billion from Qatari and UAE funds shortly after leaving the White House.
Truth Social (TMTG)Donald TrumpSocial Media / TechAs a publicly traded company, it allows foreign interests or lobbyists to potentially influence Trump by purchasing stock or advertising.
World Liberty FinancialTrump Family (Eric, Don Jr.)CryptocurrencyA crypto platform promoted by the family; concerns exist that federal policy shifts in crypto could directly boost its value.
Mar-a-Lago & ClubsDonald TrumpHospitality / Real EstateInitiation fees rose from $100,000 to $1 million after his political rise. Foreign officials and lobbyists often book stays to "curry favor".
Dar Global PartnershipsTrump OrganizationLuxury Real EstateNew deals for Trump-branded towers and resorts in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar involve state-affiliated entities.
Belgrade Hotel ProjectJared Kushner / Trump OrgReal EstateA luxury development in Serbia on the site of the former Yugoslav Defense Ministry; struck days before Trump’s second inauguration.
Ivanka Trump TrademarksIvanka TrumpRetail / FashionWhile serving as an advisor, she received dozens of foreign trademarks (notably from China), raising concerns about favorable treatment by foreign governments.
Personal Bond PortfolioDonald TrumpFinanceTrump purchased nearly 700 bonds in 2025, including municipal and bank bonds (e.g., Morgan Stanley, Citigroup), while his administration oversees the Fed and federal funding.
Summary of Proposed Benefits
  • Foreign Investment Capital: Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners manages over $6 billion, 99% of which is from foreign sources. He collects an estimated $25 million annually in management fees regardless of the fund's profit performance.
  • Direct Access Revenue: Ethics groups like CREW have tracked thousands of conflicts where taxpayer funds or foreign government spending (at hotels and resorts) flowed directly into Trump’s private businesses.
  • Policy-Driven Valuation: Critics argue that new ventures in crypto and social media allow for "opaque" influence-buying, as these businesses' values are highly sensitive to administrative rhetoric and regulatory decisions.

They want to compare a base impulse that all humans have when someone makes things difficult for you, with a mental illness. They expect lockstep, because that is what they are doing with Trump. They act like a little kid when someone was mean to Daddy.

Inversion fallacy. You are describing yourself and other Democrats.

It is about corruption of Donald Trump. So 100% relevant.

Not really. Are you going to tell me how many library books he turned in late and how that one math book had its cover torn? Throwing everything at the wall and hoping some of it sticks doesn't change that the type of graft we are talking about in this thread is rampant among politicians does not change with you talking about Jan 6.

Trump is the worst president in American history

Donald Trump has turned the presidency into a money-printer
inews.co.uk inews.co.uk

The article argues that Donald Trump is, in the author’s view, “the worst president ever” based on several themes the writer lays out. It frames this as an opinion grounded in the author’s interpretation of Trump’s actions, rhetoric, and impact on American institutions.

Here are the core points the article makes:

  • Damage to democratic norms: The author claims Trump repeatedly undermined trust in elections, institutions, and the rule of law, portraying this as unprecedented in modern U.S. history.
  • Handling of national crises: The piece criticizes Trump’s approach to major events during his presidency, arguing that his decisions worsened national divisions and weakened public confidence.
  • Leadership style and conduct: The writer describes Trump’s behavior as chaotic, self‑interested, and antagonistic, suggesting it harmed both domestic governance and America’s global reputation.
  • Long‑term consequences: The article argues that Trump’s influence continues to shape political polarization and institutional instability, which the author views as part of his negative legacy.
  • Comparison to past presidents: While not providing a systematic ranking, the author asserts that no previous president, in their view, caused comparable institutional and cultural damage.
