‘Donald Trump’s 10 most outrageous displays of corruption’: President brutally ripped by senator​


President Donald Trump has been in the headlines plenty across the past couple of weeks, and a good bit of that has come with accusations of corruption.


From his memecoin to a $400 million flying palace from Qatar, the president has faced plenty of blowback, but perhaps none as detailed as what Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) delivered on the floor this week.



“Today, I want to talk about the 10 best deals for Donald Trump and the worst deals for the American people,” Schiff said. “How the graft is on full display, and how you, the American people are being left holding the bag.”


Schiff shared the video to X and said it laid out “Donald Trump’s 10 most outrageous displays of corruption yet.”



He then broke each display into its own piece of counted down from 10. What Schiff wrote on X and said on the floor is below:



10. Donald Trump and Elon Musk turning the White House Lawn into a Tesla showroom. As repayment? A $100,000,000 gift from Elon to Donald Trump’s personal political apparatus.”



“Just before Trump turned the White House grounds into a used car lot, Tesla stock had been in a historic and disastrous slump,” Schiff said. “When the president was asked whether his symbolic purchase of a Tesla at the White House might help the company’s stock, Trump said, ‘I hope it does.’ But that wasn’t all. Because not long after the special live stream on X, or Twitter had ended, something more important happened. With Tesla shares on the rebound, Elon Musk promised to pump $100 million into Donald Trump’s political operation. That’s right, Donald Trump received one of the largest political contributions in American history all for the price of one measly Tesla model S and the use of the White House as a sales room. A damn good deal for Donald Trump if you ask me. For you, the American taxpayer, nothing at all.



9.Spending your tax payer dollars on golfing vacation. And charging you for all of his staff and their stays at the Trump clubs. Among all the chips, shanks and missed putts … Your wallet is what’s taking the hardest hit.



“In just his first 100 days, Donald Trump spent over a quarter of those days while in office golfing,” Schiff said. “But that’s not even the worst of it because guess who is paying for all that golf? You are. And it’s not just the use of these taxpayer funds that’s a travesty, it’s that these taxpayer dollars go to benefit him directly. His golf courses. His hotels charge the U.S. government to pay for the Secret Service agents, and other White House staff to play golf with him or to accompany him on his routes. To rent golf carts. To have meals. In other words, your tax dollars are going to the Trump hotel and golf course organizations directly.”



8. Melani’s new documentary. Amazon spending $40 million on licensing fees that go to the Trump family. Then turning around and selling $10M “sponsorships” to their billionaire friends just to get in good with the Trump family.



“Amazon is giving $40 million in cash to his family, the Trump family, to license this documentary,” Schiff said. “Direct cash into the pockets of the Trump family. Melania’s agent has been trying to sell sponsorships for the film, starting at $10 million dollars, to prominent CEOs and billionaires who were at the inauguration. In return for your sponsorship of this Melania documentary, buyers will get thanked at the end of the credits and be invited to the premier. Reportedly, Trump interests are also pitching to Hollywood for a show about Don Jr.’s time outdoors. A hunting show. Seriously. And who wouldn’t want to see it. Might be a little bit like watching Dick Cheney go hunting again.”



7. The Private Club: The Trump sons are opening an exclusive club here in Washington, D.C. called “The Executive Branch.” I wish I was kidding. If you want to get in good with the Trumps, you’ve gotta pay the cover fee. Memberships start at only $500,000.



“There is perhaps no more appropriate image of the Trump presidency than this,” Schiff said. “The Executive Branch Club is an invite only club. For insiders, for investors and for billionaires to directly line the pockets of the first family. Sending a message as clear as day to anyone who wants to do business in the United States, if you want to be with Trump, you gotta pay the cover charge.”



6. A brand new Trump International Hotel & Tower Dubai. Cash from the UAE, directly going into the pockets of Trump and his family.



“Trump International Hotel and Tower Dubai, an 80-floor behemoth,” Schiff said. “And within it, luxury residences and exorbitantly expensive hotel rooms. Apartments that start at $2 million and penthouses that’ll cost 10s of millions of dollars. Even better, if you can make the Trump only club here in D.C., there’s going to be an exclusive members only club right there in Dubai. In their words, set to redefine the meaning of exclusive luxury. All benefitting, that’s right, Donald Trump and his family.”
 
5. A new golf course in Doha. A $5.5B deal to build some new links – more hundreds of millions in cash for the Trump family and organization from a foreign government that wants to buy favor.



“Now, I’m sure Qatar’s multi-billion dollar investment in the personal finances of the Trump family is entirely coincidental,” Schiff said. ‘I am sure it is not intended to influence U.S. policy toward the country which also hosts Al-Jazeera in any way. I know it’s easy in all the Trump corruption and schemes to miss the forest for the trees, but let’s not fail to appreciate just how unprecedented this is. Just how corrupt and dangerous this is. The president’s namesake company is directly in business with a foreign government and the money is going into his pocket. Not the treasury. Not your pocket as the taxpayer. It’s going into Donald Trump and his family’s pocket.”





4. Saudi Projects galore. Remember when Jared Kusher got a $2 billion investment from the Saudis after Trump left office the first time? Well the Trump Organization is back in Saudi — and just announced three brand new projects.



“These will net the Trump family millions as well, and this isn’t the first time the Trump family has cashed in with the Saudis,” Schiff said. “Months after Trump left office the first time, Jared Kushner’s investment firm received a $2 billion dollar investment from none other than the Saudi crown prince. A deal that was so shady, even the panel that screens investments for the Saudi wealth fund recommended against it. Imagine that. But they were overruled by the Saudi royal family, and the money went straight into the Trump family’s enterprise. Two-billion dollars.”



3. Starlink deals for tariff relief. Elon Musk has his proximity to Trump to negotiate a whole raft of Starlink deals with countries desperate to get out from under tariffs. To the point where official cables essentially lay out the quid pro quo. Corruption of the highest order.



“Elon Musk, when he is not tweeting or firing essential government workers, is turning his company Starlink into a global super-power,” Schiff said. “How? By using the sway of his position and his proximity to Trump to negotiate a whole raft of deals with foreign nations to purchase his Starlink satellite systems. Just look at the nation of Lesotho located in South Africa. Donald Trump slapped crippling tariffs on the country. In hopes of a trade deal they came to the table and that meant coming to Elon Musk’s table. To understand this best, I want to read verbatim from a leaked, internal state department memo: ‘As the government of Lesotho negotiates a trade deal with the United States, it hopes that licensing Starlink, demonstrates goodwill and the intent to welcome U.S. business.’ As the government of Lesotho negotiates a trade deal with the U.S., it hopes that licensing Starlink demonstrates goodwill and intent to welcome U.S. businesses. This is from the state departments own cable in black-and-white. It’s just pay-to-play to get out from under the tariffs that Trump imposed on Lesotho. That country is going to buy Elon Musk’s satellite system. Wow. Payoff Trump’s machine and maybe you’ll get a trade deal. And of course, it’s not just the poor country of Lesotho. In February, Elon Musk met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Blair House, a government building just steps from the White House. The meeting was private, but the results were very public. Shortly after the meeting, India announced two Starlink distribution deals. Millions into Musk’s pockets, negotiated steps away from the White House. Since then, since the imposition of these tariffs, since the need of other countries to come in and negotiate tariffs away with the Trump administration, Elon Musk has reached deals with Somalia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Vietnam. And that is just what we know about so far.”



2. The 747. A nearly half a billion dollar “gift’ requiring mostly taxpayer-funded upgrades and retrofitting. That Trump then gets to keep. For his personal use.



“While American airports are in crisis, air traffic controller shortages, radar blackouts, massive delays and surging prices for you the passenger, this is what the president of the United States is focused on,” Schiff said. “Not bringing down airfare for you. Not dealing with those luggage fees and all the hidden costs when you buy airplane tickets. No, that’s not what the president of the United States cares about. This is what he cares about. He cares about getting a $400 million gift from the Qataris which he calls a nice gesture. Giving a whole new meaning to the term nice gesture. I kind of associate nice gesture with someone picking up the tab at Chipotle. Or maybe giving me a ride instead of having to take an Uber somewhere, but for Donald Trump a nice gesture is a $400 million palace in the sky that he gets to keep or make use of when he is no longer president. Never mind that the gift violates the Constitution’s prohibition on a president receiving gifts or emoluments. Never mind that it violates the Constitution. That seems to be of little consequence to the president. But the fact is the Qataris are not stupid. They are going to want something for that $400 million plane. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. There’s no such thing as a free $400 million plane. And that’s something that the countries are going to want is favorable U.S. polices towards Qatar and the Middle East. If they didn’t want something for that plane, maybe they would have given it to you or somebody else not named Trump.”



1.The meme coin. Effectively posting his Venmo account online — inviting cash payments from whoever needs to buy influence. The single most corrupt, self-serving act of any President in American history.



“You have heard about the meme coin by now. This is the logo of the meme coin. The president’s most brazen cashing in,” Schiff said. “A corrupt effort that has already made him and his family billions of dollars between its soaring values and the trading fees. This meme coin has gone up-and-down in value, but the thing is, every time it gets traded, every time it gets bought or sold, this guy gets a cut. He gets the fees. Estimated already at the value of hundreds of millions of dollars. It’s like posting his Venmo account online, inviting personal monetary tributes from foreign powers, foreign investors or anyone else who is willing to pay up. You’ve heard about the private dinner associated with this meme coin. The top 220 meme coin owners, many of whom are foreign investors, invited to a private dinner with the president of the United States. Businesses are buying and jockeying to be one of the favored few who also get a private audience with him if they are willing to buy millions of meme coins, not to mention a personal tour of the White House. But beyond the meme coins and private dinners, there’s also something else brewing behind the scenes. As I speak, Eric Trump and Don Jr. are getting into the action, jetting around the world building their own financial empire in the crypto business space. In Dubai, the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial Firm announced a joint venture capital firm backed by the government of Abu Dhabi that would invest $2 billion using Trump digital currency. Now, I know it’s hard to keep all these billions apart. You got the $2 billion investment in Jared Kushner by the Saudis. You got $5.5 billion investment by other gulf nations in Trump properties. You got $2 billion here, another $5.5 billion there, another $2 billion here and pretty soon you are talking about serious money for the Trump family. This deal alone will generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the Trump family. So, that’s the ‘Art of the Deal’ with this president. Trump gets rich. You get screwed.”

Schiff then closed by saying that Trump “does not care about you.”



“He does not about making your life better,” he said. “He does not care that prices are soaring or that home ownership seems impossible. He doesn’t care if you’ll have to choose between rent or groceries. Whether you’ll be able to take that family on the vacation that you dreamed of. He doesn’t care if the healthcare you rely on gets cut or your local social security office closes down. He doesn’t care. If it helps pay for his billionaire tax cuts, it’s all the same to him. He does not care.”



It was a pretty thorough takedown of Trump and his business dealings as president. It will be interesting to see if he responds.
 
Great article, @Magats_Love_NHB. I bet magats completely forgot about trump the two-faced sleazebag's comments from the 2016 campaign.

"Trump regularly said foreign contributions to the Clinton Foundation left Clinton hopelessly compromised and beholden to foreign entities in her job as secretary of state. He cited Middle Eastern countries — and often Qatar, specifically — while saying their human rights records made it even worse.

“It’s a criminal enterprise. Saudi Arabia giving $25 million, Qatar — all of these countries,” Trump said at an October 2016 debate with Clinton. “You talk about women and women’s rights? So these are people that push gays off buildings. These are people that kill women and treat women horribly. And yet you take their money.”

And
“Hillary took millions from Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and many other countries that horribly abuse women and LGBT citizens,” Trump said.
Trump in 2017 even said Qatar has “historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Pretty rich coming from a guy that doesn't give a shit about you. Schiff is a total piece of lying shit. Schiff was censured by Congress for lying and making patently false allegations against Trump.



So, Schiff going another round with more allegations against Trump doesn't hold much water given his history of perjury and lies about Trump who he clearly hates with a passion.

The corruption by the Democratic party, in collusion with the media, to hide his cognitive decline is unprecedented.

Their party is disintegrating before our eyes.

Now, some Democrats...yes, Democrats, are blaming "Dr." Jill for the cover up.

I agree, she is culpable.
