It simply cannot be over-stated. Trump, his paid-for bride and his failsons (and in-laws) are selling America to the highest bidder — and are pocketing graft, all along the way.
Likely now, into the high single digits of billions, for the family’s personal coffers. Here’s that all too UN-surprising story, from the Brits, at The Guardian:
…A crusading prosecutor in the Balkans comes under pressure to drop a big case. Vietnamese villagers learn they are to be evicted. A convicted crypto kingpin in the Gulf receives a pardon.
All have one thing in common: they appear to be connected to the Trump family’s campaign to amass riches around the world. Since Donald Trump’s re-election a year ago, warnings that his use of presidential power to advance personal interests is corroding American democracy have grown ever louder. What is less understood — and perhaps even more dangerous — is the damage this is doing everywhere else.
Trump’s eldest sons, Don Jr and Eric, formally the custodians of the family business, are conducting a global dealmaking blitz. They have broken ground on new golf courses, received permission for new skyscrapers, rented out the Trump brand, and in cryptocurrency they have embraced a venture with the capacity to bring in more than everything that has gone before….
Kristofer Harrison, a senior foreign policy official under President George W. Bush — who now runs an anti-corruption organisation called the Dekleptocracy Project — is among those accusing the Trumps of operating a “pay to play” system that benefits those who do business with the president’s family.
Such an approach could be manipulated, he said, especially by rival powers such as China. He said: “Trump has made authoritarians’ wildest dreams come true….”
To anyone with a working fore-brain, the conflicts of interest — and thus, the resulting payoffs/bribes are… obvious. But thus far, no court of law has found that the Trump Family™ is a… criminal enterprise. We all already know it is. Damn.
