The Most Corrupt U.S. Presidency Ever: A Video Roundup
Our late-September collection of clips on the MAGA man's monetization mission
Dear Readers:
From converting his craven schemes for personal financial gain into policies to encouraging outright bribery, one of the Trump administration’s defining traits has been the systematic use of executive power to enrich the president, his family, and his inner circle. The Trump White House has turned governing into a pay-to-play racket, where loyalty is rewarded with cash and contracts, ethics rules are shredded as “technicalities,” and national security is just another bargaining chip for the family business.
Three of my latest videos tackle this issue head on. Taken together, they portray a government not just corrupted by grift but built upon it.

Trump’s Not-So-Subtle Chips for Crypto Quid Pro Quo
September 26, 2025
A recent New York Times investigation revealed that at the same time that Trump officials were negotiating a deal to sell advanced U.S. AI chips to the United Arab Emirates, a government-backed Emirati firm were committing $2 billion to a venture via World Liberty Financial, a crypto company co-founded by the Trumps and the family of his Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff.
The overlap of people, money, and timing makes it hard to see these as anything but connected and coordinated. As our Executive Watch brief put it:
Donald Trump campaigned as the populist champion of the regular guy against “the elites.” Yet his actual administration has been entirely about building a giant gilded ballroom at the White House where rich guys in tuxedos can trade favors, and holding meetings on mega yachts with Arab sheikhs so he can line his own pockets.

Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan Took a $50k Bribe—Trump’s FBI Then Stepped In to Shut Down the Investigation
September 25, 2025
Trump’s hardline border czar, Tom Homan, is at the center of a bribery scandal after undercover FBI agents allegedly caught him accepting a bag stuffed with $50,000 in cash in exchange for promising lucrative border enforcement contracts.
While DOJ officials initially pursued the case, Trump appointees—the same ones who earlier had abruptly closed the investigation into New York City Mayor Eric Adams to secure his cooperation on immigration enforcement—swooped in to shut it down, dismissing it as a “deep state” setup. The brazenness of the cover-up reveals that this isn’t the case of “a few bad apples”—the entire administration is rotten to the core.

New Trump Investment Funds Exemplify the Art of the Steal
September 24, 2025
Trump Media & Technology Group, parent company of Truth Social, recently registered five new America First-themed exchange-traded funds with the SEC. As executive, the president serves as both a regulator of these financial products and—despite having placed his assets into a (revocable) trust—a direct beneficiary of them.
In the following video, I show how this setup raises glaring questions about conflicts of interest—essentially letting Trump profit off of a market that his administration oversees.

I wish somebody would make a list of all of Trump's suspicious dealings while in office, one that carefully highlights the *evidence* in each case. Because if there's one problem us antitrumpers consistently sure from, it's "preaching to the choir syndrome". Even just the simple tendency to focus on one case of corruption at a time (because that's how news works - you only talk about whatever is "new") misses the forest for the trees.
When it comes to World Liberty Financial, according to one of Ezra Klein's interviews, this is not a standard cryptocurrency, rather it is unusually unfavorable to buyers and unusually beneficial to Trump. But what's the evidence of this? Anyone not already in the choir needs to see the evidence.
And let us not forget the emoluments clause of the Constitution, which Trump has been breaking from day one of term one.
If you want to get rid of Donald Trump then we have to get the democrats the house majority.
Everyone has to educate the republican congress representatives and senators about Trump raping women and children.
Write letters and emails to your state congress representatives and senators.
THE EPSTEIN/TRUMP FILES HAVE TO BE RELEASED.
There are house representatives that don't know how evil/corrupt Trump and his network actually are.
The Republican house representatives are telling their constituents that they are voting to release the Epstein files and bring the people involved with raping women and children to justice.
That is false. Someone has instructed all of these lowlifes to tell their constituents this.
Make sure you vote for a democrat congress representative in 2026. Otherwise Trump and his corrupt network will continue their destruction of the United States
