/

Do Donald Trump and his family “actually give a fuck” about appearing to profit from his presidency? Evidence is mounting that they don’t.

10 Ways to Enrich the Trumps and the MAGA Movement

/

Eight years ago, if you wanted to line the first family’s pockets, your choices—while ethically unprecedented—were limited. There was only so much you could spend on hotel rooms or Mar-a-Lago fundraisers.

The Qatari 747 Is Just the Latest Mega-Donation Flowing to Trump’s “Library”

/

President Donald Trump insists that accepting a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar’s ruling family would not amount to a huge bribe. That’s because this opulent new Air Force One would go to his “library”—not to him personally—when he leaves office. That, at least, is what the president claimed amid concern that he […]

Trump Promised No New Business Deals With Foreign Governments. He Lied.

/

This story was originally published by Popular Information, a substack publication to which you can subscribe here. On January 10, 2025, President Trump released an “ethics agreement” detailing how he would handle his personal business interests while in the White House. It is remarkably weak and does not require Trump to divest any of his holdings. Unlike a similar […]

Trump’s Mob-like Shakedown: A Scandal Starring “60 Minutes,” Paramount, and the FCC

Corporate Chiefs Gave Trump’s Inaugural Committee $250 Million. Benefits Abound.

/

Donald Trump’s inaugural committee raised almost $250 million, much of it from donors who are seeking—and in many cases have already received—valuable favors from the administration of the famously transactional president. The Wall Street Journal, which reviewed the committee’s filing ahead of a Sunday deadline, reported that the funding haul far exceeded what the committee […]
