President Trump's crypto corruption is so bad the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board agrees with me. In their words, it appears to be a "conflict of interest in selling access to the President." Congress cannot pass crypto legislation without putting a stop to this.

Experts tell NPR the gift violates the Foreign Emoluments Clause and raises questions about what Qatar might expect from Trump in return. It's not clear whether critics in Congress can stop it from happening.

Donald Trump's plan to accept a $400 million jet from a foreign government is corrupt and unconstitutional. He’s making deals for himself while making life less affordable for you.

The Qatari jet bribe saves NO MONEY, because Trump keeps it after he’s president! Democrats, why arent you making it clear to any nation bribing Trump or hosting American prisoners, that there will be hell to pay when Dems are in charge?! Discourage further corruption!

This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.

Due process just means making you follow the rules and letting judges determine if you did. How is that bad? It’s literally part of why we rebelled against Great Britain.

As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU. China doesn't pay a single penny. You, the consumer, do.
