"What's to stop a foreign government, eager to bribe the American president, from quietly dumping money into Trump’s crypto project, effectively making direct payments to the president without public disclosure? Nothing." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

It is WAY past time to impeach.
The grifter is just grifting right out in the open. SMH
Grifter-in-Chief...
This is one of the things I cited when I called my congressman Jack Bergman today to demand impeachment proceedings.
I've been saying this since the China made maga hats have been sold!
That WAS the whole point. Money laundering, grift, corruption!
Nothing. There seems to be total lack of accountability for Trump’s crimes and unethical behavior.
I'm sure it's well underway. This is trump we're considering. Filling his pockets, at any cost, has always been his life's goal.
I am realizing that today is you last regular day. I will be so grateful for the opportunity that your nightly program has informed me and others of the history of our world and generated questions about our current situation. I am sad and I’m not sure what to expect from here on in.
He is a crook and is selling our country-who can stop this!!!!
Perhaps that is the reason he start up the crypto project, in the passed he was against it.
Nothing is right. All of this is utterly chilling.
tRump, vAnts & jOhnson are criminals. They disappear, kidnap & traffic immigrants & US citizens (children with stage 4 cancer) to foreign countries, blatantly ignoring direct rulings of federal courts. Every agency provided to help Americans is rendered ineffective. WE THE PEOPLE MUST STOP THIS 5/1
This and having Doge have access to all of our data are the longer term real damage
Hustler 👎🤬🤬🤮👿
🍊🤡💩 once said he is the only one who could profit on the presidency.
well Duh - no one seems to care about GOP corruption so American can go down the shitter, I guess, bless yer soul.
Oh, boy. 😡 “…That said, if there are still officials looking for a burgeoning controversy surrounding a president and the potential for possible bribes, do I have a story for them. NBC News reported: President Donald Trump and his allies have raked in nearly $900,000 in trading fees…”
“…over the past two days from the president’s $TRUMP cryptocurrency token, according to Chainalysis, a blockchain data company. The surge came after a Wednesday announcement in which the top 220 holders of the token were promised dinner with the president.” Felon-in-chief! 😡 😡 😡
#Impeach and Convict Donald Trump
www.forbes.com/sites/mollyb...
Next Congress? This corrupt, shameless clown has the guts to investigate ActBlue!!! This GOP Congress is useless - Speaker Johnson is a disgrace!
And the DOJ and the coward GOP representatives will do absolutely nothing about any of it. Also, all the "deals" he's making with countries on tariffs are really just more grifts to enrich his family. Trump Tower in Vietnam?!
Watching who attracts zero or low tariffs might be a clue.
What about the emoluments clause? Isn’t the Meme scheme a violation?
Yes. The DOJ is under Trump, so no prosecution is coming. The GOP supports corruption, so no impeachment is coming. Laws are useless without people in power acting in good faith.
Always a con man. Worst president ever.
Anyone think Mike Johnson support impeach Orange freak? Does anyone read the constitution only Congress can impeach the president? So stop asking impeach!
Once he’s out of office, will the treasury seize all of his illegal emoluments?
That's exactly what is happening
That's the whole point.
📢🗳️VOTE Special elections tomorrow APRIL 29th. IOWA ➡️ Angel Ramirez for House. MINNESOTA ➡️ Denise Slipy for Senate. ramirezforiowa.com slipy4senate.com
Those $ are foreign emoluments and unconstitutional
Investigate this !!!!
The funny thing is, Trump’s probably only in this to: 1)Avoid jail 2)Enrich himself He can get as rich as he wants, but he’ll never be able to outrun the law, which will eventually catch up with him. He can’t flee to Mars with all his money, so someday, he and his family will pay the piper.
www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
What about his stock DJT. The company loses hundreds of millions and only grossed 3.5M (yes million) yet has a valuation in the billions. Pls look at the underlying debt - most of which is convertible to stock - so ppl cal funnel $$ to him AND get a tax loss for a political contribution.
I thought that was point of trump’s klepto crypto.
The better question to ask is if a foreign government walked in and asked him to do something like hand over the nuclear codes or every top secret document...., who is going to stand up and stop him? The republican congress seems like they will just applaud and call it "great negotiating".
I am so angry and depressed that absolutely no politicians are standing up, challenging this “administration”, facing him, and saying “NO !”. No spines whatsoever !! We are absolutely going to end up in a very bad place, that is not America, if things do not change soon.
Guaranteed this is already happening.
The hotel from last time had too much overhead.
Thank you Rachel for pointing out the crypto money being funneled to line the pockets of Trump
"What's to stop a foreign government, eager to bribe ... "? How does one know it's not already happening? So many Trump events where big $ donations buy admission tickets & now, so much $ can be moved around behind the secrecy of crypto.
He's cashing in early... before the Supreme Court wakes up to how much criming he is actually doing.
I'd say the founders couldn't have imagined this kind of thing being president but they did own slaves so they were certainly familiar with the lowest elected officials can go. On that note, would we be surprised if Trump dabbles with slavery? Seriously. I would not.
www.bbc.com/news/article...
Scarry evil crap again.
You haven’t done quite enuf to earn back my trust. All the BS b4 the election made me stop watching back in October. The MSNBC narrative & your own agenda did that re Biden & Harris. It’s not enuf, Rachel. It’s not enuf. And it’s only gotten more difficult to trust. I’m Katie Phang all the way.
Yet, in this country, at this very moment, this idiot is getting away with it. Are we truly powerless to do anything about this?!?
That's his plan.
But distract by going after ActBlue.
His son opened The Executive Branch club to allow rich access to the WH cabinet www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
Elect a crook, what does anyone expect?
Let's take a picture of all the immigrants who work for Trump! Do his lawn, clean his house, drive him, cook the meals, change diapers, wash his back, pick the flowers ..... and then we can send them to El Salvador because they are illegals, and we pay for the trip and their salaries!
Duh
Why would they do it secretly? That would indicate they have shame and none of America's allies - Russia, Israel, North Korea - know the concept of shame.
Remember the lengths they went to to dig up Biden dirt? This guy is all corruption all the time in plain sight.
So is it still corruption if it's recognized & ignored? Or is it the new normal? 🤔
If a Democrat president did this the GOP would be bleeding out of their eyes! How the AF is this happening without ANY consequences! 😡

Biggest grift in the history of grifts and happening right before our eyes with no checks and balances.
Yep!👍
And the grift goes on .
What's to stop that crypto from being used to pay sabatours to attack military bases and places on our soil to provoke war or martial law?
I think that’s the point. He doesn’t have the fancy DC hotel anymore to skim off the top. The crypto grift is easier and more lucrative and nearly impossible to prove. Our corrupt government is now obsequiously corrupt.
Probably already happening …. Putin ??
Seems pretty clear to me that the “200 deals” he referred to in his Time interview are the 200 award recipients currently on offer for the top 200 investors in his crypto scam.
What's 2 stop HIM from stealing from the taxpayers money & funneling it 2 Putin?
Please don’t leave us. We need you 5 days/week!
Thing is, why bother paying him ATP? He is already doing everything a president would do if he was an agent of a foreign adversary trying to destroy the United States.
you'd think that our Congress would step up and do something about this, wouldn't you
All djt’s actions are only to put money in his pockets with political favors included
Where is the report of the filed Impeachment???? Main line media is sleeping or paid off!!??
I'm sure they already are
“But he donated his salary” ⬅️ magas favorite line
I hear that all the time..
Yep, and I don't believe it.
Authoritarian just as his recent EO: open.substack.com/pub/geekyner...
Bribery is pretty much the goal of Trump's crypto project.
This is where anonymous comes in. Thank God for them.
"Presidency For Sale ... awful :-(
And it seems like the majority of people don't care
I maintain the Crypto is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme. Trump is never worried about anything but money and how to get it. The most reprehensible thing in the US ever.
Why isn't Crypto regulated?
It is a very illegal comprising position and should be stomped into the ground. We know exactly what a criminal like Trump intends to do with this type of hidden from the public’s eyes financial scheme.
We need to reach 12 million and more as fast as we can for the Peaceful Protests to be effective. We need to boycott as many goods and companies as possible. We have to come together as "We the People" to overcome this regime. This is "Mayday for May Day" youtu.be/tklD9g5qvRQ?...

Bad ideas, done badly because he never understood the difference between a business concern or a fully service entity such as government! Government officials cannot cherry which or what they will service! All in one & one for all
How in God’s name is this even allowed???????
That's what Roy Cohn told Trump from his deathbed: "It's all about merch," Donald, "don't forget the merch!"
I’m sure it’s already happened.
This is disgraceful
The corrupt scam artist is so sure of himself, his “deals for dough” are now totally public. A con man belongs in prison , not the Whitehouse. Time to Stop The Real Steal - and take back our country.
This needs to stop. Now.
Nothing
It’s already happening and Putin gets a share
The guy is a crook!
Yes, he is—all we can bank on is that he has poor health.
Russian oligarchs Ponzi scheme.
Where is the Supreme Court
Are we sure it hasn't already happened?
I was thinking the same thing.
That's not the current situation. North Korea could deliver a suitcase of cash to the White House and to Trump with full press coverage, and the GOP and DOJ would still do nothing. Any lawsuit would reach the Supreme Court that would find no violation. That's the reality of the US.
Deleted X for Bluesky
Welcome 🤗
When he is done he will be among the worlds first trillionaires

Only one way to resolve this: Abolish the class of billionaires, seize their assets and distribute them among the rest of us. Simple and straightforward … who’s in?
Why should that be any less legal than what Trump is doing to the United States? Good idea!
Rachel one of the Democrat's problems is the delivery of messaging. Health care, not abortion, rights for all people, not one particular subject. Not getting one person out of jail by face but all Citizen's rights. We have to understand the cult is vested in their agenda. Please help.
What happened to the Emoullument clause stating that the President can’t use his position to earn personal income???????
And he won’t have to pay a cent of taxes on any of this money! 😡
This is trump just being the criminal felon he is and always will be. IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE.
But wasn’t that his goal?
That’s exactly what’s happening. Right now, as I type, has been since 2015.
This is PRECISELY why it was established.
News flash: they’re already doing it.
Looking like crap
Congress? Oh wait, we don’t have a real one anymore!
Absolutely spot on @maddow.msnbc.com. Now consider the same question re: the US Sovereign Wealth Fund. How will it be funded? Who are the Trustees? What is the transparency regarding investors, trades & more? Will the proposed "national" cryptocurrency be used to fund it? We the People are asking.
🤬🤬🤬
Spot on Rachel! All in trumpy's realm, are so slimy and corrupt! I'm waiting for the orange monstrosity, to announce to America, he's changing our monetary system to crypto currency! 🤑
It's an embarrassing time to be an American.
Yes.
I'll bet it's being offshored as fast as he can rake it in. The orange demagogue is a flight risk! 😉
Xactly
Let them waste their money that way. Crypto currency is not real money. Just try and go to any retail store or restaurant and pay your tab with cryptocurrency. See how far you get. A fool and their money will soon be departed.
Let them waste their money that way. Crypto currency is not real money. You can't spend it on anything real. Just try and go to a retail store or restaurant and by with cryptocurrency. See how far you get.
Turns out it's a bad idea to have so many grifters in high places.
Oh, now you're just showing off, Don! 🤣
That’s our President . . . for now. PEW RESEARCH: “Trump’s approval rating is currently at 39%. A majority of voters disapprove of his handling of key issues, particularly the economy where 61% express dissatisfaction…” Republicans will lose the House and Senate in 2026, and the Presidency in 2028.
He’s such a slippery con
@schiff.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov
John Roberts says its cool.
You make it sound as if it ‘could’ happen. I’m sure it has already.
Our Rachel is finishing up her 100 days @maddow.msnbc.com weeknights. Jen Psaki will take over the 9p hour. No more Alex Wagner. Like Katie Pfang, she's been DEIed.
If Trump is displaying high levels of corruption in public. Imagine what he’s doing in private. Manipulating the stock market. Hiring people that are incompetent weakens our countries defense against Russia and China. Are we not scared about the future for our children?
Exactly ! Nothing. It will fill a lot of pockets.
Impeach! Arrest! Prosecute!
Fucking facism and grifter gift giving
So much wrong with this but it bugs me that he is auctioning off a dinner in the WH and putting the money in HIS pocket. Everything about this dinner will be paid by tax dollars‼️
I wait for the day he is incarcerated or dies.. get after the whole mob family and make it the money of the American people to fight those who donated the money.
NOTHING!
And no one can do anything about it. Musk defanged regulatory agencies, Trump owns SCOTUS and Congress. Let's say it's not an ideal situation.
I guess we have to rely on foreign governments to recognize what a con trump is and choose not to try to bribe him?
Putin wants to destroy the value of the $
Easier to just say “trumps crypto GRIFT is rolling out the red carpet for bribery”
Once a thief...
Didn't his media stock just go up 57%? Everything else is level or dropping. Nothing to see here?
Well I'd say disgraceful poll-crushing optics, but who are we kidding. What would a private conversation with Trump be like? Would he just confess it was all BS, or would it be like looking into blank eyes and a black soul?
America is officially a lawless nation!!
Yes, it is but not under Democrats! Keep that thought.
Already been done..
This is one of the main reasons against ratifying the new Constitution - fear that this would happen and the people's freedom would be stolen. See the books about the voting/conversations in 1788. They didn't anticipate party loyalty becoming more important than patriotism.
What new constitution?
Although a meme coin is a cryptocurrency, its value is determined primarily by the value associated with the issuer. Buyer beware!
With Trump in office, ethics has left the building, and no one cares who could actually stop it.
Jail for multiple crimes.
Ethics. Ethics would stop it. LOL. Just kidding.
He’ll need that money to pay for his attorneys and bail…second thought, no bail!
That's one reason he started it
Good question!
Against Federal law.
He must spend most of his time thinking about ways to fleece people. A normal person invites friends over for dinner. Trump charges strangers stacks of money for the "privilege" of being in the same room with him.
They're going to be mighty pissed when he's over and the real government takes the stage.
We are seeing corruption at a level never seen before. cbwrong.blogspot.com?m=1
Keep this in mind: Donald Trump has no bottom.
MAGA needs to get it that they put a Criminal in the White House.
He's a crook.
Bribes would definitely warm the cockles of Trump’s heart (assuming he actually has one)!
I mean he makes fees off of all transactions, so..
📌
I'm sure Trump/Miller are counting on it.
Err…they did. As soon as it opened KSA investors were noted.
Can a legal expert explain why Trumps coin is NOT a monopoly ⁉️ What makes it valuable is being President, as only one person can be President at a time it’s a monopoly. And it should all be public money, less operational cost. A stamp with presidential portrait NOT for personal profit.
This money is ill gotten and therefore is our’s the citizens of The United States of America.
Bribery is an impeachable offense.
While I appreciate hearing the truth. Another article about all the lawlessness of this admin is sooo frustrating when no one can or will stop it from continuing.
Sell out.
constitution.congress.gov
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, ..... from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
Amazing NO ONE in our government can enforce the laws we already have in
Something which isn’t supposed to happen during a presidency
Sadly, our great nation’s high-powered, life-tenured, independent judiciary failed to interpret - first impression - our Constitution’s two Emoluments Clauses in an entire presidential term.
Yup, he has already made millions. President inc is what he is.
Nothing as that's its purpose
I think that’s what it was set up for.
