Trump’s White House Scheme Makes Me SICK
This is the most blatant corruption we’ve ever seen inside the presidency and no one in power is stopping it.
All right, I have some dark breaking news. Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history, and the most corrupt president is right now tearing down part of the White House to build himself a ballroom. Not a renovation, not a restoration, but a personal palace being paid for with money pulled from corporations that he pressured through lawsuits and shady deals.
Trump’s wealth has gone from about four billion dollars in January to over seven billion in October. In nine months, he’s added three billion dollars to his name. And that money didn’t come from selling sneakers or campaign hats. It came from crypto schemes, favors, and straight up bribery. He’s been taking money from people who want access to power and paying them back with influence.
One of those people is Justin Sun, a Chinese-born crypto billionaire who was banned from the United States after defrauding Americans. The SEC said if he ever stepped foot in the country, he’d be arrested. Trump dropped that case after Sun gave him hundreds of millions. Suddenly he’s back in the country. That’s what corruption looks like in real time.
Trump’s latest obsession is a ballroom. He keeps going on about it. He says the White House has wanted one for 150 years. He brags that now he’s finally doing it. While Americans struggle to pay rent, while people lose jobs and watch prices rise, he’s fixated on his ballroom of corruption. The project costs about 250 million dollars. And the people paying for it? No one really knows.
But we do know some names. Paramount was in the middle of a merger, and Trump slowed it down until they paid sixteen million dollars into his so-called presidential library. YouTube paid twenty four and a half million to settle a lawsuit, and twenty two million of that went straight into the ballroom fund. This is how he operates. He creates buckets to funnel money. He builds fake charities, fake libraries, fake projects so companies can pay to make him happy. It’s organized corruption that’s never been seen before in this country.
He’s even bragging about it out loud. He literally said donors were asking him, “Would twenty five million be appropriate?” And he laughed it off saying, “It doesn’t take too many twenty fives to get it done.” It’s not a joke. He’s holding auctions for influence on live TV.
And it’s funny when you think back to the 1990s, when Hillary Clinton got dragged through the mud for making a hundred thousand dollars off cattle futures years before entering office. Now Melania Trump cuts a forty million dollar movie deal with Jeff Bezos and no one says a word.
It doesn’t stop there. Trump is building a four hundred million dollar private jet that will sit at his presidential library after he leaves office. He’s building a five and a half billion dollar golf course in Qatar. The same Qatar that just started doing joint training with US troops. You can see the pattern. Foreign governments and corporations pay, Trump gives them what they want, and he keeps the change.
Demolition on the East Wing began Monday. Bulldozers are literally tearing down the White House to make room for this ballroom. It’s a perfect symbol of everything Trump stands for. He is destroying history to make space for himself.
Most Americans have tuned it out. They think he’s rigging the system for them because the system already feels rigged against them. But he’s not. He’s rigging it even further. He’s doing it for himself and for the wealthy people who bankroll him.
That’s what’s happening right now at the White House. A quarter-billion-dollar ballroom, paid for through pressure and payoffs, built on top of a democracy that’s being stripped for parts.
I love you all. Consider becoming a paid subscriber to make my work possible. We need to keep telling the truth.
I've been on this route 70 years and I don't ever remember any president saying we need some tacky ass ballroom... If you look at what he's doing he's trying to turn the White House into his own personal entertainment venue... The last I heard he had booked in a UFC fight at the Rose garden.. I'm disgusted to say the very least by this man's behavior and the fact that nobody in Congress seems willing to stop him
Wasting money on a ballroom he'll barely live long enough to enjoy and will be a stain on the White House from its most corrupt and incompetent president. Hopefully it gets torn down and measures are taken to liquidate the Trump estate to reimburse Americans and undo the damage caused by him.
