It's so obvious, no one can miss it.
"Last week, Trump’s social media corporation — Trump Media and Technology Group, in which Trump personally owns a majority of shares — announced plans to sell financial products, including a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), aimed at what Trump calls the “patriotic economy.” Its shares jumped 6 percent on the news." Yeah, that company he was supposed to have divested from...
....
"Two weeks ago, Kash Patel, Trump’s nominee to direct the FBI, was given 25,946 shares in Trump Media, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. They are now worth about $840,000. What was this a payoff for?" Prepaid corruption?
....
"Musk, Zuckerberg, and Andreessen — all Trump backers and lapdogs — had claimed that the CFPB was trying to “debank” or remove them and other Trumpers from the banking system. In fact, the CFPB proposed the first-ever rule to block debanking.
Andreessen is invested in companies like Synapse, which have cost many people’s life savings. Some firms in his portfolio were shut down by the CFPB for scamming people. Zuckerberg says Meta is not a bank, although it has a payments business and Zuck wants to start a currency." So, Trump shuts down the CFPB, benefiting...? Oh, yeah, his biggest donors and himself.
....
And if that weren't enough,
"Trump’s financial products also invite people and corporations seeking to curry favor with him to invest in his products. Outright bribery."
Of course, eliminating every watchdog possible just ensures there is no one to catch them in the act. It's so obvious, it's insulting.
