while he cuts health care for 15 million Americans.This is insane. The working families of the United States need help, not one of the richest families in the world.

(18,909 posts)(CNBC) "A government official and top royal from the United Arab Emirates purchased a $500 million stake in the Trump familys cryptocurrency venture last year, months before the Trump administration greenlit the sale of advanced AI chips to the UAE, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday."
"Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan also known as the spy sheikh is the Gulf nations national security adviser and manager of its largest wealth fund. Aryam Investment, a Tahnoon-backed company, took a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial, according to the Journal. The deal would make Aryam the largest shareholder of World Liberty, and the companys only known investor besides the founders, the Journal reported."
"World Liberty is behind the stablecoin USD1, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by short-term U.S. government treasuries, U.S. dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents."
"The company counts President Donald Trump and his special envoy Steve Witkoff as co-founders emeritus, and is run by members of the Trump and Witkoff families."

It's no secret, Trump gets away with this sort of corruption because he always does it right out in the open, for all to see.

have the fascist government of all their wet dreams, money suddenly grows on fucking trees, and theres nothing too crazy for them to spend it onincluding bailing out their fascist friends in other countries just for the hell of it.
Under Republicans, the Pentagon alone is now spending more than every other countrys defense budget combined, to say nothing of other obscenities like the BBB that transformed ICE overnight, the so-called "Golden Dome", the trillion-dollar AI investments, and all the idiotic vanity projects like the ballroom/dictator bunker and the Arc de Trump."
No Democrat could get away with this kind of spending even if they tried, yet somehow, these fascists are getting a pass. Its obscene and beyond hypocritical, given what Republicans claimed to stand for prior to 2025.
Yes, I know full well it was always BS. The American public, however, largely have failed to figure it out. Its maddening.
