That would be difficult, but his recent inane, logic-chopping posts show clearly ChicKenShit is making a run at it.
And since ChicKie is frantically recycling memes, here's Denny again, describing ChicKie to a T.
In 1875 under Grant we had The Whiskey Ring and in the '20s under Harding it was Teapot Dome. But in neither case was the President himself the direct beneficiary of the corruption.
But now we have a President who is not only a convicted felon but also is benefitting to the tune of billions of dollars from selling his influence.
On top of that, Trump invited dozens of crypto investors to a dinner at the White House. And, to top it all off, he has had the "Justice" Dept. disband its unit investigating crypto fraud.
Yes, he is...
No evidence of fraud, but “Orange Man Bad” says one quoted expert:
I said CORRUPT. Fraud is only ONE way to be corrupt. In this case, corrupt is using the power of the Presidency for personal enrichment.
So stop deflecting and setting up a Straw Man defense and show us how using your office to enrich yourself isn't corrupt?
ChicKenShit is once again demonstrating why he is our leading Partisan Hack.
He obviously doesn’t understand how bitcoin works, so he’s mad about it. Again.
Bottom line, the article is loaded with speculation and what if’s, short on any actionable corrupt acts.
Where does ChicKie get the idea I'm "mad?"
Probably the same place he gets his demented ideas and ageist gifs.
Not to mention he's got no clue about corruption vs. fraud.
What a hack.
He rages on. “I was talking about corruption!”.
The article presented no evidence of corruption. Just references to other articles and “experts” about what Trump “might” do, or what Trump “could” do. It’s just more TDS inspired bullshit from Nicky.
Along with his abject political hackery. Oh, and his ageism.
ChicKenShit is really shameless.
It's about what Trump DID do. The entire scheme is NOT hypothetical. He actually is doing it.
And ChicKenShit simply doesn't care.
Hack is too good a word for him. Just ask Denny.
The angry old man got one thing “right”. He was talking about corruption, not fraud.
That would be difficult, but his recent inane, logic-chopping posts show clearly ChicKenShit is making a run at it.
And since ChicKie is frantically recycling memes, here's Denny again, describing ChicKie to a T.
The old man can’t cite one allegation, let alone fact, in that article that Trump has taken any illegal donations or engaged in any corrupt behavior since being elected. He can’t cite anything so he reverts to “I’m always right and the rest of you are stupid, hacks, or both” line of argument.
What a peculiar way for Nicky to spend his twilight years. Angry, bitter and yelling at his computer screen! LOL
Don't worry - we know the filthy maga traitor cunts are fully complicit in the convicted felon criminal traitor's corruption - so you'll deny any wrong doing by the world's most corrupt treasonous traitor.
AND following the ULTIMATE BITCH SLAP - you'll likely not even 'see' this post because you're a cowardly little filthy maga cunt. Too scared to face the TRUTH and FACTS that you filthy cunts get BITCH SLAPPED with daily.
The most corrupt president of all time is back in office with a slew of new conflicts of interest. Donald Trump spent the last four years growing his business empire, adding a publicly traded social media company, cryptocurrency venture and new international developments to his already vast portfolio. Instead of assuring Americans that he will put the national interest over his bottom line, Trump’s company released a woefully inadequate ethics pledge that not only falls short of divestment, but greatly expands the potential for corruption from Trump’s first term by allowing it to strike deals with private foreign companies.
But we’ve seen this before. Trump’s first term in office carries with it a lasting legacy of unprecedented corruption that began with his decision not to divest from the Trump Organization, opening the door for corporate lobbyists, foreign officials, special interests and anyone else seeking political clout to gain access to his administration. CREW spent the Trump presidency rigorously tracking these conflicts of interest, culminating in a catalogue of almost 4,000 conflicts between Trump’s business interests and his presidency.
This time around the conflicts are also more expansive. With the addition of several new business interests, Trump has created even more opportunities for those looking to curry favor with him to line his pockets. As Trump settles into the Oval Office for the second time, CREW is tracking these conflicts.
During Trump’s first term, CREW tracked visits to Trump properties by federal, state, and foreign government officials, and Trump himself; lavish events held at Trump properties by political groups, special interests, and foreign government-connected bodies; countless times Trump administration officials promoted Trump properties while speaking in their official capacity; valuable foreign government trademarks granted to Trump businesses; and a slew of other miscellaneous interactions between the Trump Organization and the Trump presidency.
While we will never know exactly how much Trump’s corruption paid off, we know it was a lot. According to personal financial disclosures released after he left office, Trump made more than $1.6 billion from the Trump Organization and other outside income during his four years as president, including millions in taxpayer money from government agencies like the Secret Service that he forced to pay his properties. This income amounted to far more than what Trump would have earned if he only made the presidential salary that he made a big show of donating last time he was in office.
CREW has chronicled the different ways that Trump profited during his presidency. Special interest groups held 137 events at Trump properties, likely paying him more than $13 million. An analysis of his tax returns shows that he made up to $160 million from international business dealings. Building on a report published by the House Oversight Committee Democrats, CREW showed that foreign governments likely paid him $13.6 million while he was in the White House and raised the possibility of millions more in potential payments.
Trump is creating even more opportunities for people to pay him in his second term as president. In September, Trump and his sons unveiled his cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, just months after he headlined a Bitcoin conference where he promised to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet.” Within the first few days of his presidency, he released an executive order declaring crypto a “national priority” and established a working group to explore the creation of a national cryptocurrency stockpile. Most recently Trump has launched a pair of meme coins that are already valued at billions of dollars.
Trump is also the majority stakeholder of Trump Media & Technology Group, a publicly traded company that owns his social media site, Truth Social. Trump is eligible to sell his shares, opening the door for foreign or domestic interests to put money in his pockets. But even if he decides to hold on to his interest in the company, wealthy investors—foreign and domestic—can buy shares of the faltering company, which some analysts have described as a “meme stock”— because a company that has reported hundreds of millions in net losses over its first few months as a public company, with almost no profits to speak of, should not be such a popular investment.
Additionally, Trump’s relationship with the Saudi government-backed LIV golf is poised to create conflicts. Since its founding in 2021, LIV has held six events at various Trump Golf Clubs, and in April it will have its first event of the Trump presidency at Trump National Doral in Miami. According to Forbes, LIV spent $796,000 on one tournament alone at Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey golf club in 2022.
During Trump’s first term, his downtown Washington, D.C. hotel was the center of the world for his allies and those looking to influence his administration, with CREW tracking over 1,000 visits in four years. Foreign governments and special interest groups held events there—and to other Trump properties—to curry favor with the administration while personally enriching Trump in the process. Trump sold the property in 2022. However, Trump’s property company is reportedly in talks to repurchase the hotel. Whether he buys it or not, Trump properties will continue to attract business from influence seekers, including special interests and foreign governments. There are a handful of foreign governments that rent or own space at Trump properties, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Research by CREW shows that foreign governments are expected to pay a total of nearly $2 million in monthly fees for units in New York’s Trump World Tower.
Trump’s company is also expected to keep pursuing new international deals in his second term. Since 2021, the Trump Organization has signed several new agreements with an international developer for Trump-branded developments in Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. These deals open multiple doors for the Trump Organization to partner with foreign-government-owned partners.
Taken together, these new companies and developments send a clear message that Trump has no interest in mitigating corruption during his second term. In fact, he’s only opened up new, more secretive avenues to accept illegal emoluments and other payments from wealthy interests. Over the next four years, we will be here tracking all of it.
There's literally pages and pages of examples of convicted felon criminal traitor's documented corruption - that filthy maga traitor cunts are enabling and fully complicit in. Filthy little fucking maga traitor cunts.
Trump’s onslaught on checks and balances is ushering in a new age of political corruption, experts warn
n just a few days, Donald Trump appeared to lay waste to decades-long American efforts to crack down on public and private corruption within the U.S. and abroad with a series of actions that experts are calling a clear signal that malfeasance by politicians and corporate actors will be tolerated if not encouraged.
The onslaught began on Monday after California Senator Adam Schiff sent a letter to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Office of Government Ethics director David Huitema inquiring about whether billionaire Trump patron turned “Department of Government Efficiency” boss Elon Musk had complied with the federal conflict-of-interest and financial disclosure reporting requirements to which federal workers are bound.
Schiff noted that Musk’s status as an unpaid Special Government Employee — a part-time designation that nonetheless subjects the SpaceX and Tesla founder to federal ethics laws — grants him “access to sensitive government information” at the same time that Musk “retains significant financial interests in multiple private companies that benefit from federal government contracts.”
“Mr Musk’s activities, access to sensitive federal government information, and potential financial conflicts of interest also raise significant questions about Mr. Musk’s foreign entanglements and the activities and possible conflicts of other individuals associated with the ‘Department of Government Efficiency,’ which will be the focus of forthcoming requests for information and records that are needed for the U.S. Senate to exercise its essential oversight and legislative functions,” Schiff added.

The California Democrat received a rapid response, but not the one he was expecting. Within hours of receiving his letter, White House Personnel Office director Sergio Gor notified Huitema — who was confirmed to a five-year term heading the Office of Government Ethics late last year — that he was being removed from his position.
The rapid defenestration of the executive branch’s top conflict-of-interest watchdog was just an opening salvo in what quickly escalated into a symbolic war on the concept of consequences for corruption.
Within a few hours, news broke that Trump’s former personal lawyer turned acting deputy attorney general had ordered the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York to drop the blockbuster bribery and public corruption case it had filed against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
The memorandum from Justice Department headquarters stated that the decision to seek an indictment against Adams for allegedly taking illegal foreign campaign contributions in exchange for official acts had “unduly restricted Mayor Adams' ability to devote full attention and resources to ... illegal immigration and violent crime.”
The unprecedented move came after months of work by Adams to curry favor from Trump by claiming that his prosecution was a consequence of criticizing the Biden administration’s immigration policies.
And in the Oval Office later on Monday, Trump went even further by making two announcements as he signed related documents while reporters looked on.
He pardoned disgraced ex-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat turned Trump booster who’d been convicted of multiple felonies related to his attempt to sell the Senate seat vacated by former president Barack Obama after winning the 2008 presidential election.
But just before that, he dropped another bombshell by telling the press that he was effectively ordering the Department of Justice to stop enforcing a decades-old law, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits American corporations and individuals from bribing foreign government officials.
Trump complained that the anti-corruption measure, which was signed into law by then-president Jimmy Carter in 1978, was a “disaster for this country” because “it made it very, very hard, from a practical standpoint, to make deals” overseas without violating the law, implying that bribes are expected to be a routine part of business, including for American companies.
“It hurts the country. And many, many deals are unable to be made because of it. Nobody wants to do business because they don’t want to feel like every time they pick up a phone, they’re going to jail,” he said.
The move was immediately condemned by Democrats such as Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin, the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee.
In a statement, Raskin said Trump’s actions amounted to “pulling the plug on prosecutions for bribery and other foreign corrupt practices” and predicted it would have the effect of “making bribery and corruption perfectly legal again.”
Raskin also pointed out that Bondi, a former Florida attorney general who represented Trump during his first impeachment trial in 2020, had recently ordered the disbanding of Department of Justice divisions responsible for prosecuting evasion of U.S. sanctions and a separate division charged with prosecuting unregistered foreign agents operating in the United States.
“Now the Administration is giving corporations free rein to pay bribes, kickbacks, and financial tribute to corrupt foreign officials with the promise that they will not face prosecution,” he said.

For Walter Shaub, a government ethics expert who headed the Office of Government Ethics from 2013 to 2017 and resigned that post because of his concerns over lax ethics enforcement in Trump’s first administration, the recent developments weren’t anything new.
But Shaub told The Independent that the president’s decision to fire Huitema and Special Counsel Walter Dellinger were “cowardly acts” by a man who doesn’t want his underlings to face any form of accountability whatsoever.
“He’s clearly afraid of anyone in government who could prevent wrongdoing by his administration. This is what you would expect from a convicted criminal who was elected president and now wants to commit ethnic cleansing in Gaza so he can build Trump resorts, who doesn’t want to follow court orders, and who is breaking federal laws in his quest to fire federal employees for upholding their oath to support the Constitution,” he said.
As for the decision to scrap enforcement of the FCPA, Shaub was even more damning in his condemnation of the president’s move and motives.
“Telling American companies that he’ll let them commit bribery overseas is part of this whole corrupt package. America knew what Trump was. America voted for corruption. Trump is hellbent on giving them corruption,” he said.
Another former government ethics expert, former U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic Norm Eisen, said in an interview with the Associated Press that Trump’s first few weeks in office represented “the most corrupt start that we’ve ever seen in the history of the American presidency.”
Eisen added that Trump’s pardon of Blagojevich and his order to halt enforcement of the FCPA have “sent an unmistakable message that corruption is welcome in his new administration.”

While Trump claimed that his decision to suspend enforcement of the Carter-era anti-corruption statute would be a boon to American business, experts are sounding the alarm about the difficulties it will bring for U.S. interests.
Transparency International executive director Gary Kalman said the move “diminishes the crown jewel in the U.S.’s fight against global corruption” and “raises the cost of doing business,” citing the example of an American company widely believed to have paid bribes to grease the skids so it could sell junk medical equipment abroad at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
He also pointed out that the FCPA was a “huge leap forward” in anti-corruption efforts worldwide because it allowed American authorities to require “strict accounting requirements and controls for companies in order to prevent cover-ups” and set out a model that other nations have emulated.
But it’s not just Americans who are concerned about the long-tail effects of the effective end of the American prohibition on foreign bribery.
Nick Vamos, a former head of special crime at the U.K. Crown Prosecution Service, told The Independent in a phone interview that Trump’s order was “an incredible U-turn on decades of US policy to encourage the rest of the world to enact similar statutes and clamp down on overseas corruption and level the playing field by getting rid of bribery and corruption.”
He recalled how the American government had “berated” the British government for years until enactment of the 2007 Bribery Act to outlaw foreign bribery by U.K. businesses. He said Trump’s desire seemed to stem from a belief that other actors — including China — were engaging in bribery for access to African and Asian rare earth metals and other resources.
“His level playing field is we should be able to bribe our way into access to these things in the national interest, just like our rivals are. So it's just a remarkable abdication of the moral high ground,” he said.
Vamos also warned that Trump’s decision to order a halt to FCPA enforcement could portend matching pressure campaigns to prevent other countries from enforcing similar statutes against American companies operating overseas and suggested that the long-tail effect of this would be a “race to the bottom” when it comes to standards of conduct by corporations.
Additionally, he said the decision to stop enforcing the decades-old law could be used as an indication that the American criminal justice system is no longer independent of political control.
This could have negative consequences for American law enforcement, he said, because judges in countries that have never objected to extraditing suspected criminals to the U.S. will now have reason to believe arguments that American law enforcement is no longer on the level.
“I used to advise clients in the past that you know, the Russians are after you, or the Azerbaijanis, or maybe the Pakistanis, even the Turks, depending on what they're after you for, you've got a pretty good chance of arguing … improper political motivation. But if it's America, Switzerland, [or] EU partners, Japan, no chance,” he said.
“Now, I think it’s game on when the U.S. is after somebody — I think those arguments have just been given a huge boost.”
Asked about the criticisms of Trump’s order to stand down on enforcing the FCPA, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told The Independent that “interpretation and enforcement overreach” with regard to the decades-old statute had “hurt our Nation’s economy and security.”
“President Trump was given a mandate to put America First, and he is committed to removing barriers that hinder American companies’ ability to compete abroad,” she said.
