Description

Trump's corruption is so astonishing, extensive, and overwhelming that most people can't keep up with all the ways he's profiting off his presidency every single day. Isaac examined the reporting on the First Family's self-dealing in Trump's second term, and he's compiled the most exhaustive accounting of it so far. Just two examples: Trump's sons are doing business with a criminal syndicate that stole billions from Americans; and Trump last year branded a cellphone, had it certified by the FCC, and never delivered them to buyers who paid $100 for the device. The Dems are not doing nearly enough to highlight Trump's corruption. Plus, Saudi-paid Jared really needs to testify before Congress, the value of a news source that breaks our algorithmic siloes, and the risk of the Iran war just fading into the background. Tangle News' Issac Saul joins Tim Miller.

If Kushner is involved, then there's a grift involved.

To extend that rain metaphor, MAGA thinks it's raining outside, but it's really Trump peeing on their legs.

When he says he can relate to people who still think Trump was the better option, I just don't see how I relate to this dude. But I'm glad you had them on. I'm just not sure I can make it through it.

I'm so disgusted by our government. Screw the GOP for allowing this to continue.

War crimes; market manipulation; insider trading should see them locked up and seize their assets.

Of course they're in trouble. Why do you think they're so intent to f*** with our elections?

Corruption is what finally brought Orban down. The Democrats need to nonstop shine a light on it!
