During the Biden administration, the Republicans repeatedly attacked Hunter Biden’s business dealings. They never were able to provide any connection between Hunter’s businesses and President Joe Biden. Those same Republicans are silent about the corruption of Donald Trump and his family of grifters.
Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in U.S. history. The Grant, Harding and Nixon administrations were all marked by rampant corruption. However, those presidents didn’t exploit the power of their office to make themselves, their families and their cronies wealthier.
The Trump I administration was the second most corrupt administration in history. Between 2017–21, Trump profited off special interests and foreign governments holding events at his hotel in Washington. In addition, Trump’s hotels charged his Secret Service protectors exorbitant rates. Trump also made money off his supporters by holding political events at his hotels and golf courses. However, the extent of the corruption in Trump was pretty modest compared to what has occurred since January 20.
Reuters has also exposed the staggering level of corruption by Trump and his family since he took office. What follow are excerpts from an investigatory piece dated October 28, 2025:
“The Trump brothers’ efforts have been a whopping success. In the first half of this year, the Trump Organization’s income soared 17-fold to $864 million from $51 million a year earlier, according to Reuters calculations based on the president’s official disclosures, property records, financial records released in court cases, crypto trade information and other sources. Of the first-half total, $802 million — more than 90% — came from Trump crypto ventures, including sales of World Liberty tokens.
That $864 million payday represents actual income — cash flowing, free and clear, into Trump family coffers. Reuters’ calculations were reviewed by half a dozen crypto and real estate experts and a certified accountant who has studied the U.S. Internal Revenue Service’s approach to crypto.
The Trumps’ first-half crypto income dwarfed what the family earned from its traditional businesses — $33 million from the president’s golf clubs and resorts and $23 million for licensing his name to overseas real estate developers, according to the Reuters estimates. More than half the Trumps’ income — $463 million — came from sales of World Liberty tokens alone, including up to $75 million from Aqua1’s token purchase. On its website, World Liberty says a Trump Organization entity receives 75% of the revenue from the token sales through its association with World Liberty.
The family also made $336 million from sales of a Trump meme coin, $TRUMP, Reuters calculated, using assumptions vetted by five analysts.
The identities of most buyers of the WLFI tokens are hidden behind opaque “wallet” addresses — the unique identifiers investors use as keys to access and manage their holdings. Among the few major buyers whose identities are known — a mix of foreign and U.S. investors — most have histories of legal and regulatory entanglements related to their business endeavors. And as the Trump brothers’ travels over the past year show, foreign investors have been a major target for token sales.
The alignment of the Trump family’s crypto initiatives with President Trump’s public role as overseer of U.S. crypto policy constitutes a conflict of interest unprecedented in modern presidential history, government ethics experts said.”
Reuters found that 72 percent of the purchasers of Trump crypto assets were most likely foreigners. What’s more, we don’t know who is investing in Trump’s crypto scheme — it’s a secret. It could be America’s enemies.
Donald Trump’s net worth has increased by approximately $3 billion since taking office, reaching an estimated $7.3 billion as of September 2025, according to Forbes. This increase is primarily due to business moves made during his presidency, including the surge in value of his cryptocurrency ventures and the revival of his real estate licensing business with new international deals.
Senator Cory Booker called out Trump for increasing his net worth by billions while Americans struggle to pay their bills in his economy: “Trump’s administration is marked by chaos, corruption, and cruelty.”
Dems should talk about the Trump crypto scam more. It may end up as the biggest scandal of the administration. And I was surprised to see how much people didn’t like it in the October 27, 2025 Deciding To Win poll. Trump approval on his crypto scam is a staggering minus 43 percentage points!
Trump has done nothing to keep his promise of delivering rapid and fast price cuts beginning on day one. Trump and his family are investing a significant amount of time exploiting his presidency to makes themselves all richer. Trump’s second term corruption far exceeds his self dealing during his first term. The American people didn’t elect Trump and his family to line their own pockets while they raise prices and tank the economy.
We have a big opportunity in the 2026 elections. Trump and the Republican Party are sinking like a stone in the polls since they are wrecking the country. Numerous good candidates are already running for office across Nebraska and the country since there is a huge backlash to the MAGA agenda. History shows that the party holding the White House gets blown out in the mid-term elections.
Let us forever be remembered as the generation that saved America from fascism.
Throw the bums out! Blue wave 2026!
