How Crypto Is Used for Political Corruption
World Liberty Financial AKA Pay Your Trump Bribes Here
#Applebaum: Let me shift now to the current administration. Maybe we could start with World Liberty Financial. Can you explain what it is and how it works and how it could be used, in effect, to bribe the president?
White: So World Liberty Financial is a #cryptocurrency platform that was created by Trump, some of his sons, and a handful of external partners in August 2024.
Applebaum: And one of those external partners is Zach #Witkoff who is the son of Trump’s Middle East and Russia envoy, Steve Witkoff

The last paragraph in this article by Anne Applebaum:
'So much has been carelessly thrown away by this president; so much has been thoughtlessly abandoned; so many hard-won friendships and alliances have been forgotten by Trump, and by his enablers in the Senate, the Cabinet, and the far-right press. They don’t understand democracy’s true value—and they never will.'

The recent publication of the #Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy showed that unilateral #disarmament is now official policy. Because this National Security Strategy is not really a strategy document. It is a #suicide note - #Applebaum

In #Ukraine, the state itself is investigating the government, the cabinet, even the president’s closest advisers. By contrast, it is impossible to imagine Kash #Patel’s #FBI investigating anyone in #Trump’s White House — Anne #Applebaum

"It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future."
