MugsysRapSheet 🔩🐑🐘$1.7 MILLION PER PLATE to attend the #GrifterInChief's #MemeCoin dinner is 500 TIMES the legal political donation limit. #MostCorruptPotusInHistory #DisasterPresidency #Emoluments #TheGriftGoesOn
Nonilex#Trump, the first #convicted #felon elected president, has erased #ethical boundaries & dismantled the instruments of accountability that constrained his predecessors. There will be no official investigations because Trump has made sure of it. He has fired government inspectors general & #ethics watchdogs, installed partisan loyalists to run the DOJ, FBI & regulatory agencies & dominated a Republican-controlled Congress unwilling to hold hearings.
Yet a mark of how much #Trump has transformed Washington since his return to power is the normalization of moneymaking schemes that once would have generated endless political blowback, televised hearings, official investigations & damage control. The death of outrage in the Trump era, or at least the dearth of outrage, exemplifies how far the president has moved the lines of accepted behavior in Washington.
By conventional Washington standards, acc/to students of official #graft, the still-young #Trump admin is a candidate for the most brazen use of government office in American history, perhaps eclipsing even Teapot Dome, Watergate & other famous scandals.
“I’ve been watching & writing about #corruption for 50 years, & my head is still spinning,” said Michael Johnston, a professor emeritus at Colgate University & author of multiple books on corruption in the United States.
And #Trump hosted an exclusive dinner at his Virginia club for 220 investors in the $TRUMP #cryptocurrency that he started days before taking office in January. Access was openly #sold based on how much #money they chipped in — not to a campaign account but to a business that benefits Trump personally. [He also gave the top investors a White House tour on Friday]
Just last week, #Qatar handed over a luxury #jet meant for #Trump’s use not just in his official capacity but also for his [nonexistent]*presidential library* after he leaves office. Experts have valued plane, formally donated to the *Air Force*, at $200M, more than all of the foreign gifts bestowed on all previous American presidents combined.
31 years later, after dinner at Mar-a-Lago, #JeffBezos agreed to finance a promotional film about #MelaniaTrump that will reportedly put $28M directly in her pocket—280 times the Clinton lucre & in this case from a person with a vested interest in #policies set by her husband’s govt. Scandal? Furor? Washington moved on while barely taking notice.
When Hillary Clinton was first lady, a furor erupted over reports that she had once made $100k from a $1k investment in cattle futures. Even though it had happened a dozen years before her husband became president, it became a scandal that lasted weeks & forced the White House to initiate a review.

The former NBA star #LamarOdom — now promoting his own #memecoin, $ODOM — posted on social media that he would be attending the event, & appeared in guests’ photos from inside #Trump’s club.
The dinner list also included #NicholasPinto, a 25-year-old entrepreneur from Cranford, NJ, who first became rich by selling scooter wheels when he was 13 & has since branched out to build a sprawling moneymaking social media presence & invest in #crypto.
