🏳️🌈🖖🏽The grift keeps getting bigger. Tariffs were a way for Trump to extort our trading partners to line his cronies’ pockets.

A three-year-old company operating out of a WeWork with reportedly fewer than five employees is being considered for up to $25 BILLION in nuclear energy funds from a trade deal Trump brokered with Japan. The company has never built a nuclear plant or completed a nuclear project of any kind. What does this company bring to the table? The father of its CEO donated $2 million+ to Trump and the GOP, and one of its advisors is a former RNC co-chair and Trump appointee. In this Administration, that’s apparently all you need.
Nick Perks@georgetakei Sounds like the PPE 'VIP lane' we had during covid, where political connections came before any expertise or track record. Though of course being the US you do it all on a bigger scale...
GutterPoetryExactly what I thought. The eventual outcome will probably be the same. Hopefully they don't get so far as to endanger people... Kinda weird to be hoping they only steal the money and run, but could be much worse!
Rabon 🦣@georgetakei Trump must be stripped of all his money, all his properties, down to his fat bare ass and paraded through the streets of D.C. with a transgender, black woman ringing a bell and shouting Shame! Shame!
ewhac@Rabon @georgetakei Bonus points for doing it down NYC's Fifth Avenue, with spectators shooting spitwads at him.
Nomdeb@Rabon @georgetakei and all his cronies. Every corrupt cent they received must be clawed back plus interest and penalties. Especially Kushner.
QuasitAdd EVERY Congressman and Senator FROM BOTH PARTIES. It took both parties in service to the oligarchs to bring us to this state.
Throw in the whole executive branch and the SCOTUS, to boot. Along with every billionaire and multimillionaire.
It's the only way to be sure.
Jennifer Kayla | Theogrin 🦊That would subject a lot of folks to the sight of his everything, though, folks who hadn't signed up for something which would require them to scrub their eyeballs and brains with steel wool.
Strip him of everything, absolutely, but at least let the world be spared of that through proper use of a potato sack.

The mental picture scares me. Not the black woman with the ball. Just seeing Trump naked is frightening.

Peet Tetteroo@georgetakei I am not surprised at this level of corruption.. new York real estate business is like that...
@Pettet8 He learned from the "best."
James Wells@georgetakei
During the first Chump regime, Puerto Rico was badly damaged by a hurricane. The Chump regime hired a 3 man team, who had almost no history with electricity let alone powrr grids, from Montana to rebuild PR's power grid... IIRC, that 3 man team donated large amounts of money to the Orange Shitgibbon's first campaign.

Luna chan@georgetakei They're making nuclear energy scams now?
saxnot@georgetakei don't feed into the narrative:
> Tariffs were a way for Trump to extort our trading partners
tariffs are import tax
US citizens and companys are paying it.
zero of it is paid for by the trading partner.
Despite this fact so obvious a lot of people incl. the large media outlets are reporting it similar to your toot: repeating the narrative of trump
Agitatra 🚲🐻🌿🇪🇺🇺🇦@saxnot @georgetakei Unfortunately, this is only formally true. Many companies here in Europe, who had good and long lasting business with the US were forced to lower their prices, since their trading partners were unable to finance the full amount of the tariffs. So in reality also trading partners abroad paid a part.
Ollie 🇪🇺🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦@saxnot @georgetakei And even tariffs one way hurt bilateral trade.
So yeah, everyone is paying for Trump's corrupt tariffs, directly or indirectly.
