Fraud season is here

Trump has not suddenly turned the US into a plutocracy.

What he has done, and we should be grateful to him for doing it, is strip away the thin and false democratic veneer to reveal to everyone how the country is actually run by a small group of wealthy elites.

There is nothing new about the workings of power in the US today.

It's just that Trump doesn't make any effort to conceal the corruption, protection rackets, privileges and the illusion that the two party system provides voters with meaningful political choices.

In fact he genuinely believes that the presidency constitutes a personal right to enrich himself and his family, both during his time in office as the ultimate insider trader, and afterwards.

It is possibly the only thing he is more honest about than his predecessors.

President Trump’s Q1 2026 ethics disclosures (released ~May 14-15) show thousands of stock transactions totaling $220M–$750M, heavily in tech names like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, etc.

Outlets like CNBC, WSJ, FT, NBC, Reuters, and WaPo covered it promptly.

Searches of the listed outlets (CBS, CNN, Fox News, NPR, PBS, Politico, Semafor, Business Insider) turn up no dedicated stories on these specific presidential disclosures.

Some have tangential market coverage, but nothing on Trump’s filings themselves.
 
Okay. What law do you think Trump has broken? Be specific. No AI slop, Zombie.


Donald Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a scheme to conceal damaging information during the 2016 presidential election.

Falsifying business records is primarily governed by New York Penal Law § 175.10 and § 175.05.

The first degree offense involves making false entries or altering records with the intent to defraud, while the second degree offense includes similar actions but is classified as a misdemeanor.

This conviction made him the first U.S. president to be criminally convicted.
