WTF

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. It is not close. For nearly 50 years, every president separated their personal finances from the office.

Jimmy Carter put his family peanut business in a trust so no one could claim he profited from his decisions.

Ronald Reagan liquidated his investments in 1981 and handed them to an independent trustee with no contact and no control.

George H.W. Bush did it.

Bill Clinton did it.

George W. Bush did it.

Barack Obama kept his money in Treasury bonds and owned no stock as president.

Joe Biden held no individual stocks either.

None were required to by law. They did it because they understood public office is a public trust, not a personal trading desk.

Trump is shredding that tradition. No divestment or blind trust. His sons run a global business empire that cuts deals with foreign governments. His son-in-law manages billions for Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE while serving as Trump’s “volunteer” envoy on the war in Iran. He launched a personal cryptocurrency that foreign buyers used to funnel money straight to his family.

And now we learn his account made 3,700 trades in a single quarter, more than 40 a day, in companies like Nvidia, Oracle, Microsoft, and Boeing. Every one with billions riding on decisions his administration makes.

We must put a stop to this.

Ban stock trading for the President, Vice President, Cabinet, and every member of Congress.

No loopholes.

Ugh

The Supreme Court is supposed to be the final firewall against the erosion of our constitutional rights, but the ground is shifting beneath our feet. Election law expert Rick Hasen—a scholar who has spent decades studying how to keep our democracy functional—is sounding the alarm because he sees something fundamentally broken in the Chief Justice’s recent behavior. This is not about one or two controversial rulings. It is about a structural, and perhaps permanent, departure from judicial precedent that serves to weaken the very mechanisms that ensure our elections remain free and fair.

When the highest court in the land stops operating as a neutral arbiter and starts showing a clear bias toward authoritarian interests, the damage to our Republic is not theoretical; it is happening in real time. History teaches us that the transition from a democracy to something much darker rarely happens through a single dramatic event. It happens incrementally, with people like John Roberts providing the legal veneer to dismantle our safeguards one piece at a time. We are watching the machinery of our government be repurposed against the people. Pay attention. Democracy dies in the dark, and right now, the lights are being turned off one by one.
