It's a violation of the US Constitution's emolument clause and an impeachable offense. If Biden, Harris or Obama had done this, they would have been impeached.

If any former Democrat president, senator or congressman had done any ONE of the many things this sick group of lying slugs has done their hair would be on fire calling for their heads. They are the biggest group of hypocrites the world has ever seen.
They would have absolutely blown their tops. Republicans these days have _no_ ethical standards, since every thing they complain about with any merit a democrat does they ignore the far worse republican case.
"Ethics" to them is just a tool to push Project 2025.
It’s not just that Rs and Ds have different opinions. They are different personality types and they react to different things. It’s why a left talk radio never really took off. It’s why the military votes mostly R. And liberal arts professors vote D. John Dean explained it years ago in his book.
Beyond accepting what is clearly an emolument, it's the "plans to use it after he leaves office," that's even more troubling. How can he keep a plane if it's theoretically been retrofitted with top secret military aircraft countermeasures?
I honestly think that the next Democratic president should have a list of all of these things, and then start doing them one at a time. And she or he could just say, 'well Donald did this and no one cared, now so am I.'
Add in the cryptocurrency corruption on the part of the Trump Organization and the grifting is in plain sight. The DOJ needs to be moved out of the Executive branch. There's not a hint of enforcement now.
The grifter runs this country like he’s the dictator of a banana republic. Not enough gilded ornaments in Air Force 1? He embarrasses this country every day.
So many of us appear to be hung up on this "hypocrisy is bad" thing. MAGA doesn't care about hypocrisy, like they literally don't care about morality or family values or liberty or rights. They only care about winning and beating down the opposition. That is literally all that matters to them.
Agree. While hypocrisy IS an issue, it isn’t the central one. Many of Trump’s supporters (not the super-wealthy among them, of course) will feel the hurt and harm from this hypocrisy soon enough. I don’t say that gleefully either. It is going to hurt a ton of us and not just here in the US.
Has anyone worked out whether or not this “gift” might not have some national security issues? If so, who’s inspecting it before acceptance? Is that person truly qualified? Will more than one person conduct that inspection and sign off on it? There is more than cost & corruption factor here.
I’d like to see the proof. I can’t find anything reputable on this. If they did this, which it appears they didn’t, they should be prosecuted along with Trump. Anti Trumpsters are not cultists like you Trumpers. Everyone must follow the law, especially our leaders.
The point is it wasn’t Democrat presidents that did this, but Trump DID, and the fascist right accepts it. If it was a democrat they’d be up in arms like they were for the tan suit and falling off a bike.
I’d like to know more- the only info I can find on Obama’s bitcoin account is about a hack on accounts belonging to Obama, Biden, Warren Buffet, Elon Must and Bill Gates in 2030. Hacker was arrested.
Please provide your source on the anonymous investment in Obama’s bitcoin acct you reference.
That was clear in the first post, “Imagine” being the clarifier. The posted response didn’t give me a clue that the writer was adding more imaginary scenarios. Thanks for the assist.
They’re making a rhetorical point. Obama never accepted money to his bitcoin but Republicans and the media would be furious if he had and it would be a scandal. But Trump is allowed to do it with barely any commentary
Well, if it is a rhetorical point, that was not clear to me. Yes, if those were true, everyone from the press to Congress to the beauty shop should have lost their shit!
I could have been clearer. Apologies. Just trying to add on to the original post showing the absurdity of Trump’s grifting vs any previous or would-be Democratic president.
Got it! I agree! And the media mega corporations just cozy up and treat everything he does as normal when, in fact, he’s lost most of his marbles! Full on dementia!
Yes I see how it could read like a “blah blah everyone has done this” post, but they only meant to add to the chorus of rhetoricals. And I agree everyone absolutely would have lost their shit!!
Completely believable that Trump is doing it. Obama, Biden and Harris would ever sell out the U.S. no other president- right, left or middle would do this.

A few hours later I swoop in and correct the headline to Trump or whoever it was really about and watch the commenters backtrack and sweat.
(Yes. They collected millions from that grift.)
Thank you for continually calling out what this Administration actually is
A Clown 🤡 Show of convicted criminals, grifters, liars, rapists, pedos & seditious conspirators
Beyond embarrassing & Dangerous to our economy/healthcare/safety & standing in the 🌎
I seem to remember reading something about that.
Maybe.
It could be.
But the headline is still terrible. Why does the President need to accept a gift of this magnitude?
Accepting the "gift" is wrong on so many levels.

Obscene is using “Trump” and “poised” in the same headline.
oh hey @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social anything here? bueller? hello?

President Obama received an anonymous $2 billion investment in his private bitcoin account. Looks to be from the Middle East.
President Biden accepted an anonymous $2 billion investment to his private bitcoin account. Looks to be from the Middle East.
President Harris accepted an anonymous…

The right answer is “this is impeachable and we will follow the law, if the GOP doesn’t want to, that is on them.”
Thanks!!!
