You don’t need to conduct a thorough investigation to find corruption in the Trump Administration. They are overtly corrupt — they’re doing it right in front of us. President Trump admitted that he and his “billionaire buddies” engaged in a little insider trading just before the tariff pause was announced.

Evidence of Corruption in the Trump Administration

The chart in the X post below shows a huge spike in stock buying activity immediately before Trump announced the 90-day hold on the astronomical tariffs he put on every country.

Before that, the markets were down (the dip), so stock prices were low. Anyone who bought stock during the dip, made a ton of money after Trump’s tariff pause announcement caused the markets to soar.

Some have questioned Marjorie Taylor Greene’s stock purchases ahead of the pause on tariffs, but unlike the others, she made the purchases about a week before the announcement—an indication that she may have just been “buying the dip.

From reporting by The Guardian;

Shortly after US markets opened on Wednesday morning, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT”.

Less than four hours later, he shocked investors by announcing a 90-day pause on additional trade tariffs on most countries except China, sending share indexes soaring .

Democrats grilled officials on insider trading and questioned whether an end goal or plan for all of the tariffs exists.

What Conservative Hosts are Saying

I listen to conservative radio when I’m driving to see how they spin the barrage of negative headlines about Donald Trump. Today I felt like I was living in a different world as I listened to the male host who took Dan Bongino’s 12:00 spot speaking with is co-host.

They were talking about how “stupid and corrupt” Joe Biden was. One of them even used the phrase “Biden crime family.” They were discussing the tariff situation when one of the commentators praised the transparency of the current Trump Administration compared to the “massive corruption” that the Biden Administration engaged in.

I was in shock. Do they really not see what’s going on in the White House? Or are they purposefully lying to their listeners, gaslighting them?

They were also discussing the Democrats who are on CNN and Fox News show panels.

Everything negative they said about Democrats was untrue and obvious projection. At one point they talked about what Democrats say and how they should ‘stop spewing talking points.’ The example clips they played featured Democrats stating facts. To them, facts are lies. It was such an upside-down conversation that I had to turn it off.

Brainwashed

On one hand, MAGA and Republican voters are annoying and utterly frustrating. On the other hand, they are so mixed up about what is real in part because of “news” outlets like Fox and Newsmax that exist to regurgitate propaganda for Republicans. Their “facts” are lies and to them, our facts (actual facts) are lies. They are living in an alternate reality constructed entirely by these bad actors (including Trump and the “Big Lie”).

The corruption in the Trump Administration is only getting worse as they become more brazen. Chris Murphy recently called out Trump’s meme coin scam, pointing out how it allows foreign oligarchs or leaders to give Trump money directly.

I have absolutely no doubt that Donald Trump would sell out this country in a heartbeat for the right price. That was my main concern when he was hoarding all of those classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and refused to return them. (I still say someone should check that coffin he buried on one of his golf courses).

He could be heard on an audio recording showing someone war plans for an attack on Iran. Who knows what information he had that would benefit Hungary, Belarus, or Russia—countries with leaders Trump admires.

Corruption in the Trump Administration is just business as usual. In the meantime, we are living among people who are stuck in an alternate reality. They will say Biden weaponized the DOJ right after Trump signed executive orders instructing the DOJ to charge people who told the truth in his first term with treason.
