More Trump wins from the failing NYT morning email:



= Employers in the U.S. added 165,000 jobs in October… = 

A) Old enough to remember when 165,000 would be considered a disappointment under a Democratic administration. 
B) We all know this number will be revised downward in a few months.
C) Does this include all the new Democrat election winners?

Key examples of alleged and documented corruption during the Donald Trump administration include:

• Foreign Gifts and Emoluments: The administration faced accusations of violating the Constitution's Emoluments Clause after receiving a luxury jet valued at hundreds of millions of dollars from the Qatari government.

• "Pay-to-Play" Foreign and Crypto Deals: An investment firm linked to the United Arab Emirates deposited $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company founded by the Trump family, shortly before the administration granted the UAE access to advanced, scarce artificial intelligence computer chips.

• Controversial Pardons and Clemency: Critics have highlighted pardons granted to wealthy figures and political donors—such as Trevor Milton (who receivedJustice documented the President trading and profiting from stocks in major corporations—such as Boeing, Palantir, and Oracle—while concurrently handling federal contracts, trade decisions, or regulatory approvals involving those companies.

• Truth Social Subscriptions: The administration faced "pay-to-play" criticism for rolling out a Truth Social API subscription tier charging up to $100,000 a month to give Wall Street firms and paying users priority, real-time access to official government and market-moving announcements.

• Family Business and Military Contractor Ties: Donald Trump Jr. and other family members faced scrutiny for business ventures, venture capital investments (such as 1789 Capital and Vulcan Elements), and military contractor or drone company stakes that overlapped with federal funding discussions or Pentagon loans.

A compiled overview of these transactions and actions is tracked by the Campaign Legal Center, while broader historical and ongoing allegations are archived via  Wikipedia

I remember when Trump turned the White House lawn into a Tesla showroom and specifically praised the CyberEdsel.   

"As soon as I saw it I said 'That is the coolest design,'"  Trump said.
