Trump is flying around in a jet given to him by Qatar... [View all]

Would it make a difference if it was given to him by Russia or China?

It doesn't seem very patriotic from my viewpoint.

But there are a lot of questions around Trump and his "business" ventures.

Is his memecoin and his cryptocurrency ventures anything other than money laundering schemes? What do you get in return for your "investment"? Where does the money come from? Where does it go? What does it matter so long as it is mixed in with the rest of our economy? That's the whole purpose of "money laundering" - mix all the illegal money in with legitimate money and no one knows the difference.

In my opinion, it is one large criminal network, international in scale. And Donald Trump is only using the White House as a front.

He has been told that he has immunity from any prosecution so he isn't held accountable for anything he does. This is where our system has taken us.
