37. Small city newspapers are doing a better job reporting Trump's corruption than major news outlets.

Like this AP story published in the Chattanooga Times Free Press, detailing Trump's incredible corruption:

'Trump filing shows he took in about $1.2 billion from crypto businesses last year'

Excerpt: "The 927-page disclosure form paints a stark, if incomplete picture of the massive growth of the president's wealth since taking office last January through a web of business interests — many of which have benefited from the policy moves of Trump's own government. Trump has insisted that his sons direct his finances but the arrangement rejects the conflict of interest protections that his recent predecessors in office had instituted."

"Forbes estimates Trump's net worth at $6 billion, up from $2.3 billion in 2024."
