Trump’s Second Term: A Deep Dive into the First Family’s Self-Dealing and Corruption Scandals

Trump’s corruption is so extensive and relentless that it’s difficult for most people to track the sheer volume of ways he and his family profit from the presidency daily. Isaac Saul of Tangle News has compiled the most thorough accounting yet of the First Family’s self-dealing during Trump’s second term.

Two glaring examples stand out:

• Business with a criminal syndicate: Trump’s sons are engaged in business dealings with a criminal organization that stole billions from Americans.
• Unfulfilled cellphone scheme: In 2023, Trump trademarked a cellphone, secured FCC certification, and sold devices to consumers for $100—yet never delivered the products.

The report also highlights critical gaps in accountability:

• The Democratic Party has not done enough to expose Trump’s corruption.
• Jared Kushner, whose family has received billions from Saudi Arabia, must testify before Congress.
• The media’s role in breaking algorithmic silos is more vital than ever.
• Ongoing risks of escalation in the Iran conflict are being overlooked.
