In @nytopinion.nytimes.com One year ago, President Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he used the presidency to enrich himself, the @nytimes editorial board writes. This is how Trump has pocketed at least $1.4 billion.

A figure which also underlines the deficiencies of democracy: just as Plato said. Too often, the ignorant and prejudiced drown out the informed and principled..Democracy is a delicate bloom, it can only survive with constant care and protection.

This is a good editorial but it’s still clear that the Times and the MSM won’t tell the truth about Trump’s declining mental state. You were all over Joe Biden in 2024. Why the difference?

Under all the moral turpitude is a very familiar corruption, a corruption of public purpose for personal benefit even if it is an illusory self-aggrandizement. Corruption has a stench, and everyone knows that wrenching smell – it takes no convoluted legalistic arguments to find it, it is obvious.

Agreed on the under-estimate. Didn't I read that prior to 2017 he was kind of meh financially? And I think now he is over 8 billion, to me 7 of that is ill-gotten.

When are Americans going to acknowledge that Donald Trump is insane? I don’t mean this as a hyperbolic statement. I mean he is certifiably insane. It’s time to take action — Whatever action your convoluted constitution allows for—but he needs to be removed from office.

This is what America voted for-- Reporting about how this man have enriched himself is only going to make his supporters give him more money. But he won't enjoy it, that I can promise you.

Those are assets that could be seized. His new institutes of peace cash he will take for himself but his family & the entire regime's cash prizes should be seized in a DECENT America. Then, bc the rich got a little too eager in their DEMOCIDE, their tax rate should be MUCH higher than pre-REAGAN-85%

He’s been in violation of his oath since he took office. If the United States was actually true to its own Constitution then Trump would have be removed and JD Vance would be warned not to try this same bullshit. There is absolutely no reason for the United States to be run this way.
