Thank you for your research, Wendy. The intricacies of these deals is beyond the beyond. Tragic that his buddies will be given key posts to do more damage.

This is a huge conflict of interest! senators, please note! Why is Trump not being required to divest prior to taking office? This stinks!

If these shell games were deemed too big, too confusing to fail, then that could have been the very intent.

Wendy, you are an A+ sleuth. Following the money over the next 4 years - Trump’s, Musk’s, their allies (co-conspirators) - will be key to undermining their credibility in all other aspects of their reign. But will the undereducated and ill-informed ever know they’ve been suckers? Investigative journalists like you need to get airtime that I fear Substack alone can’t provide. Good luck to you and all of us!

Thanks Harper! Hopefully reporting on following-the-money will get more coverage over the next four years.

For me to really understand all this will require someone who can put it all in terms a kindergartner could understand, but I do get it that all of this does not bode well for any of us. I hope you continue your digging and that the info you uncover and put together gets to people in places where some good can come from all your hard work. You have plans for that, of course. Some day soon, I hope we see this info on the news with charges being filed.

You begin to see the incentives in play and payoffs coming to people like SCOTUS justices, Senators and House Reps. Good to know people are watching.

Hey Magas, you are the laughingstock of the world. Electing a person like this to the presidency is the most disastrous thing anyone could do. He has had financial difficulties for 50 years because he doesn’t know how to manage money. His millionaire father bailed him out on many occasions, and he inherited his wealth, he never earned it. And finally, he is susceptible to blackmail and bribery because he is so greedy and can never get enough because money is the only thing that has ever mattered to him. You have no idea what you have done by putting this scourge back into the White House. The tens of millions he took last time will be child’s play compared to what he does this time. Magas, believe me when I tell you that you are the laughingstock of the earth. We’re all gonna laugh at you and continue laughing at you until he is gone, one way or another.

Of course he’s going to divest himself of all holdings before taking office so there isn’t even so much as a whiff of impropriety, right?

I’m fairly sure that everything he’s ever done has had some illegality to it. I’d probably bet money on it.
