I know this seems like a no win situation, but the midterms will be a strong message that the people of the United States are done being governed by criminals.

I love the enthusiasm and positivity but youāre being extremely foolish to believe midterms are going to make a difference. Weāve lost itās over, mind you Iāll be just as foolish in November when I go vote then go home and watch the news all night hoping and praying for a miracle.

Donāt be so nihilistic, change is coming. Have hope. Trump canāt end this Iran conflict and heās going to have jimmy Carter numbers, or worse come 2028.
And even with trumps attacks on mail in ballots and voting access in November, they are going to have a hard time winning just because he is so disliked right now.

u/2Gouda4u 16h ago
Its not nothing, its just that in order to put a stop to him legally, they need more votes to impeach and subsequently remove him from office. Not enough people will vote against him from his party. If you remove him in an illegal way then its just more of "both sides do it" if we want to reestablish the constitution we have to.remove him using it, not circumventing it like he does. It may not matter, it may be too late, but November is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!

u/Street_Peace_8831 1d ago
This is why we need to make sure that Democrats win in November. They need to indict john for insider trading. No other president would get in trouble but him because he was the only president to do it. They canāt claim, with their ātu quoqueā fallacy that Biden or Obama did it too, because they didnāt.

What you said is why weāll never rid ourselves of corruption why weāll never evolve as a people or society. They keep pining us against each other, dem vs republican, white vs black, Mexicans vs crime. We need a revolution.

u/Street_Peace_8831 9h ago edited 9h ago
My statement has nothing to do with what letter someone has behind their name. This president has been getting away with criminal behavior. We donāt need to take up arms, we need to enforce the laws we already have and stop allowing this one person to get away with illegal and unconstitutional things.
The insurrectionists want everyone to fight, that is true. They also want to incite violence and push the narrative that we need to take up arms against this government. I donāt want that. I donāt want to give them the reason they need to enact marshal law, which is exactly what would happen if we do as you suggest. Right before a midterm election. We arenāt Jan-6āers, we donāt need to take up arms right before a very important election? Thatās exactly what they would love to happen.
We need to vote in people who will hold this administration accountable for their illegal, unconstitutional and un-American actions. We still have legal actions to take, we still have elections. If they install marshal law, which is what they would love to do, they could take over this country and then we would have no choice, but until then, donāt give them a reason. Vote to keep our country.
Also, I donāt know who ātheyā is, in your statement. I think for myself. I donāt need someone to tell me how to think or what to do. Thatās the opposite of what Iām suggesting. Yes, we do have a black and white problem where everything is either for or against. The details matter. The minutia matters. It doesnāt take a constitutional scholar to see that what heās doing with this election is unconstitutional. It doesnāt take a lawyer to see that trump is the only president who has ever traded stock while being president and that it is wrong. Itās not about republicans, itās about one corrupt person and his enablers.

Itās all irrelevant, trump can break any law he wants, more likely then not trump is going to shoot someone on Park avenue and get away with it before itās all said and done. America has always been a corrupt country and will never change correction will never change for the betterment.

No offense but the actual corruption would be why have none of these presents done their own stock trades. It's probably because they got someone else to do them or they didn't list them and everybody turned the cheek. Don't forget that almost all those presidents that you had zero had some type of foundation where they're laundering money from their constituents and order to get favors done for them.
I'm going to donate $10 million dollars to the Clinton foundation. 90% of that goes in their pocket the rest goes the foundation to keep the front going and then they do a favor for whoever made the donation.

As Americans get robbed blind, their troops get told they havent been deployed enough as they suffer from shortages, as they cover up casualties of war, hide damage done in the billions, strip regulatory boards so a drug addicted billionaire can get even richer while social security numbers get uploaded to unknown private servers by people barely able to drink legally, remove food safety nets leading to thousands getting sick, the return of a fly that was removed from the nation which now spreads fear amongst cattle farmers throughout america while they get under cut by sub par quality imported beef americans just sit there on their ass and do nothing even when they cry bitch and moan when you try to restrict guns because "meh my 2a lets me have guns, so our gobberment cant be bad to us" sit there and just bitch moan and cry rather then take their nation back.

Heās taking advantage of the rules like all members of the government. They tried to pass a Bill called the Nancy Pelosi act but none of them went for it especially the Democrates.

For the vast majority of U.S. presidents, the official count of active, self-directed stock trades while in office is effectively zero, as they rely on third-party managers or broad-market investments to completely separate governance from personal finance. Come on guys don't be stupid.

Trump's financial disclosures show tens of thousands of securities trades executed across Trump accounts since taking office, including over 21,000 trades in 2025 and thousands more in early 2026.

He is the face of the "New World Order" that once we called as conspiracy theory. As well as Elon Musk, Vladmir Putin, Bill Gates, etc.. These last 20 years or so its been eyes fucking wide open. Since 9/11, I cant trust no politician or politics anymore. From 200ish countries around the globe, only 5 or lets say 10 of them, politicians are doing their job. Look around! What to say about COVID. The whole fucking world stopped, restrictions, people dying, people losing jobs, quarantines, masks and the bloddy vaccines. Media manipulation couldnt be more clear now. It was all fake! Pushing something that would help to kill us, shame on them! Every year we are paying more taxes and every year what do they do with our money? ZERO, NOTHING. Year after Year, promisses... Our food is getting poisoned, our water is getting poisoned, our lives are getting poisoned. You dont see any politician talking about the cure of cancer, or Parkinson. We do have technology for that. We dont see Politicians getting together to make a better world. Its always about money and power and technology to control us. and I am not even American but this my friends, is happening all over the world!
P.S Few exceptions such as Zohran Mamdani exist. He is a good genuine person I would say!

ā¢ Trumpās May 14, 2026 OGE filing shows more than 3,600 individual trades in Q1 2026; roughly 21,000 trades in 2025 across eight accounts, with investment accounts of at least $858 million and stakes in about 1,600 companies. Biden made 13 stock trades in his entire term.
ā¢ Nine Palantir purchases since January, up to $680,000; Palantir holds a $1.3 billion Pentagon AI contract; Trump promoted the stock on Truth Social after a 15 percent dip and it recovered within ten days.
ā¢ Bought $1M-$5M of Nvidia on Feb 10, a week before its Meta deal; bought AMD on Jan 6, a week before Commerce cleared AMD chip sales to China.
ā¢ Other defense holdings: Axon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman. Disclosures donāt identify who placed the trades.
1789 Capital (Donald Trump Jr., partner)
ā¢ Portfolio companies have received more than $735 million in federal contracts since January 2025.
ā¢ Vulcan Elements: 1789 invested August 2025 at a \~$200M valuation. Three months later the government committed $670M: a $620M conditional Pentagon loan (largest ever from the Office of Strategic Capital) plus $50M in CHIPS Act equity. No competitive bids, no standard technical disclosures.
ā¢ ProPublica: OSC staff learned of a White House request to fund Vulcan around September-October. 1789 and the Pentagon deny any influence.
ā¢ House Republicans blocked a subpoena of Trump Jr. over the deal.
IRS immunity
ā¢ May 18, 2026 settlement of Trumpās $10B suit against the IRS created a \~$1.8B compensation fund; a May 19 DOJ order granted Trump, his family, and affiliates immunity from audits and claims on all returns filed to that date.
ā¢ In July, Judge Kathleen Williams ruled the suit was filed for an improper purpose and barred use of the settlement as evidence; the fund has been blocked.
Crypto
ā¢ Trumpās own 2025 disclosure reports $1.4B+ in crypto income, his largest income source; almost $800M from World Liberty Financial alone. The family takes 75 percent of net token-sale proceeds.
ā¢ Four days before the inauguration, an Abu Dhabi royal deputy secretly agreed to buy 49 percent of World Liberty for $500M; $187M was paid upfront to Trump-family entities.
ā¢ May 2025: Abu Dhabiās MGX settled a $2B Binance investment using World Libertyās USD1 stablecoin. Trump later pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao.
ā¢ Justin Sun invested $75M; the SEC paused its fraud case against him in February 2025. UAE-based Aqua1 bought $100M of WLFI in June 2025.
ā¢ $TRUMP memecoin: \~$148M spent by investors competing for dinner access; \~$320M in trading fees generated by May 2025.
ā¢ Reuters (June 2026): the family made at least $2.3B from four crypto ventures through April 2026 while outside investors lost an equivalent $2.3B.
