Never forget that even as President Musk is destroying the government agencies and Trump’s henchmen are taking apart the Department of Justice piece by piece, when he isn’t pretending to be Alexander the Great and playing golf he’s making money for himself and his family. This term they aren’t even trying to hide it:
The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration left her job this weekend after a clash with billionaire Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service over its attempts to access sensitive government records, three people familiar with her departure said Monday.
The Oval Office meeting convened by President Trump brought together the most important leaders in the world of professional golf: Jay Monahan, the top executive at the PGA Tour, and, via telephone, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the chairman of the Saudi Arabia-backed league known as LIV Golf. The stated goal was to figure out a way to eliminate roadblocks preventing the planned merger between the rival two groups.
But the gathering earlier this month said something even more important about the Trump administration itself. Mr. Trump was not simply using the power of his office to forge an agreement — something that presidents have done for centuries. In this case, Mr. Trump was pushing a merger that relates to his own family’s financial interest. The Trump family is a LIV Golf business partner. The family has repeatedly hosted LIV tournaments at its golf venues, including one planned in April at the Trump National Doral in Miami for the fourth year in a row.
There was a time when a president was harassed for four years for allegedly taking a phone call from his son when he was Vice President years before. You know, that whole HUnter Biden thing. Today, Trump is putting together million dollar deals for himself right in the oval office.
It seems trivial now considering what else they are doing to actually kill, sicken and impoverish Americans. But it’s still worth mentioning, I think. The President of the United States is selling the presidency of the US to a Saudi Arabian golf tournament for his own profit. And that’s on top of a whole bunch of Trump Org. deals all over the world. I honestly won’t be surprised if he signs the deals in the Oval like he signs his Executive Orders.
Ask yourself what you would have thought during the Bush administration if anyone had told you this would happen in the future.
