Greed is maga’s God.
David Sacks, Trump’s AI and crypto czar, then took a leading role in the negotiations—and received a White House ethics waiver in order to do so.

It’s not getting attention cause no one cares
The NYT exposes what is likely the biggest corruption scandal in American history as Trump personally gets a $2 Billion bribe from the United Arab Emirates in exchange for giving them — and China — our most advanced microchips.
This is the very definition of corruption.
It was a massive quid pro quo at the heart of Trump’s new administration: the United Arab Emirates quietly funneled $2 billion into a crypto company (World Liberty) directly owned y Trump and his family (and his shady real estate buddy Steve Witkoff) and almost immediately after, Trump magically greenlit a highly controversial deal handing the UAE hundreds of thousands of America’s most advanced AI chips.
These weren’t just a few leftovers. The UAE demanded half a million of Nvidia’s cutting-edge AI semiconductors every year — chips so advanced they’re considered the crown jewels of American innovation. These are the chips that power military drones, autonomous weapons, and AI systems that the Pentagon has repeatedly said are key to the global arms race.
And what country is the UAE cozying up to? China. They conduct joint military drills with Beijing, co-develop weapons, and even filled their own data centers with Chinese tech from Huawei and other companies that U.S. intelligence warned could be used to siphon off American secrets.
The Biden administration had denied access of US chips to the UAE saying it was too risky. Trump, on the other hand? His White House fired the officials raising red flags, rolled out the red carpet for UAE’s national security chief, and inked the deal IMMEDIATELY after the Trump family’s crypto startup & pocketed a cool 2 billion
And it gets worse…
At the very same time Trump and Witkoff were dining with UAE’s Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed (the shadowy security chief who wears sunglasses indoors like a Bond villain), their sons were busy finalizing the $2 billion transfer into their brand new crypto scheme, World Liberty. That one check instantly turned World Liberty into one of the world’s biggest crypto players — and guaranteed Trump’s circle TENS OF MILLIONS in personal profits every single year.
So yes, while Trump was literally promising to hand over America’s most dangerous technology to a petro-state tied to China, his family was cashing the check. Even insiders in Trump’s own administration admitted they couldn’t tell whether he was representing America’s interests — or just his own bank account.
I feel like covering up his decades-long close friendship with a child rapist MIGHT be a skosh bigger there, New Republic.
Flooding the zone. The Trump administration is doing so much awful shit no one has time to focus on his personal financial corruption.
Yet.
Democrats don’t have the leadership or the cards to play right now to go after this and other obvious transgressions. After the midterms, hopefully a spinal implant
He has so many corruption scandals it’s hard to keep track of which one is the worst. Maybe he should just be tossed in the Hague or Gitmo for any one of them.
Can you please explain to me why the stories that almost no one covers are, when they’re covered at all, almost always only published with a headline that chastises people for not caring about the thing that almost no one covers?
Hell, he also has partnerships with Oman, Qatar, UAE, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, India, Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, South Korea, Vietnam, French St Martin and others on building Trump branded properties. Golf resorts, Trump towers, oceanside villas, many with governments taking land by eminent domain, providing financing, slackve labor and more. His crypto had a Chinese billionaire that was under SEC investigation ( not any more) that invested $30 million, a Chinese Tik Tok influencer that showed no revenue last year and invested $300 million. He also went 60/40 with Pakistan with his World Liberty Financial crypto, his sons are opening a club called the Executive Branch, with a $500k membership fee and promised access to top officials. Everything he’s doing deserves jail time, or a military tribunal as a traitor.
The media didn’t hound everyone asking how it isn’t corruption. They just reported it happening in the administrations terms like it was a totally normal thing. It has happened like a dozen times now, so it has become a normal thing.
At the center of this particular web of corruption is Steve Witkoff, an old friend of trump’s, going back decades, as well as trump’s intermediary with Moscow.
>hundreds of thousands of the world’s most valuable artificial intelligence chips, despite national security concerns
I’m sure Moscow would love to have those chips, even if they have to pay a shipping fee to the UAE.
Yeah that’s pretty bad, but I think people are more concerned with the child trafficking.
It’s getting attention. I heard about it from several media sites. So, where do I report this apparent conflict of interest? Is there a hotline where I can blow the whistle on him to the Justice Dept.?!
How can you possibly focus on him making money when everything else is on fire lol. There’s like unlimited Trump related topics going on at once now.
For you it was the biggest corruption scandal in American history. For Trump, it was Tuesday.
Congress supports him.
The supreme Court said he is untouchable.
Why would anyone be surprised he is doing everything out in the open.
Don’t let this corruption go unchecked
Yep, we’re just okay with the theft now.
F 47.
He is selling foreign countries that have traditionally been anti-American our top military tech after they gave him hundreds of millions through his crypto. There is nobody in American history that has been a bigger traitor.
That’s because it’s so damn hard to keep up with, the guy commits more crimes before 9am than most criminals do all day
Bro belongs in the stockade
It’s because the Supreme Court has already said Trump is allowed to do whatever he wants. Congress, too.
He literally could abuse children and his supporters would turn the other cheek – just like in those crazy cults.
And nothing will happen… I’m so sick of these fing ppl.
His supporters don’t care, and his cabinet and Justice department are in on the scam. This is the status quo now.
Epstein files *cough cough*
Because it’s a day the end in Y
That’s because everyone cares more about human rights. Corrupt leaders suck, but we have actual existential concerns, like the end of democracy and freedom
No one has even brought this up yet but who paid for the chips in the beginning? Was it tax payers or was this his broker free from the chip companies?
Distraction here and there abd no one finds time to ask about their financial misappropriation
Doesn’t Trump just fire or try to arrest the people who can or should be investigating him and give their job to incompetent puppets? If Americans don’t care about him rounding up innocent immigrants and putting them in camps then deporting them to random countries and people don’t care he has raped women including teenagers and they don’t care his best friend was basically a pimp that provided underage girls to the ultra wealthy why would they care he made 5 billion dollars in crypto scams . I don’t think they would care if he was on tape sleeping with children or giving Putin top secret information.
Yeah, everyone is focused on the files. Those files he wants everyone to forget about…
The Epstein files are the distraction.
The problem is pretty much everyone in Congress are inside-traders…. They can’t really go after the president when they’re corrupt as well. Tough bind
Why are people cheering on the billionaires? 🫣
With multiple scandals a day it’s hard to pick which is worse. That’s why it works so good.
