      >President Trump is keeping proceeds from the first sale of Venezuelan oil in an offshore bank account based in Qatar, according to [reporting](https://www.semafor.com/article/01/14/2026/us-gets-first-500-million-venezuelan-oil-deal-holding-some-proceeds-in-qatar) from Semafor. The sale was worth $500 million.

      >This unprecedented move is yet another middle finger to Venezuelan sovereignty and once again raises questions about the president’s cozy relationship with the Qatari government.

      >“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren told Semafor. “That is precisely a move that a corrupt politician would be attracted to.”

      >That seems to be exactly what Trump is doing. Trump has vowed to “indefinitely” control Venezuela’s oil, claiming the proceeds will be given back to the U.S. and Venezuela.

      >Still, it remains unclear just how that money held in Qatar will benefit the Venezuelan people the administration claims to care about.

      Ugh I hate all of this..

      This cannot be real. Not even for someone as corrupt as Trump. No one is stupid enough to remove a dictator using their own countries military so they can simply profiteer the same way the previous dictator was… right???

      Well I for one am shocked the world’s most prolific grifter is in fact enriching himself at the cost of innocent lives.

      So, he used tax payer $ to illegally seized the oil, sold it and is now keeping that $$? How is that even legal????

      Can he just go enjoy his stolen money on an island somewhere and leave the rest of us alone?

      His family applied for a banking charter earlier this month so they can formally own their own bank. Once that gets approved it’ll be repatriated under their personal control

      Using our tax payer army to just grab what he wants from around the world

      A single day can’t go by without some fucking bullshit from that man. I’m so God damn tired of it.

      It’s totally legit, if you disagree with this, depending on your situation, we will deport you, extradite you or invade your country. Kneel in front of the Golden King or else… This is MAGA. Pedosident Trump appreciate your attention to this matter.

      Disregarding the fact that this is brazenly illegal, how was this even *possible?*

      Well we didn’t think he was doing anything for the good of America at this point, did we?

      No, it’s for himself. Like everything he ever does, since before he was elected. The first time😮‍💨

      I dunno how many corrupt, anti-Constitutional, and criminal acts this administration has to engage in before they’re declared categorically illegitimate and criminal. You can’t have a stable, peaceable, egalitarian country when the leadership repeatedly violates the law and basic norms like this. When you support DJT, you support a criminal.

      Rainy day fund in case he tries to run in 2028, loses, and has to flee to Russia.

      Setting himself up to be even richer when he eventually decides he’s had enough of playing president.

      In almost any other country, this cretin would be in a prison cell looking at a 100 year sentence.

      Wow…ok…so…yeah…he’s pulling a Putin. We are so fucked. So fucking fucked.

      Is he going to use it to buy more oil shares so he can short the market again.

      Filling an offshore account is one of the ways to win a game of Tropico, after all

      House and Senate Republicans are co-conspirators in a coup to establish a monarchy in the United States. Every last one of them is complicit in treason. They need to be brought to justice.
