“Massive corruption going on in the White House. The Swiss gave [Trump] a personalized gold bar… Qatar gave him a jumbo jet… [Trump] pardoned a criminal because that person…helps his family with crypto. The amount of corruption is… unconscionable.”

See that Rolex clock and gold bar? It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off. Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%. While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief. https://bsky.app/profile/warren.senate.gov/post/3m5p5dfh5mk2f To negotiate a trade deal with the President of the United States, the Swiss government arrived with a "special Rolex desktop clock" and "a 1-kilogram personalized gold bar" (one kilo of gold is worth about $135k. A very small Rolex desk clock is $10k, but this one is probably worth many times that) apparently the presents may have come from members of the business delegation, not the government. but the impact is the same. https://www.axios.com/2025/11/14/trump-swiss-gifts-gold-rolex https://bsky.app/profile/anneapplebaum.bsky.social/post/3m5ovebmpsk2s "It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official. How the Swiss convinced Trump to drop tariffs with gifts of a Rolex desk clock and a 1 kg gold bar worth $130k. https://www.axios.com/2025/11/14/trump-swiss-gifts-gold-rolex https://bsky.app/profile/mims.bsky.social/post/3m5oei6y33s2j

“Trump allowed 17 Sinaloa cartel members into the US. In May he commuted the 6x life sentences of the Gangster Disciples, most notorious drug trafficking gang… Now Honduran drug trafficker Hernandez. Is Trump setting up his own drug corridor?”

I don't know why anyone thinks these guys are visionary at all, they're just the same power-hungry douchebags that humanity has had since time immemorial. They all just want to have their enemies and inferiors crushed and an unending supply of underage girls. It always comes back to that.

George Bush suspended habeas corpus rights for "terrorists"; later overturned by SCOTUS -- which I don't expect from the traitors on the Robber's Court, of course. Lincoln suspended them during the Civil War. It is a fight to be sure, but we've been in this fight now for 10 yrs. #NeverSurrender
