Corruption
Mr. President, every single day, we see a new example of Trump's rampant corruption. Senate Democrats are putting all of Trump's scams under the magnifying glass in the coming weeks, and Trump's new Truth API stands out as one of his most corrupt grifts yet. Every day, there is a new example of these kinds of grifts that Trump gets involved in. Instead of draining the swamp like he promised, Trump has filled it to the brim. Now look at this: Trump is charging admission. For the low price of $100,000 a month, an investor can turn a profit off early access to Trump's market-moving posts. Trump imposes new tariffs? Subscribers can short their stocks before anyone else. Trump announces a new contract? Subscribers know where to invest. Trump shakes up the Fed? Subscribers get to reposition before the rest of the market blinks. Meanwhile, Trump rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars in subscription fees. Truth API is the exact definition of ``insider trading.'' It is textbook pay-to-play. And this is what Donald Trump spends his time doing. And remember, traders need only a millisecond headstart to make a fortune. Just 1 millisecond and they can make a lot of money, the way trading works these days. As always, Trump's corruption benefits the rich at the expense of working families. How many American families do you think can afford $100,000 a month to get a leg up in the market? Trump is doing what he always does: selling out America, American interests, and the American people to the highest bidder. Republicans ought to be up in arms about Truth API and the latest news about Trump's foreign jet. Trump's $400 million Qatari jet is the biggest single bribe an American President has ever accepted in our history. Let me repeat that. Trump's $400 million Qatari jet is the single biggest bribe an American President has ever accepted in history. I have been warning about this for months. And somehow, the American people still get an invoice. It will reportedly cost the taxpayer as much as $1 billion to retrofit Trump's plane for Presidential use. We just learned that his luxury jet is grounded until it can be ``maxed out'' to meet the same standards as the old Air Force One. Give me a break. Commercial airline ticket costs are up 27 percent over last year, and Trump wants the American people to pay to get his airborne palace off the ground? Trump ought to rename the plane ``Air Farce One.'' It is not Air Force One; it is ``Air Farce One.''
