Comically Corrupt Kimberly Guilfoyle and the Lack of True Accountability

While Trump is president, however, there is essentially zero chance that Guilfoyle will be seriously investigated and prosecuted by the federal government. In fact, I would not be surprised if she lands a cushy job elsewhere in government or the private sector to keep her quiet.

Bribing America

As usual with many of Trump's schemes, it is a lose-lose situation for the American public. If Trump gets what he wants, America will surely suffer regardless of whether he follows through.

Trump, Corruption, and the Grift that Keeps on Grifting

Those of us not inexplicably under Trump's spell have to watch a sleezy, transparent conman degrade the office of the presidency and make decisions based not on what helps the country and its people but on what fattens his and his immoral family's wallets.

Malice and Division

At the White House UFC event, Josh Hokit regurgitated the bizarre and baseless rumor of former first lady Michelle Obama being born a man. Just like so much that involves or surrounds Trump, Hokit's comment was unnecessarily malicious and divisive.

Elon Musk and the Looting of Americans' Retirement

SpaceX is an unprofitable company with no reliable track record. Yet, within weeks, millions of American's retirement money may be shifted into SpaceX stock, which SpaceX has itself valued at an unprecedented $1.75 trillion.
