00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:14.240
Most of Americans are struggling to pay for everyday goods, groceries, gas, rent, mortgage, electricity,
2
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:21.559
water utilities. And while the majority of Americans are struggling
3
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.679
to pay for their basic needs, Donald Trump Donald Trump
4
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:34.359
is using this presidency to make money hand over fist.
5
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.280
Just before Donald Trump took office in twenty twenty five,
6
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:51.039
Trump branded cryptocurrency Dollar Sign Trump Token was put out
7
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:57.000
there trading in the dollar Trump meme. Coin generated about
8
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:01.840
three hundred and fifty million dollars in fees and dollar
9
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:08.280
peg crypto for entities tied to Trump. One analysis estimates
10
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:14.560
Trump personally likely cleared around one hundred to one hundred
11
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:21.599
and ten million dollars after taxes from his token alone,
12
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.560
and then after that Milania released her own token, but
13
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.879
we're gonna keep it to Donald Trump after that. In
14
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:33.879
regards to World Liberty financial which is related to crypto,
15
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.799
a House Judiciary Democratic memo drawing on ruiters said Trump
16
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.640
family crypto ventures primarily World Liberty and Dollar Sign Trump.
17
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:52.159
That's the mean coin produced over eight hundred million dollars
18
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.719
in income in just the first half of twenty twenty five.
19
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:06.719
Let's continue. World Liberty itself generated at least one point
20
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:12.280
four billion dollars for the Trump and Whitcough families over
21
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.639
over sixteen months, with the Trump side receiving about one
22
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:23.199
point two billion dollars in cash plus roughly two point
23
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.080
two five billion in unrealized crypto gains, and the doll
24
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.680
keeps rolling in by way of the presidency for Donald Trump.
25
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.280
UAE stakesale in World Liberty and m mrity buyer acquired
26
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.960
forty nine percent of World Liberty for five hundred million dollars,
27
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.000
of which the Trump family reportedly took in about one
28
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:56.319
hundred and eighty seven million dollars in immediate cash. Forbes
29
00:02:56.439 --> 00:03:01.280
describes this as an incredible deal for Trump, far richer
30
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:07.719
than what the fundamentals alone would justify Trump linked ventures.
31
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.360
The overall crypto income for these Trump linked ventures public
32
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:19.879
reporting synthesized by Congressional Investigators, estimates more than eight hundred
33
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:26.120
million dollars in crypto asset income into Trump family pockets
34
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:31.000
by mid twenty twenty five, with total crypto related holdings
35
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.719
valued in the load to mid tens of billions of
36
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.879
dollars at its peak. One progressive tracker estimates that crypto
37
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.159
and Trump media added at least seven point five billion
38
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.599
dollars in paper net worth gains since early twenty twenty four.
39
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.919
So yeah, before he even took office, Donald Trump had
40
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.879
started making money off the presidency, off his word of
41
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.240
the presidency. There's more we're going to go into his
42
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.759
overseas real estate income that he's made since the beginning
43
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:15.560
of his second term. Crew projects Trump's income from overseas
44
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.199
developments during his second term alone is set to exceed
45
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.360
four hundred million dollars and likely top four hundred and
46
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.839
thirty million dollars, more than double what he made from
47
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.800
foreign properties in his first term. In twenty twenty four,
48
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.639
just before and after the election, foreign property income hit
49
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.360
a record one hundred and one to one hundred and
50
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.920
nine million dollars in a single year, a level that,
51
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:52.519
if sustained, would replicate that four hundred million dollars plus
52
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:57.519
over the next few years. Total four years. New foreign
53
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:02.560
licensing and golf deals that Donald Trump has made that
54
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:07.519
will bring in money for him. Crew and investigative reporting
55
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:12.360
point to huge new licensing deals in the UAE and
56
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:17.839
Golf States alone, generating over twenty million dollars in fees
57
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:22.199
from just a couple of recent projects on top of
58
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:27.560
existing foreign income streams. Over for this is, from twenty
59
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.240
fourteen to twenty twenty four, donald Trump disclosed at least
60
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:38.160
four hundred and thirty million dollars, possibly well over five
61
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:44.120
hundred and thirty million dollars from foreign developments projects. Projections
62
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.680
suggests he may roughly double that during his current term.
63
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.839
Then it goes in to talking about how Donald Trump
64
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:59.279
uses his properties for political and governmental and other influential events.
65
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.959
In secrets, documents tens of millions of dollars flowing from
66
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:10.240
political committees and ally groups to Donald Trump's properties over
67
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:15.279
his political career. In the second term, these bookings are
68
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:20.920
continuing and expected to add many millions more in revenue.
69
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.240
Specifically twenty twenty five to twenty twenty six totals are
70
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:31.720
still being compiled, but sit in the multi million dollar range.
71
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:36.439
And because Donald Trump still owns the businesses, these payments
72
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:42.600
are effectively direct income, not arms length investments. Because you know,
73
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:48.040
he didn't separate himself from the business. He didn't do
74
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:52.360
it in twenty sixteen. Either goes into Trump Media, True
75
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:58.279
Social and the AI Fusion Data Center merger. Trump's stake
76
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.079
in Trump Media and Technology Group was valued at roughly
77
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.560
two to three billion dollars at its peak in twenty
78
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.800
twenty five. Even after stop declines, his position remained worth
79
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.879
well over one billion dollars. A proposed merger with Nuclear
80
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:22.319
Fusion AI data center company implied a combined valuation around
81
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:27.920
six billion dollars, potentially boosting Trump's media and tech related
82
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:34.199
holdings by hundreds of millions to low billions. On paper,
83
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.040
all of the products that he sells, the Bibles, the magacabs,
84
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.439
the T shirts. Trump's twenty twenty five financial disclosure lists
85
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.560
about three million dollars in income from a single Bible
86
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:53.759
deal sold via an allied musician's website. Add to that
87
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:59.920
several million more from branded sneakers, watches, fragrances, guitars, and books.
88
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.199
Public estimates put total merged income in the low to
89
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.319
eight figure range tens of millions of dollars, which you
90
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:12.759
combine all product lines. From twenty twenty four to twenty
91
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:19.279
twenty five, Donald Trump's overall networth increase since returning to office.
92
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:23.600
Will Forbes and others estimate Trump's net worth more than
93
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:28.079
doubled in roughly one year, from around two point five
94
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:32.840
to three point five billion pre election to five to
95
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:37.679
seven plus billion by late twenty twenty five, largely due
96
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:43.279
to crypto and media positions. One policy think tank pegs
97
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.480
his net worth increase attributable to these ventures at about
98
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:53.799
seven point five billion dollars, much of it unrealized but
99
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:59.159
directly tied to his status as president and to ventures
100
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:05.720
created or turbocharged after his twenty twenty four win. And
101
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.720
none of that includes the jet he got, the ten
102
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:14.159
billion dollar lawsuit that he's filed against the IRS, the
103
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.519
ten billion dollars that he sent on over to the
104
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:22.399
Board of Peace, the ten billion dollars he got from
105
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:27.000
the UAE that's sitting over in some bank account. It
106
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:31.639
doesn't include all of the shenanigans that's going on with
107
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:39.320
the trade. The trade deals that he's made that I
108
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.840
promise you is not on the behalf of the United States.
109
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.840
It is on the behalf of him and his regime.
110
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.320
None of that includes all of this other sisty shit
111
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.080
that's going on. The money that they are now withholding
112
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:03.960
in Medicare funds from Minnesota. They doing with those funds,
113
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.559
the that benefits that they are cutting back on, What
114
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:13.120
are they doing with those funds, The money that his
115
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:19.080
family is making the hundreds of millions of dollars that
116
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:20.600
his family is making.
117
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:25.919
M hm.
118
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:34.679
Meanwhile, this is what's happening to regular, everyday, hardworking.
119
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:39.360
People, and that's what my topic is. I went to
120
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.200
have my annual physical yesterday. I'm I'm sixty five years old,
121
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:47.720
I'm legally blind, I'm on disability. I went to my
122
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:52.840
doc and I lost twenty eight pounds in the last year.
123
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.399
I did not need to lose eight pounds. I did
124
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:04.120
not try to lose twenty eight pounds. I lost the
125
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:09.840
twenty eight pounds because I cannot afford eat anymore. Under Biden.
126
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:18.200
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Under Biden, I was able
127
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.279
to put off hundred dollars a month away for food
128
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.159
along with my SNAP and I did okay. I could
129
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:28.720
get fresh fruits, to fresh vegetables and meat. It is
130
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:34.200
just me. But now, with grocery prices so high, pro pain,
131
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:39.360
electricity out of this world, I now only allow myself
132
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.840
sixty five dollars a month for food.
133
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.200
Sharon, are you are you on SNAP benefits?
134
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.679
Let me tell you. I'm under Joe Biden. I received
135
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:54.000
eighty dollars a month for SNAP that was taken away
136
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.840
from me. Under Donald Trump, he took it away. He
137
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.519
gave me twenty four dollars a month. I receive that
138
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.240
for a couple of months. Then he took it down
139
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.679
to twelve twelve dollars and fifty cents a month. I said,
140
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.480
screw you. So I'm not doing that no more. So no,
141
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.960
I get sixty five dollars a month, Memi. And for
142
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.159
them people out there, all of them, so all these
143
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.440
Republicans that are doing so sliping well. Right now, I
144
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:26.360
have three potatoes, I have a half a tomato. I
145
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.639
have three bananas, one apple, one can of soup. I
146
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.679
have a loaf of bread, one egg, and one can
147
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.919
of green beans. I do not get paid until the
148
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:40.080
third I have disability blind, I cannot drive a car.
149
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.159
I'm fifteen miles out of town, so I am not
150
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.440
able to just oh trot my butt down to the
151
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.399
shoe sheelf. I used to volunteer at the food shelf.
152
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.039
I can't even do that anymore. I don't understand. I'd
153
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.120
write somebody to explain to me. Why is it always
154
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.000
the poor people that aren't helping the poor people. I
155
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.519
don't understand. But what I want to say, Mimi, is
156
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.240
that it's real coming like that man said then, just
157
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.320
coming near, and it can't be any more true for me.
158
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:07.440
And that's what my topic is.
159
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.480
I listened to her. I listened to that video a
160
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.200
couple of times this morning, and each and every time,
161
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.399
all I can think about is who did she vote for?
162
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:31.399
And this has been a serious battle within me for
163
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:36.440
the past few months, since Christmas almost I've been battling.
164
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.080
I don't want to become a person that lacks empathy.
165
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.840
And I saw myself heading down that road with all
166
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.600
of the fuck around and find out videos and I
167
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:55.000
told you sold videos. I saw myself heading down that road.
168
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.440
And in the new year, I decided I was gonna
169
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:07.159
pull back from that because my mind was really in
170
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:17.879
a battle, so much so that I have gone back
171
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:23.440
to therapy because I don't want to become a person
172
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:27.360
who lacks sympathy and empathy for my fellow man. I
173
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.799
don't want to become that, but I ain't there yet.
174
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.279
So when I listen, every time I listened to that video,
175
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:45.320
I just kept asking who did she vote for? It
176
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:49.879
was all fun and games when Donald Trump was dehumanizing
177
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.600
immigrants and black people. It was all fun and games.
178
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.720
It was all fun and games. When he was disrespecting
179
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:04.879
and denigrating members of the LGBTQIA plus community, it was
180
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:10.559
all funny games. When he was creating division across the board,
181
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:16.879
when he was villainizing the Democratic Party, demonizing the Democratic Party,
182
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.519
it was all funny games. Everybody was having a good
183
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:26.600
time cheering him on. It was all funny games because
184
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.159
you all thought, for whatever reason, it was going to
185
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.799
be the black people who were going to be hurting
186
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.759
the most. You thought you were going to be hurting
187
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:45.840
solely the immigrants, black and brown people, marginalized communities. That's
188
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.480
where you thought all of the harm, the hurt and
189
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:57.039
pain was going to be targeted towards. And now that
190
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:11.120
you are lumped into them, now you're crying. Now you're crying,
191
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.080
and you're so screwed up in the head you can't
192
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:21.000
realize that it's really not Democrat versus Republican, it's really
193
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:26.440
not black versus white, it's not the immigrants. You are
194
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.360
so screwed up in the head that you don't realize
195
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:35.039
that it's a class war out here. The rich are
196
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:39.879
getting richer off of your hurt and pain, and you
197
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:49.960
gave them that power. He was their vehicle. He was
198
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:57.480
their vehicle to put in policy or overturn policy that
199
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:04.680
protected us against them. But you were so focused on
200
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:13.759
Sam becoming Cheryl. You were so focused on the fact
201
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:20.240
that black people were starting to be treated equally when
202
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:25.119
it comes to pay, and we really weren't when it
203
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:30.920
comes to pay, when it comes to getting access to positions,
204
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.480
That's what you were focused on. You were focused on
205
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:44.480
making black people get back in the fields and becoming
206
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.960
subservient to you because you feel you are superior in
207
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:53.960
all aspects and you are due all of the finer
208
00:17:54.039 --> 00:18:01.759
things simply because you're white. Thank God, I got a
209
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.519
therapy appointment today because yeah, I'm gonna need it. Y'all,
210
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:07.279
let me know your thoughts. Put it down below.
1
00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:14.240
Most of Americans are struggling to pay for everyday goods, groceries, gas, rent, mortgage, electricity,
2
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:21.559
water utilities. And while the majority of Americans are struggling
3
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.679
to pay for their basic needs, Donald Trump Donald Trump
4
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:34.359
is using this presidency to make money hand over fist.
5
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.280
Just before Donald Trump took office in twenty twenty five,
6
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:51.039
Trump branded cryptocurrency Dollar Sign Trump Token was put out
7
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:57.000
there trading in the dollar Trump meme. Coin generated about
8
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:01.840
three hundred and fifty million dollars in fees and dollar
9
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:08.280
peg crypto for entities tied to Trump. One analysis estimates
10
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:14.560
Trump personally likely cleared around one hundred to one hundred
11
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:21.599
and ten million dollars after taxes from his token alone,
12
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.560
and then after that Milania released her own token, but
13
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.879
we're gonna keep it to Donald Trump after that. In
14
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:33.879
regards to World Liberty financial which is related to crypto,
15
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.799
a House Judiciary Democratic memo drawing on ruiters said Trump
16
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.640
family crypto ventures primarily World Liberty and Dollar Sign Trump.
17
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:52.159
That's the mean coin produced over eight hundred million dollars
18
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.719
in income in just the first half of twenty twenty five.
19
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:06.719
Let's continue. World Liberty itself generated at least one point
20
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:12.280
four billion dollars for the Trump and Whitcough families over
21
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.639
over sixteen months, with the Trump side receiving about one
22
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:23.199
point two billion dollars in cash plus roughly two point
23
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.080
two five billion in unrealized crypto gains, and the doll
24
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.680
keeps rolling in by way of the presidency for Donald Trump.
25
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.280
UAE stakesale in World Liberty and m mrity buyer acquired
26
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.960
forty nine percent of World Liberty for five hundred million dollars,
27
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.000
of which the Trump family reportedly took in about one
28
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:56.319
hundred and eighty seven million dollars in immediate cash. Forbes
29
00:02:56.439 --> 00:03:01.280
describes this as an incredible deal for Trump, far richer
30
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:07.719
than what the fundamentals alone would justify Trump linked ventures.
31
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.360
The overall crypto income for these Trump linked ventures public
32
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:19.879
reporting synthesized by Congressional Investigators, estimates more than eight hundred
33
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:26.120
million dollars in crypto asset income into Trump family pockets
34
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:31.000
by mid twenty twenty five, with total crypto related holdings
35
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.719
valued in the load to mid tens of billions of
36
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.879
dollars at its peak. One progressive tracker estimates that crypto
37
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.159
and Trump media added at least seven point five billion
38
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.599
dollars in paper net worth gains since early twenty twenty four.
39
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.919
So yeah, before he even took office, Donald Trump had
40
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.879
started making money off the presidency, off his word of
41
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.240
the presidency. There's more we're going to go into his
42
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.759
overseas real estate income that he's made since the beginning
43
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:15.560
of his second term. Crew projects Trump's income from overseas
44
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.199
developments during his second term alone is set to exceed
45
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.360
four hundred million dollars and likely top four hundred and
46
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.839
thirty million dollars, more than double what he made from
47
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.800
foreign properties in his first term. In twenty twenty four,
48
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.639
just before and after the election, foreign property income hit
49
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.360
a record one hundred and one to one hundred and
50
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.920
nine million dollars in a single year, a level that,
51
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:52.519
if sustained, would replicate that four hundred million dollars plus
52
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:57.519
over the next few years. Total four years. New foreign
53
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:02.560
licensing and golf deals that Donald Trump has made that
54
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:07.519
will bring in money for him. Crew and investigative reporting
55
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:12.360
point to huge new licensing deals in the UAE and
56
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:17.839
Golf States alone, generating over twenty million dollars in fees
57
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:22.199
from just a couple of recent projects on top of
58
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:27.560
existing foreign income streams. Over for this is, from twenty
59
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.240
fourteen to twenty twenty four, donald Trump disclosed at least
60
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:38.160
four hundred and thirty million dollars, possibly well over five
61
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:44.120
hundred and thirty million dollars from foreign developments projects. Projections
62
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.680
suggests he may roughly double that during his current term.
63
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.839
Then it goes in to talking about how Donald Trump
64
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:59.279
uses his properties for political and governmental and other influential events.
65
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.959
In secrets, documents tens of millions of dollars flowing from
66
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:10.240
political committees and ally groups to Donald Trump's properties over
67
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:15.279
his political career. In the second term, these bookings are
68
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:20.920
continuing and expected to add many millions more in revenue.
69
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.240
Specifically twenty twenty five to twenty twenty six totals are
70
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:31.720
still being compiled, but sit in the multi million dollar range.
71
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:36.439
And because Donald Trump still owns the businesses, these payments
72
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:42.600
are effectively direct income, not arms length investments. Because you know,
73
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:48.040
he didn't separate himself from the business. He didn't do
74
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:52.360
it in twenty sixteen. Either goes into Trump Media, True
75
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:58.279
Social and the AI Fusion Data Center merger. Trump's stake
76
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.079
in Trump Media and Technology Group was valued at roughly
77
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.560
two to three billion dollars at its peak in twenty
78
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.800
twenty five. Even after stop declines, his position remained worth
79
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.879
well over one billion dollars. A proposed merger with Nuclear
80
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:22.319
Fusion AI data center company implied a combined valuation around
81
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:27.920
six billion dollars, potentially boosting Trump's media and tech related
82
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:34.199
holdings by hundreds of millions to low billions. On paper,
83
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.040
all of the products that he sells, the Bibles, the magacabs,
84
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.439
the T shirts. Trump's twenty twenty five financial disclosure lists
85
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.560
about three million dollars in income from a single Bible
86
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:53.759
deal sold via an allied musician's website. Add to that
87
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:59.920
several million more from branded sneakers, watches, fragrances, guitars, and books.
88
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.199
Public estimates put total merged income in the low to
89
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.319
eight figure range tens of millions of dollars, which you
90
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:12.759
combine all product lines. From twenty twenty four to twenty
91
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:19.279
twenty five, Donald Trump's overall networth increase since returning to office.
92
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:23.600
Will Forbes and others estimate Trump's net worth more than
93
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:28.079
doubled in roughly one year, from around two point five
94
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:32.840
to three point five billion pre election to five to
95
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:37.679
seven plus billion by late twenty twenty five, largely due
96
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:43.279
to crypto and media positions. One policy think tank pegs
97
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.480
his net worth increase attributable to these ventures at about
98
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:53.799
seven point five billion dollars, much of it unrealized but
99
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:59.159
directly tied to his status as president and to ventures
100
00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:05.720
created or turbocharged after his twenty twenty four win. And
101
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.720
none of that includes the jet he got, the ten
102
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:14.159
billion dollar lawsuit that he's filed against the IRS, the
103
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.519
ten billion dollars that he sent on over to the
104
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:22.399
Board of Peace, the ten billion dollars he got from
105
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:27.000
the UAE that's sitting over in some bank account. It
106
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:31.639
doesn't include all of the shenanigans that's going on with
107
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:39.320
the trade. The trade deals that he's made that I
108
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.840
promise you is not on the behalf of the United States.
109
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.840
It is on the behalf of him and his regime.
110
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.320
None of that includes all of this other sisty shit
111
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.080
that's going on. The money that they are now withholding
112
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:03.960
in Medicare funds from Minnesota. They doing with those funds,
113
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.559
the that benefits that they are cutting back on, What
114
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:13.120
are they doing with those funds, The money that his
115
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:19.080
family is making the hundreds of millions of dollars that
116
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:20.600
his family is making.
117
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:25.919
M hm.
118
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:34.679
Meanwhile, this is what's happening to regular, everyday, hardworking.
119
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:39.360
People, and that's what my topic is. I went to
120
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.200
have my annual physical yesterday. I'm I'm sixty five years old,
121
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:47.720
I'm legally blind, I'm on disability. I went to my
122
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:52.840
doc and I lost twenty eight pounds in the last year.
123
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.399
I did not need to lose eight pounds. I did
124
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:04.120
not try to lose twenty eight pounds. I lost the
125
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:09.840
twenty eight pounds because I cannot afford eat anymore. Under Biden.
126
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:18.200
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Under Biden, I was able
127
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:21.279
to put off hundred dollars a month away for food
128
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.159
along with my SNAP and I did okay. I could
129
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:28.720
get fresh fruits, to fresh vegetables and meat. It is
130
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:34.200
just me. But now, with grocery prices so high, pro pain,
131
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:39.360
electricity out of this world, I now only allow myself
132
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.840
sixty five dollars a month for food.
133
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.200
Sharon, are you are you on SNAP benefits?
134
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.679
Let me tell you. I'm under Joe Biden. I received
135
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:54.000
eighty dollars a month for SNAP that was taken away
136
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.840
from me. Under Donald Trump, he took it away. He
137
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.519
gave me twenty four dollars a month. I receive that
138
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.240
for a couple of months. Then he took it down
139
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.679
to twelve twelve dollars and fifty cents a month. I said,
140
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.480
screw you. So I'm not doing that no more. So no,
141
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.960
I get sixty five dollars a month, Memi. And for
142
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.159
them people out there, all of them, so all these
143
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.440
Republicans that are doing so sliping well. Right now, I
144
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:26.360
have three potatoes, I have a half a tomato. I
145
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.639
have three bananas, one apple, one can of soup. I
146
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.679
have a loaf of bread, one egg, and one can
147
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.919
of green beans. I do not get paid until the
148
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:40.080
third I have disability blind, I cannot drive a car.
149
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.159
I'm fifteen miles out of town, so I am not
150
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.440
able to just oh trot my butt down to the
151
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.399
shoe sheelf. I used to volunteer at the food shelf.
152
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.039
I can't even do that anymore. I don't understand. I'd
153
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.120
write somebody to explain to me. Why is it always
154
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.000
the poor people that aren't helping the poor people. I
155
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.519
don't understand. But what I want to say, Mimi, is
156
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.240
that it's real coming like that man said then, just
157
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.320
coming near, and it can't be any more true for me.
158
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:07.440
And that's what my topic is.
159
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.480
I listened to her. I listened to that video a
160
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.200
couple of times this morning, and each and every time,
161
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.399
all I can think about is who did she vote for?
162
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:31.399
And this has been a serious battle within me for
163
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:36.440
the past few months, since Christmas almost I've been battling.
164
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.080
I don't want to become a person that lacks empathy.
165
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.840
And I saw myself heading down that road with all
166
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.600
of the fuck around and find out videos and I
167
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:55.000
told you sold videos. I saw myself heading down that road.
168
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.440
And in the new year, I decided I was gonna
169
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:07.159
pull back from that because my mind was really in
170
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:17.879
a battle, so much so that I have gone back
171
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:23.440
to therapy because I don't want to become a person
172
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:27.360
who lacks sympathy and empathy for my fellow man. I
173
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.799
don't want to become that, but I ain't there yet.
174
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.279
So when I listen, every time I listened to that video,
175
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:45.320
I just kept asking who did she vote for? It
176
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:49.879
was all fun and games when Donald Trump was dehumanizing
177
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.600
immigrants and black people. It was all fun and games.
178
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.720
It was all fun and games. When he was disrespecting
179
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:04.879
and denigrating members of the LGBTQIA plus community, it was
180
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:10.559
all funny games. When he was creating division across the board,
181
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:16.879
when he was villainizing the Democratic Party, demonizing the Democratic Party,
182
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.519
it was all funny games. Everybody was having a good
183
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:26.600
time cheering him on. It was all funny games because
184
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.159
you all thought, for whatever reason, it was going to
185
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.799
be the black people who were going to be hurting
186
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.759
the most. You thought you were going to be hurting
187
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:45.840
solely the immigrants, black and brown people, marginalized communities. That's
188
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.480
where you thought all of the harm, the hurt and
189
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:57.039
pain was going to be targeted towards. And now that
190
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:11.120
you are lumped into them, now you're crying. Now you're crying,
191
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.080
and you're so screwed up in the head you can't
192
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:21.000
realize that it's really not Democrat versus Republican, it's really
193
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:26.440
not black versus white, it's not the immigrants. You are
194
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.360
so screwed up in the head that you don't realize
195
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:35.039
that it's a class war out here. The rich are
196
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:39.879
getting richer off of your hurt and pain, and you
197
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:49.960
gave them that power. He was their vehicle. He was
198
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:57.480
their vehicle to put in policy or overturn policy that
199
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:04.680
protected us against them. But you were so focused on
200
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:13.759
Sam becoming Cheryl. You were so focused on the fact
201
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:20.240
that black people were starting to be treated equally when
202
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:25.119
it comes to pay, and we really weren't when it
203
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:30.920
comes to pay, when it comes to getting access to positions,
204
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.480
That's what you were focused on. You were focused on
205
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:44.480
making black people get back in the fields and becoming
206
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.960
subservient to you because you feel you are superior in
207
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:53.960
all aspects and you are due all of the finer
208
00:17:54.039 --> 00:18:01.759
things simply because you're white. Thank God, I got a
209
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.519
therapy appointment today because yeah, I'm gonna need it. Y'all,
210
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:07.279
let me know your thoughts. Put it down below.
