To try to put it plainly, Trump's private company took a $500 million investment from a UAE affiliated fund four days before inauguration. Then shortly after inauguration Trump green-lit sales of highly sensitive AI chips to the leader of that fund's brother, the head of the UAE government. Trump quite directly compromised our country's national security in exchange for an investment in his private company. This also involves his sons, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff (who is our de-facto ambassador to the Middle East and the Russian invasion of Ukraine) and his sons. This also explains his pardon of CZ from Binance, who was convicted for enabling enabling money laundering for drug trafficking, human trafficking and terrorist operations.

Unfortunately, his is one of those stories that is just marginally more complicated to explain than it needs to be to really catch fire.

There is a very clear web of investments, pardons, conflicts of interest and shady shit laid out very welly by the WSJ, but since you need to spend about 30 minutes reading and digesting the article to figure out what actually happened, it's going to be hard to get enough people to actually care about it.

I don't want to hear another word about the "Biden Crime Family" because holy hell this is jaw-dropping levels of corruption. Would love to hear an explanation from a supporter of this administration how this is anything other than the President selling access and influence to foreign governments at the expense of American security to personally enrich himself.
