Donald Trump's first 100 days have been characterized by the most flagrant corruption imaginable. Today, I want to talk about 10 of the absolute worst examples. (Thread 🧵)

#10 - The Tesla Ad During a Tesla stock crash and days after Elon Musk infused $100m into Trump's political operation, the two stood on the South Lawn of the White House, posing for the cameras while the President purchased a Tesla. Pay to play and product placement on the White House lawn.

#9 - Gutting the Watchdogs Trump has acted to dismantle or manipulate regulatory agencies, like the NLRB and CFPB, that are, in many cases, investigating companies owned by Musk and Trump's other billionaire buddies. With no watchdogs, corruption becomes policy.

#8 - Quid Pro Quo …Again Indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams got his charges dropped in what appeared to be a quid pro quo for pledging to do Trump’s dirty work on unrelated immigration policy. Numerous DOJ officials resigned in protest, and justice was never served.

#7 - Anti-Bribery Laws Out The Window Trump ordered the DOJ to pause enforcement of anti-bribery laws, making it easier for U.S. companies to bribe foreign officials. Not just turning a blind eye to corruption. Tacitly authorizing it.

#6 - Musk's Insider Info Elon Musk and his DOGE bros gained access to enforcement data at OSHA, and the private information of millions of Americans held by the IRS and other agencies. He now holds the data to power his AI, or to weaponize against his competitors. Under Trump, access to your data is a perk of friendship.

#5 - Billionaire Favoritism Trump’s FAA threatened to cancel a long-standing contract with Verizon in hopes of replacing it with a contract with Elon Musk-owned Starlink. No open bidding. No oversight. Just blatant favoritism for a billionaire donor and buddy.

#4 - Spending Tax Dollars at His Own Properties So far, Trump has made 63 visits to his own properties costing taxpayers millions of dollars that go directly into his pocket. At least half of those were golf visits, including while he sent the stock market tumbling. I guess that's par for the course.

#3 - Picking Apart the Law Firms Trump publicly threatened law firms which employed lawyers or represented clients he didn’t like, chilled legal opposition to his policies, and extorted hundreds of millions in free legal work for his pet causes. A literal racket.

#2 - The DOJ as Personal Attorneys He hired his top criminal lawyers to lead the department. The result? Cases against Trump allies dropped. Investigations into critics launched. The DOJ under Trump hasn't just been politicized — it has been weaponized to reward loyalty and punish dissent.

#1 - The Memecoin Effectively posting his Venmo for the entire world to buy favor, Trump's memecoin is the most egregious, and most lucrative example of political corruption in modern history. In fees alone, Trump has seen hundreds of millions of dollars flow into his personal bank account and that of his kids, including money from foreign interests looking to buy influence.

This Trump Corruption List is nowhere near comprehensive. That's exactly the problem. I'm going to continue doing everything I can, every single day to rein in this corrupt president. And dangerous Administration. I know you will, too.
