I Tracked Down The Companies Bribing Trump

More Perfect Union | February 23, 2026



We took a deep dive into Trump’s tariffs, and his real approach became painfully clear.Make tariff threats, extract money from companies willing to pay, then grant exceptions to those who play the game.It’s another lucrative scam for a wildly corrupt president.

    The scam seems to me to create crisis and fix the markets, like vance has a company with peter Thiel that buys up foreclosed farmland , well then that’s why they are hurting the farmers. Then buying property federally that was slum property and using IS tax money for the real estate business to get double the profit. The gov used to get things with the lowest bits. They have to use tax dollars sparingly but who else but Trump knows how to drive up housing prices and bids, same thing he was doing with epstein. If you create a bidding war it drives up cost. Need caps in things

    hahaha, if this were true the dems would´ve used it long ago against him. Even better… just go and give it to CNN or MSNBC, they would be really happy to change the current status and go back to Biden´s era. Go! What are you waiting for?

    I can not believe people are buying this, 1 Million here, 5 Million here and this is what gets them a break? Common the Trump campaign cares about 5 million? A presidential race costs between 3 and 7 billion dollars, NOT million, billion, so 5.000.000.000 Dollars and Trump cares for a million here or there? This is what you call solid investigative journalism. Have you looked into Burisma, Joe Bidens son got about 6.5 Million from them and you think that a guys like Trump cares about 5 million. I think he finds this kind of money in his sweat pants every other morning because he left it there after a walk in Mar-a-Lago.

    "don't listen to what they say, to watch what they do. It's that simple". I'm sorry to say this, but you're a moron if you're just now realizing this. Republicans have been strategically transferring wealth to the haves since the Reagan administration.

    I'm sorry that the farmers are just now realizing it. They've been robbing you since the 80s, you just didn't know it, or refused to accept it

    Don't forget this corruption is pretty transparent on the stock market and crypto. The Gamestop short was proof of that. We the people still have power, but unfortunately we are too divided to make a change. Love your neighbor and work together. Mainstream is just a deliberate tactic to keep us divided and in the dark. The last 6 years has been the largest transfer of wealth this century so far.

    So, all this money trump brags the U.S. is making off tariffs… The millions, billions, where does it go? Why are our taxes still high? Our groceries, gasoline still high.. still no medical plan. Is it going in trumps pocket?

    Imagine when Mr. Quid Pro Quo Trump is not president and government oversight is back to normal. People will see jail time. Does anyone thing the screeching heads of FOX will cover the corrution? We cant jail Donny so go after the corporate CEO's

    If Minnesota’s soybean industry decided not to play the bribery game, I wonder if the harshness and presence of of ICE in Minnesota is to send a several fold message. It also says to the governor not to get any ideas about running for president since he was Trump’s opponent’s running mate last cycle. I think Trump is sending a message to all states that they’d better show fealty to the king.

    So not surprising when one is familiar with narcassistic 'in-grouping'and 'out-grouping'…. unearned privilege sheltereding a centralized group from accountability that forms tyrannists… fortunately a monumental example of what we need to build systems abd guardrails to reduce and avoid repeating ⚔️😎⚖️
