Money laundering. It's all money laundering. The stock, the watches, the NFTs, the sneakers.

Trumps Stuff Shop You won't ever get what you order - because the stuff does not exist! (Except the cheap MAGA-Caps, produced in China for 50 Cent/Piece.) If you have paid - your Money is lost! When you ask when you will get what you ordered you get various excuses and delayments. In about 50 days Trump will be away anywhere with YOUR Money… but you will never get what you paid for! Any Question? The 100 K$ watch An invitation to Foreign(?) Supporters or others giving a campaign donation for getting something back (not the watch). Imagine: Anyone wants to give an unlawful donation for own advantage. He“buys“ watches. But surely not 100 K$ watches… (No problem for Trump to send the donor some 9,95 $ look alike watches Made in China.)

Tax shelter, straw dollars, you name it. It isn't a grifting criminal organization, it would be more accurate to be described as a malevolent fleecing force of evil. It should be expunged. Perhaps it will be resolved naturally, but if not....

[@jayanderson66]

Of course you are right. It is just a way to funnel large chunks of money to Trump. It does not even mean he has to win the election as long as he has power over republicans, the Saudiis can funnel money for favors for example and then Trump pressures republicans to do their bidding. Money laundering or favor washing more correctly. Vote for Democrats to get better government. Trump can sent huge favors and goods, like jets and missiles to his friends, sell the Ukrainians and Palestinians down the drain using this technique. Demand honesty.

[@kentkvalnes4621]

Yes, technically he is broke. But don't be broke the way the rest of us are when we're broke. He still has large values ​​in real estate and other valuable assets. These are values ​​he does not really own with his own money. Unfortunately, it is these values ​​that he mixes and tricks with to make his wealth sound enormous. He moves the values ​​down when he has to declare the tax values ​​and moves the values ​​up when he has to ask for a loan. He lives off the deposit that the tax authorities cannot collect. The authorities cannot deprive him of these values, if he is otherwise completely broke. He must have something to survive on. That is why he tries to swindle money on everything he now markets with his own name on it.

I’m quietly a Black sheep in a sea of MAGA voting for our first woman President! It really isn’t safe to be public about my disgust, anxiety and opposition of 45 where I live. I’ve been anti-Trump since reading his book, “The Art Of The Deal” in the early 90’s. He has only and absolutely proven me right since then.

[@anitadavidson1266]

@@angiesidwell4784 Excellent!! 😁 Elon is in a huge snit due to not being invited to the Billionaire Tech summit in the UK. Why was he not invited? Because he incited the rioters in England and Northern Ireland against immigrants - many refugees from Ukraine who they attempted to burn down the hotel they were living in - women and children! He used his X platform to criticise the fact that these rioters were through the court system, and in prison just weeks after they were identified. They are still being arrested now. They will not stop until each and every ignorant b**t*rd is in prison for up to 3 years. What Elon tried to say was that they only used social media. They did, but only to organise themselves into mobs. Elon Musk has no business sense, he has simply bought his way up the money scale, by buying the intelligence of others, before pushing them out of their own company - take Tesla for instance. 😕🤐

[@craighall2888]

If this is true. Reported yesterday. Ukraine shot down a Russian drone on August 26, it was found to have Elon Musk's Star Link System installed on the Shahed drone. Giving it unlimited communication for a range of 2,000 Km. With the help of Star Link Russia can use the Shahed drone to conduct extremely long range loitering munition, conduct reconnaissance and with additional camera hit moving targets. If this is true, someone better be looking closer at Elon Musk's security clearance! Sounds like he is a traitor.

[@DebT-s4k]

@@lauriesell7934 he could always leverage a loan with less than legal types. Or sell a 100k watch that has no guarantee of actually being delivered, so he can get free foreign money from less than savory types. That's called money laundering by the way. It just boggles the.mind that Trump could claim the US economy is SO BAD, and then offer 100k watches for sale!! But then you read the fine print on the website...they have no delivery date, but nevertheless, of COURSE they ship overseas!! So Trump is inviting foreigners to spend 100k on a watch they may never get. I can.almost guarantee Putin is ordering at least 10!!!

[@georgebrutko6467]
