Trump SCAM BLOWS OPEN with SHOCK OFFSHORE SCHEME - Meidas Touch



In a stunningly corrupt move, Trump says the U.S. will ‘indefinitely control Venezuelan oil’ and is funneling proceeds into a Qatari bank instead of the U.S. Treasury—blocking courts and creditors from suing and leaving him alone to decide who gets paid, with the first large sale going to a company linked to one of his mega-donors. Dina Doll reacts. - 01/19/2026.

The greatest heist of the American people's tax dollars by their own president and his gang of grifters.

4. Exactly. He originally campaigned for campaign donations after every business he tried failed, including casinos

And since he's been in office he's had countless money-making schemes rather doing anything for the American people - which is the obvious job of any president. Instead he's alienated all of our long-time allies with his grift for power - and more money.
