Staggering, but not surprising.

The Trump family is literally a crime syndicate.

Ivanka, by the way, has just bought her own Epstein Island.

I see a lot of staggering from drinking too much TDS.

Another Farcebook TDS splutter.



When did they acquire the shares?
Months before the Kazakh prez met Trump.

What knowledge did they have that wasnt public?
The US is in open competition with China over rare earths. This has been public knowledge for years. Why woulc you not invest in Us companies that are parr of this competition?

Do you want the Trumps and other Americans to invest in Chinese companies against American ones?



President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has pursued a deliberate policy of attracting Western capital into Kazakhstan's resource sector, partly as a counterbalance to the country's historically close ties with both Russia and China. This creates a genuinely complex operating environment: Kazakhstan must balance economic partnerships with multiple powers while attempting to monetise its mineral wealth on favourable terms.
...
The development plan reportedly includes two processing plants and a dedicated metallurgical facility within Kazakhstan. This is significant because tungsten processing is chemically complex, involving multiple stages from crushing and flotation concentration through to the production of ammonium paratungstate (APT), the primary tradeable intermediate form of refined tungsten.

Building this infrastructure within Kazakhstan rather than exporting raw ore represents a substantially higher capital commitment but also creates significantly more value within the host country, which likely factored into Kazakhstan's decision to award the project. Securing reliable tungsten offtake agreements with Western end-users will, however, be equally critical to the project's long-term commercial viability.

...
The Kazakhstan government awarded the project to Cove Kaz Capital in September 2025, reportedly over competing bids from Chinese and Russian entities. The formal joint venture agreement with Tau-Ken Samruk was concluded in November 2025. US government financing agencies subsequently indicated interest in providing up to $1.6 billion in combined support, against a total project development cost of $1.1 billion.
...
Reports indicate that the Kazakhstani government selected Cove Kaz Capital over competing proposals from Chinese and Russian interests. If accurate, this represents a deliberate strategic choice by Astana to orient a major mineral asset toward Western capital and supply chains. The growing importance of tungsten in defence and aerospace applications has made such supply chain realignments a priority for Western governments and their allies alike.

For Kazakhstan, such decisions carry significant diplomatic weight, as the country must balance its economic relationships with Russia (through shared Soviet-era infrastructure and the Eurasian Economic Union) and China (its largest trading partner) against growing engagement with Western investors and institutions. Whether this decision reflects a durable strategic realignment or a calculated tactical move to maximise leverage across multiple partners remains an open analytical question.

Yes, all that would be true, dear boy, without one teensy little fact.

Eric and Don Jnr have a 20% stake in the company.

Strange, some may say. Eric and Don Jnr typically invest Daddy's money in hotels and golf courses, don't they? Okay, maybe a little memecoin startup here or there. But come come, what on earth do they know about tungsten mining in Kazakhstan?

Er, how to get $1.8 bil out of the US government and security off the Kazakhstani government?

Oh, I see. Naughty Hunter Biden-type behaviour, even though he never actually did it.

But I say, dear boy. In the other thread, Aquascoot's telling us all how the Don's just doing this politics nonsense for the cash. At least he has the balls to be corrupt, Aquascoot said, it's really rather brave when you think about it.

I'll have you know I gave him a good piece of my mind.

How very dare you, we said. The Don has principles. He's doing politics to save unborn babies and drill baby drill and keep all those Nig Nogs out.

Aquascoot didn't know what to say, poor thing. I hope he's alright.

I left out a few key principles, I know. Oh - taking Greenland off the Danes. How could I miss that one?

No doubt Eric and Don Jnr have a stake in that one too, no?

Yes, but not everyone tariffs the entire world so they can send their kids in to clean up, now do they?

And not everyone does a deal with the IRS to prevent all future tax audits and investigations.

And not everyone signs his own personal business over to his kids so they don't have to file declarations.

Cunning, no?

But it is rather strange, I must say. You said the exact opposite when you heard about some email alluding to ten percent to the big guy. You got yourself into a right old dither if I recall.

So now we know. Next time Tucker goes after some Dem's kid with a fake laptop, you can say this, no?

Everyone looks out for their family. That's entirely appropriate.

No, Bobby, insider trading is when someone in the company gets a whiff and buys in.

When the US spends $1.8 bil in a critical minerals deal and the prez sends his boys in to grab a 20% stake, that's called something else.

Bibi's banned the rebuilding of Gaza, Bobby. The Gazans can hurry up and die already.

Bibi's now in Beirut, killing off the Lebs, after he got DL into a new endless war with Iran.

And that's okay - it's all approved by Jared, who chairs the Peace Board.

Still, you've changed your tune. Back in 2024, you were furious. How dare Sleepy Joe let Bibi get away with killing kiddies, you said. The Americans should put him in a nursing home.

So who's gonna run the country? We asked.

Why, DL, of course.

Oh? We said. He just told Bibi to turn Gaza into a car park.

So? You said. They'll need somewhere to park their cars.

You know DL's gonna start a new endless war the first chance he gets, right?

Never, you said, he's a peacemaker. He'll get the Nobel Prize.

I see, we said. If that happens, I'll leave the board for good. You?

And with that, you were gone - poof! Into the dark of night.

His grandfathers company that was inherited by his father and then him and will go to his kids (who are company executives) hopefully in the near future if he doesn't go broke or get sued out of existance before. Hopefully soon.

Hardly a switcheroo. Eric, Donnie and Jared have been chatting to the Kazakhs over in the Gulf for years. Jared and Steve visited Kazakhstan right before the deal was done.

And whenever they're involved, you know something's up.

This isn't a policy move, it's a personal deal. That's how the Trump administration operates, as every schoolboy knows.

You inflict tariffs or some other form of pain, send your boys over and clean up, but do you know?

Trump and his family are no more or less corrupt than they were 25 yearsd ago. Trump was corrupt well before he ever ran for political office and all the Republicans knew this from day 1 or maybe day zero. It just never mattered to them. The rape allogations were all known years before he ran for office, the sexual assaults all existed before he ran for office, his epstine connection was before, His bankrupsies, his accusation about not paying contractors, his adverse court ruling over his fake university and associated fines, his $2million fine for ripping off 8 seperate charities.

Yes Trump was a fully documented and well known scumbag well before he ever ran for office.

A woman donated $1 million to Trump's super PAC. Three weeks later, her son a convicted tax criminal was pardoned. His pardon application literally mentioned her donation.
Her name is Elizabeth Fago. Her son, Paul Walczak, had pleaded guilty to federal tax crimes. The pardon application filed on his behalf explicitly cited his mother's million-dollar donation to MAGA Inc. as a reason he deserved clemency. Trump signed the pardon. Walczak walked free and was relieved of more than $4 million in restitution he owed.
That is one entry on a donor list of 58 people who gave a million dollars or more.
MAGA Inc., Trump's super PAC, has now raised over $305 million since the 2024 election five times more than any presidential super PAC in history at this stage. The Brennan Center called it "completely unprecedented." Ninety-six percent of it came from donors giving $1 million or more. Sixty-two percent from those giving $5 million or more. This is not a grassroots operation. It is a pay-window.
Here's what the donor list actually shows.
Crypto. com's parent company, Foris Dax, gave $30 million — while it was under SEC investigation for allegedly trading unregistered securities. The SEC investigation was quietly dropped in March 2025, two months after the donation.
The Winklevoss twins gave $1 million — also while their crypto platform Gemini was under SEC investigation. That investigation was dropped in February 2025.
Energy Transfer, the Texas pipeline company, and its CEO Kelcy Warren gave a combined $25 million — while Energy Transfer was actively suing a federal regulatory agency in court.
OpenAI President Greg Brockman and his wife gave $25 million — as the Trump administration was actively shaping AI policy in Silicon Valley's favor.
Then there are the appointments. Benjamin Landa gave $5 million then became Trump's ambassador to Hungary. Kelly Loeffler and her husband gave $5 million she now runs the Small Business Administration. Warren Stephens gave $2 million now ambassador to the United Kingdom. Jared Isaacman gave $2 million now NASA administrator.
And Isabela Herrera, a 25-year-old self-employed financial consultant whose only prior political donation was $20 to Pete Buttigieg in 2020, somehow contributed $3.5 million to MAGA Inc. Her father a Venezuelan billionaire facing federal bribery charges was pardoned by Trump in January 2026. Campaign Legal Center has filed a formal complaint with the FEC alleging she was a straw donor for her father.
This is not dark money. This is public record.
Every dollar, every favor, every pardon. Filed with the FEC. Sitting in plain sight.

A federal lawsuit filed just days before Trump’s planned UFC event at the White House is asking a court to stop the event immediately, calling the scheme “deeply corrupt” and accusing Trump of using public property to enrich allies and political supporters.
The lawsuit argues: “The event, billed as ‘UFC Freedom 250,’ is being organized by the UFC, whose chief executive, Dana White, is a close friend and ally of the President. The President is giving White and his company what none have enjoyed before: unfettered access to the White House and Lincoln Memorial to stage a private, for-profit sports event.”
The suit points to reports that UFC VIP packages are being sold for between $1 million and $1.5 million per person and notes that sponsors are “clambering over each other to see their brands plastered adjacent to the Executive Residence and Reflecting Pool.”
The lawsuit also highlights the role of Paramount Skydance, stating: “No American will be able to take in this ‘celebration of America’ without first paying $8.99 plus tax for a Paramount Plus streaming subscription.”
Plaintiffs further question whether the event is really a celebration of America or a tribute to Trump himself, noting it coincides with Trump’s 80th birthday. The suit even warns Trump may seek to keep parts of the massive structure on White House grounds permanently, citing his own comments comparing it to the Eiffel Tower.
Attorney Brendan Ballou told MeidasTouch: “The basic question we need to ask as a country is whether we want to use our most sacred national monuments to enrich the President and his allies. We think the question answers itself.”
The lawsuit seeks an emergency court order to stop the event before it takes place

trump will get the  1 --> $1.5M tickets AND the $9 viewing fee

P resident Donald Trump has quietly commuted the sentence of a Florida health care executive convicted of leading a Medicare fraud scheme to pilfer $205 million from the program through false means — even as the GOP claims that their massive cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and other programs are aimed at weeding out “waste, fraud and abuse.”
Last Wednesday, Trump granted clemency to two dozen people, including Lawrence Duran, who was 2011 convicted in (https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/owner-miami-area-mental-health-company-sentenced-50-years-prison-orchestrating-205-million) for defrauding Medicare and money laundering, among other charges.
Duran, who owned a mental health care company with across Florida seven locations (https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article307566596.html), and his girlfriend received $87 million from the scheme.
As the Miami Herald (https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article3208683.html) points out, this was, at the time, the largest therapy-related Medicare fraud scheme in history, with hundreds of thousands of false claims.
Duran was sentenced to 50 years in prison, and he and other collaborators were ordered to pay $87 million in restitution.

That's okay, Sprint. DL's pardon wipes out his friend's financial restitution.

Look, it's only $87 mil. DOGE, if you recall, saved the taxpayers $200 mil.

DL's been cutting costs from day one. As a businessman, he got all his projects done on time and under budget. Remember, he got erected on a program to cut waste and mismanagement, eradicate incompetence and corruption.

No one has a better record on this than DL. After forgiving his friend's debt, that leaves $113 mil to spend on stuff the taxpayers want.

Imagine, they could fund all sorts of things. Endless wars, compensation for the Jan 6 patriots, funding for Eric and Don Jnr's foreign mining deals, fabulous new presidential ballrooms, restitution for all the big fella's pain and suffering, anything. The sky's the limit, Sprint.

We will make America great again, no?

The Trump family is turning the White House into a revenue stream. Just weeks before hosting a UFC championship fight on the White House lawn, the family's licensing operation rolled out a line of commemorative gold coins tied to the event, with prices reaching nearly $12,000 per coin. The coins feature Trump's image alongside UFC chairman Dana White and are being sold through RealTrumpCoins. com, a site managed through a licensing arrangement with the Trump Organization, which is run by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
The UFC "Freedom 250" event is scheduled for June 14 on the White House grounds, and the coin sales launched just ahead of it. The priciest offering is a one-ounce gold coin certified by NGC, marketed as a collector's piece commemorating what the site calls the first-ever championship fight hosted at the White House.
That's not the only place the family business is collecting checks. A separate report revealed that FIFA, the global governing body of soccer, has been renting office space on the 17th floor of Trump Tower for the past year, with rent going directly to the Trump family business. The space has reportedly sat nearly empty. FIFA president Gianni Infantino has made cultivating closeness with Trump a visible priority, showering him with praise and making repeated trips to Mar-a-Lago and other Trump properties. The World Cup kicks off June 11, just days after the FIFA lease arrangement became public.
The overlap between Trump's official duties and his family's financial interests has never been more visible. A sitting president is hosting a major sporting event on federal property while his sons sell $12,000 coins commemorating it. A global soccer federation is paying rent to that same president's business in the lead-up to the biggest tournament in the sport. These are not coincidences. They are a pattern of profit-seeking that would have triggered wall-to-wall outrage under any other administration.

They all do it, Sprint. They're all as bad as each other.

Hunter got $50,000 a month from Burisma, no?

At 10% to the big guy, that's $6000 a year to Sleepy Joe.

DEEP STATE !!!
