Below are the four reasons for Landsman’s claim. The following are all direct quotes from the Congressman.
1. The $TRUMP coin. Think of it like a Swiss bank account. People are depositing money. We don’t know who or what amount, but it’s a ton of money. He’s making an absurd amount of money.
2. Real estate investments. The Trump family is using the presidency to get money for their businesses. For example, investors in Saudi Arabia gave something like $1 billion to a Trump hotel in Dubai.
3. Bribe plane. The Qataris gave the president a $400 million plane. It will take about $1 billion and three years to fix this plane. It’s a boondoggle and it’s expensive for taxpayers.
4. Elon Musk and billionaire donors. They gave the president and Republicans in Congress hundreds of millions of dollars for their campaigns. Those donations bought them access to power, our data systems, and to more federal contracts.
Without listing other ethically challenged presidents — Nixon, Harding, etc. — to help validate his claim that Trump is the “most” corrupt, Landsman concludes: “This is pure corruption and it has to end. We need bipartisan legislation banning all of this.”
