What's more impressive is not that they're getting even richer. It's the absurd conflict of interest in every single thing they do and apparently nothing lands them in jail. Even breaking the law seems to be ok.

The conviction that the world, and therefore man too, is something which really ought not to exist is in fact calculated to instill in us indulgence towards one another: for what can be expected of beings placed in such a situation as we are? From this point of view one might indeed consider that the appropriate form of address between man and man ought to be, not monsieur, sir, but fellow sufferer, compagnon de misères. However strange this may sound it corresponds to the nature of the case, makes us see other men in a true light and reminds us of what are the most necessary of all things: tolerance, patience, forbearance and charity, which each of us needs and which each of us therefore owes.

It turns out our entire constitution was really a list of gentleman's rules with no actual enforcement mechanism or actual dictated punishments and banned actions if the same political party gets enough representation in congress and has the president at the same time. It's pathetic and broken.

tldr; Barron Trump, the youngest son of Donald Trump, reportedly earned nearly $40 million from his involvement in the Trump family's cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial. Launched in September 2024, the venture sold $550 million worth of tokens, with Barron named as a 'web3 ambassador' and cofounder. Financial disclosures suggest Barron held a 7.5% stake, similar to his older siblings. At age 19, Barron has already amassed significant wealth, joining the ranks of presidential relatives benefiting from proximity to power.

Why this is being reported as a win is astounding.
We openly scammed you and profited, thank you for participating in juniors ritual to scummy power.
Now that he has achieved the scummy title of scam lord, we should all provide applause.
Genuinely though all he's done is grift his own nation, so is that what we're meant to be proud of and encouraged to do?
Feels like some surreal life's a stage and we're the audience, they're the puppets but who's pulling the strings? Baron is not the one who lead this project, his face was just on it 'ambassador' lol.

I'm guessing the $TRUMP family moves themselves and most of their shenanigans out of the country once we get King Don out of office.
Not only is this going to be one of the best known abuses of political office in the entire history of the USA, they're screwing everybody on every front that they possibly can.
