"If Aqua 1 Foundation has been working with World Liberty Financial since the president’s primary crypto venture launched in September 2024, there’s little to no evidence of the relationship in the public record. Trump did travel to the UAE in May 2025, where he announced “over $200 billion in commercial deals between the United States and the United Arab Emirates.” Two weeks later, someone began registering websites and social media accounts for Aqua 1 Foundation.

The president’s latest crypto benefactors, whoever they turn out to be, stand to gain enormously from their $100 million investment. Until now, the $WLFI token has only been a “governance token,” granting its holders the right to vote on proposed changes to the World Liberty Financial platform. But the token itself has been nontransferrable—meaning that anyone buying it was putting money into a token that couldn’t be sold or moved. That’s about to change. World Liberty Financial recently put out a vote to “unlock” $WLFI tokens, allowing them to be moved between wallets—a change that won the fulsome support from the current holders of $WLFI. Soon, $WLFI will be tradable on public markets, and its early backers will be able to cash out—ensuring, in turn, that the most flagrantly corrupt president in American history will once again line his pockets."

"President Donald Trump took to social media Monday night to promote a limited edition, self-branded fragrance in a bottle topped with a gold statuette of a generic man in a suit, called “Victory 45-47.”

“For Patriots who never back down, like President Trump. This scent is your rallying cry in a bottle,” reads the advertising copy for both a men’s cologne and a women’s perfume sold under the same name.

Trump launched the scents with an announcement on Truth Social, wedged between posts boasting about U.S. tariff revenue and touting the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Hours later, Trump posted: “We brought respect and dignity back.”

“Trump Fragrances are here. They’re called ‘Victory 45-47’ because they’re all about Winning, Strength, and Success,” wrote the president. “Get yourself a bottle, and don’t forget to get one for your loved ones too. Enjoy, have fun, and keep winning!”

Victory 45-47 costs a whopping $249 for 3.3 fluid ounces. Roughly the same quantity of Chanel No. 5 retails for $176.

Last month, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said it was “absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency.”

Trump’s net worth was estimated at $5.1 billion in March, a full $1.2 billion more than the year before, according to Forbes. It is the highest Trump’s net worth has ever been in the magazine’s rankings. “It’s quite a comeback for the former president, who more than doubled his net worth in a year,” wrote Forbes senior editor Dan Alexander in March. “It pays to be king.” (Just recently, Trump attacked Forbes and Alexander in a Truth Social post.)"

🚨Trump's policies have increased uncertainty, reduced trade, & introduced tariffs that hurt bus' reliant on imports, but the impact has been mitigated bc he walked back many of his steepest tariffs. Extending tax cuts, not to significantly improve the economy. #Deporations will⬆️inflation.

The Atlantic · Trump’s Only-Okay EconomyBy James Surowiecki

Trump’s “Tariff Talks” are all fake.

He's delegated negotiations to Bessent, Lutnick & Greer *have little actual authority -often working at cross purposes.

"Result has been: a convoluted process with little progress & no end in sight."

We’re all just part of his sick reality show, but then most of us knew this from episode 1. We must end episode 2 before it’s too late to save democracy, our livelihoods, & lives.

And just like that

20,000 Wyomingites will be losing their only healthcare insurance option.

Not that it's going to keep these clowns up at night.

Senator John Barraso (R) - Aye
Senator Cynthia Lummis (R) - Aye
Representative Harriet Hageman (R) - Aye

So much disgust with my "representatives" right now.

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations

"A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirements, experts say. "

"Aqua 1 Foundation, a United Arab Emirates-based crypto fund, has spent $100 million to acquire WLFI tokens (tokens issued by the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial Project) and cultivate a close relationship with the Trumps. They have just surpassed shady crypto billionaire Justin Sun and his $75 million investment to become the single largest holder of WLFI tokens. World Liberty also profited massively last month from a deal in which Emirati investment firm MGX used the company’s USD1 stablecoin to perform a $2 billion investment into Binance [I83]. In a press release, Aqua 1 claimed that they and World Liberty would work closely to “jointly identify and nurture high-potential blockchain projects”, and said that World Liberty “plans to support the launch of Aqua 1’s Aqua Fund — a UAE-domiciled investment fund ... dedicated to accelerating the Middle East’s digital economy transformation”. For all Trump likes to talk about “America First” crypto projects, his businesses are looking very UAE-first."
