I believe Xi made a deal with Trump.

Look the other way on Taiwan, and in exchange, Beijing will purchase enough Trump meme coins to make him wealthier than the CEOs who accompanied him at the summit.

One sign of a deal?

Trump said he would withhold a $14 billion arms package from Taiwan without receiving any concessions.

If Xi bribing Trump sounds implausible, consider the record.

Trump has enriched himself and his family by $4 billion in his first year back in office.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a corruption watchdog, flagged examples of Trump conflating personal business with U.S.

interests in Brazil, Indonesia, Serbia, Syria, and Vietnam.

Several months after Qatar gifted Trump a $400 million plane to replace Air Force One, Trump issued an executive order to provide Qatar a U.S.

security guarantee with conditions similar to NATO's Article 5.

Probably just a coincidence.

But wait, there's more.

Justin's son dodged an SEC lawsuit alleging securities fraud after announcing he'd purchased $75 million worth of the Trump family's World Liberty financial coins.

According to Bloomberg, 19 of the top 25 wallets that purchased Trump meme coins to secure a dinner date with the president were owned by foreign nationals.

And for those with the means to erase their criminal record, Trump reportedly commands low seven figures for a pardon.

But all of that is nothing compared to the shakedown he perpetrated on American taxpayers with a $10 billion lawsuit alleging the IRS had failed to keep private the tax returns Trump once promised to release.

This week, the DOJ announced a settlement in the form of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate Trump allies, including January 6 insurrectionists.

Of course, the real money is in market manipulation, from suspicious puts placed just before tariff announcements to oil bets made minutes before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran.

Trading on inside information is a bipartisan tradition, but Trump's transgressions are orders of magnitude more brazen and profitable than anything we've seen.

It took Nancy Pelosi four decades in Congress to amass $130 million in the stock market.
