Yeah, look, I mean, the one to me that is probably the most offensive is just the whole of the cryptocurrency stuff, which is Trump launched a literal meme coin that had zero value with his name as the name of the coin and basically rug pulled a bunch of investors leading up to his inauguration and then the days after his election.

And now he's soliciting dinners at the White House, at Mar-a-Lago, at his properties across the country to people who buy the most amount of coin of his Trump meme coin, which again has no inherent value.

It's just basically this social hype cryptocurrency.

And he's just out there advertising it and flaunting it.

And the people who are paying money to get to those dinners are not just random American fans of his.

They are sometimes foreign dignitaries.

They are people

with associations, with governments who we're making foreign policy around.

They are people in industries that Trump is responsible for regulating.

I mean, the overtness of it is so insane.

It really is genuinely hard to fathom.

And I don't mean to be hyperbolic.

I am somebody, like I said, I don't have Trump derangement syndrome.

I spent the four years of the Biden administration chasing the Hunter Biden story, which I thought there was a lot of smoke around

and some very weird stuff happening there that was worth investigating.

But what we're seeing now is just a waterfall, unlike anything I can really comprehend.

And then I'd say second to the cryptocurrency is the pardons.

I mean, we now have what I called in this piece, a pardon industry.

There are people around Trump who are taking money to,

to literally go to him and say, hey, we got to pardon this guy who paid me a million dollar fee and donated to your campaign and wants to get out of prison for Medicare fraud or for defrauding donors when he was a member of Congress.
