Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.

In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.

A massive percentage came from foreigners.

It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.

But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Financially insane not to buy one!

A hero. Salk saved more lives than we can imagine with his ingenuity.

Political cartoon by Horsey, ©2025, The Seattle Times. It shows a map of the Trump White House Redevelopment Plan, with the various buildings labeled: Trump Ballroom & Conference Center (former East Wing); Epstein Porch (former Truman Balcony); Trump products retail store (sneakers, steaks, Bibles, bitcoin, etc.); Monumental Trump Statue; South Lawn Golf Course; Trump Casino (former residence); Underground immigrant detention facility; Throne Room (former Oval Office); Rose Garden Club (billionaires only!); West Wing Office of Propaganda & Mendacity; All-you-can-eat food court; Secret entrance to Stephen Miller's Reichsbunker

Another great cartoon about the Grifter In Chief.

Yep, that's coming soon. Along with the great leader's addition to Mt Rushmore.

When all those billionaires get nervous and decide they want to grab their "unrealised gains" crypto is gonna crash hard!

Yep that one is the Nazi skull. If you have a tattoo of that on your skin you are either a Nazi or so stupid that you shouldn't be running for politics.

I recall when Mitt Romney was running for President his tax returns showed total 13 percent. He actually got quite a lot of credit because that is considered quite high for a rich person.

If only the voters had listened to those that served in Trump's first administration.

I'm waiting for the sapphire kidney

Can't wait for Infowars to turn up at the Pentagon and discover it doesn't really exist and Pete Hegseth is a 'crisis actor'.

Sadly the Loch Ness Monster is outside US juridstiction. Big Foot however....

The truth is, of course, that they don't really care about saving money or reducing the deficit. Firing government employees is pure political spectacle and an effort to 'get one over' on their perceived opponents.

And a note to Mount Rushmore; he's coming for you next!

I've been searching for the right word to describe this. 'Tacky' isn't quite right. I think 'gaudy' hits the nail on the head (to use a construction-based metaphor).

Mount Rushmore is next!

Model 2, Roadster, Semi cheaper than rail, Hyperloop an air hockey table in a vacuum, Cybertruck costs $40K and goes 500 miles on a charge, Nazi salute was not a Nazi salute. It really is an endless list isn't it.

Chicago - no kings

Do plastic surgeons ever say no? I mean, do they ever say 'look, I hear what you are asking for but it's a really bad idea and I'm not going to do it!' Are there no professional standards? They are medical doctors after all.

#NoKings ad for Dubuque, Iowa 🤣🔥

I was wondering about this very thing. Capt follows order to strike the vessel but isn't prepared to let survivors die in the sea. Nobody is going to have a "tragic accident" on the way home because US Navy has honor and decency. So, what follows will be interesting.

The longing for violence is palpable

Yes, he's a well-paid propagandist attacking decent folks who protest according to their conscience. The hypocrisy is overwhelming.

Yeah, I didn't realize until I saw the measles reference at the end.

That would be great. But I really doubt Stephen Miller is going to be able to learn ice dancing in time for the Superbowl.

They are just a hair smarter than their audience, and that’s why we are where we are.

I wondered about that too. But there are at least four (maybe five) ICE cars full of "agents" and just one local police car. So it's intimidating for them too. And interference by local authorities would be another excuse for a Federal crackdown. I just hope they are gathering evidence.
