Should I make a new thread with this?
"Capital One says it closed Trump Organization's accounts after anti-money-laundering review
Disclosure from 2021 investigation marks first time a bank has formally tied money-laundering concerns to Donald Trump"

Of course they would say this, they are trying to get the case dismissed.
"Capital One has never accused the Trump Organization of money laundering."
They want it to seem like it could be true but won't actually accuse him of it because they know it's not true.

Trump just does it out loud now:
"For years, Truth Social was President Trump's money-losing megaphone.
Now his company is charging Wall Street clients up to $1.2 million a year for a license giving a split-second edge on posts that can, and frequently do, jolt global markets, Axios' Dan Primack and Zachary Basu write.
Truth API, as the data feed is branded, is the logical endpoint of that profiteering: the presidency's unrivaled power to move markets, packaged and sold as a subscription.
Hours after Truth API launched, Trump announced he'd canceled massive planned strikes on Iran. Oil prices fell nearly 5% when markets reopened.
A March 23 post postponing strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure sent Brent crude tumbling nearly 11%.
Trump's March 2025 announcement of a U.S. crypto reserve drove XRP up 27% and added roughly $300 billion to the global crypto market.
His threat last October to impose massive new tariffs on China sent the S&P 500 down 2.7%.
How it works: The real-time feed from Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) went live Saturday, delivering Truth Social posts directly to institutional clients in milliseconds.
A source familiar with the matter tells Axios that access to the platform's 10 top-trending accounts costs $60,000 to $100,000 per month. Customers seeking a broader range of accounts could pay more.
At least five high-frequency trading firms have signed up, according to The Wall Street Journal. Trump Media says customers also include financial news organizations.
Follow the money: Trump Media is publicly traded, with Trump as its dominant shareholder. He is the sole beneficiary of a revocable trust that owns 41.5% of the company. Donald Trump Jr., the trust's sole trustee, controls the shares.
Trump Media generated just $871,000 in revenue during the first quarter of 2026 and $3.68 million in all of 2025.
Its shares have risen 7% since the eve of the API announcement, adding nearly $77 million to the paper value of Trump's stake.
Between the lines: Customers are buying a fractions-of-a-second advantage.
Truth API gives trading algorithms a direct, machine-readable feed they can act on before most investors receive a push alert or refresh their screens."
How about plug in another lecture here on the virtue of MAGA values.

What Might Happen to Trump's Ill-Gotten Gains - The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/08/reclaim-wealth-trump-corruption/688435/
"Americans are not accustomed to learning lessons about democracy from Nigeria, Peru, or the Philippines. That disregard may soon change. Those countries offer examples of what it looks like to reclaim stolen or swindled wealth from fallen authoritarian rulers. Done right, this work can deliver justice and strengthen democratic institutions for the long run. But cleaning up after a corrupt regime also comes with serious challenges and hazards".……[PAY WALLED]

Trump is even more corrupt and lawless than "the system,"which is why he operates outside of it, so the "issue" is always with Trump.

For years, Trump and right-wing media have been asking, “Where’s Hunter? Where’s Hunter?” Well, here I am. Clear, strong, seven years sober, and with a lot to say.
