Don Jr. & Eric have investments in data centers and AI infrastructure. Don. Jr's firm 1789 Capital also has shares in tech companies working on AI. Donald's own stock portfolio itself is heavily invested in Big Tech. When Trump calls reasonable AI safety concerns a "hoax," follow the money.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

And where's the over $13 billion in oil revenue they collected? Official transparency trackers in Caracas show that only about $300 million (roughly 2%) has actually reached the Venezuelan economy, leaving the rest unaccounted for or held in dispute.

You and I paying increased prices due to tariffs then corporations getting the refund is “trickle up economics.” Trump has invented even worse economic policies than Reagan.

Tariff refunds split companies as consumers demand share of $166B
Some firms say they will share a portion of the rebate from the Supreme Court striking down Trump's tariffs earlier this year.

Let me get this straight. Henrico County has 37 data centers. Its plan for the resulting 25% electric hike? An email begging teachers to turn off the lights and unplug the single $150 space heater under their desk. 66,000 to 1. Are you fucking kidding me?
Screenshot of a 404 Media news article headlined "County With 37 Data Centers Asks Schools to 'Conserve Electricity,'" by Matthew Gault, dated June 30, 2026. The standfirst reads that Henrico County, a major Virginia data center hub, expects a 25% rise in electricity costs next year and advised workers to close the blinds and turn off their computers to make up for it.

The day before Trump paused tariffs and sent the S&P 500 up 9.5%, his investment accounts bought 327 stocks worth $12.8 million. It was one of the biggest one-day market rallies in history. The trades were disclosed over a year late. The penalty was $200. Parking tickets cost more than that.
