While America Goes Broke, Trump’s Crime Family Bags Billions in the Middle East

Golf Resorts, Crypto Deals, and a Jet Gift Expose a Corrupt Regime: The Trump's stand to Make over 7 Billion from Foreign Governments This Week Alone...

The Trump Crime Family’s latest escapades in the Middle East are not just a betrayal of public trust—they’re a grotesque display of self-enrichment that spits in the face of every struggling American.

While families grapple with the fallout of Trump’s tariffs and looming Medicaid cuts, the Trump Crime Family is raking in billions through shady deals with foreign governments, leveraging the presidency as a personal ATM, including the gift of a luxury Jumbo Jet from the Qatari Royal family. This isn’t leadership; it’s a shameless grift, and the American people deserve better.

When asked about the jet (tip of the bribery iceberg) this morning, Trump lost it, referred the reporter to a Sam Sneed gold story, then said she should be ashamed of asking him about a 400 million dollar bribe in the form of a free jet and said he’s taking it so F*** You, eseentially.

(He looks especially Jaundiced today…)

The Middle East Grift: A Billion-Dollar Haul

Let’s lay out the sordid details of Trump’s Middle East ventures, which scream corruption louder than a foghorn at a funeral:

• Qatar’s Golf Resort and Villas: Trump partnered with Qatari Diar, a firm owned by Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, for the Trump International Golf Club & Villas in Simaisma. This oceanfront project boasts an 18-hole golf course, a clubhouse, and Trump-branded villas. Qatar, a U.S. ally hosting a major military base, has every incentive to cozy up to Trump—especially when his foreign policy decisions could impact their interests. This reeks of a quid pro quo, where business deals buy diplomatic favors. (6.3 Billion

  

  )

• Dubai’s Luxury Tower: In Dubai, the Trump Organization is behind the 80-story Trump International Hotel and Tower, a project with Dar Global and DAMAC Properties. It’s set to include the highest outdoor pool in the world, with Trump pocketing around $10 million a year in branding fees. Buyers can even pay with cryptocurrency, tying this venture to Trump’s shady crypto schemes. The involvement of foreign entities so close to government interests raises red flags about influence peddling.

• World Liberty Financial’s Crypto Cash Grab: The Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, has raised over $500 million, with Middle Eastern firms like DWF Labs tossing in $25 million for tokens. Eric Trump unveiled a $2 billion crypto deal with Binance in Dubai on May 1, 2025, while the SEC conveniently paused crypto investigations since Trump took office. Lawmakers call this a “corruption” hub, and they’re right—Trump’s using his position to shield his family’s financial schemes, all while Middle Eastern investors gain access to the President’s ear.

• Qatar’s $400 Million Jet Gift: The Qatari Royal Family is set to gift Trump a $400 million Boeing 747-8, dubbed a “flying palace,” initially meant for Air Force One but now slated for his presidential library.

  

  Trump’s already toured it, gloating on social media about the “transparent” deal. Transparent? It’s a blatant bribe, a $400 million thank-you note from a foreign government, potentially securing favorable U.S. policies in return

  

  These deals aren’t just business—they’re a calculated exploitation of the presidency. Qatar and the UAE aren’t charities; they’re investing in Trump to secure influence, whether it’s military support or trade leniency. This is pay-for-play on steroids, with the Trump family laughing all the way to the bank.

Illegal and Unethical: A Constitutional Betrayal

The U.S. Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9, Clause 8) forbids federal officials from accepting gifts or benefits from foreign states without congressional consent. Trump’s actions—accepting a $400 million jet, partnering with government-linked firms like Qatari Diar, and pocketing millions from foreign deals—violate this clause in broad daylight. There’s no record of congressional approval for the jet, and the Trump Organization’s claim of “no new transactions with foreign governments” is a laughable lie when they’re openly partnering with Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund.

Experts like Zephyr Teachout have sounded the alarm: these deals could sway U.S. policy, especially with Qatar hosting a key military base. If Trump prioritizes his wallet over national interest, what’s to stop him from compromising American security for a few more villas? This isn’t just unethical—it’s a betrayal of the oath he swore to uphold the Constitution.

A History of Emoluments Crimes

This isn’t Trump’s first rodeo. During his first term, the Trump family turned the presidency into a cash cow:

• Foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia and China, booked rooms at Trump hotels, funneling money directly to the family while seeking policy favors (The Washington Post, 2019).

• Licensing deals in Turkey and the Philippines raised conflict-of-interest concerns, with foreign leaders knowing a Trump Tower deal could buy goodwill (Reuters, 2020).

• Jared Kushner’s $2 billion Saudi investment post-White House showed the family’s willingness to cash in on political ties (Newsweek, 2025).

These weren’t accidents—they were a blueprint. The Trump Crime Family has perfected the art of grifting, and now they’re back, bolder than ever, with Middle Eastern deals that dwarf their past schemes.

Billions for Trump, Breadcrumbs for Americans

While Trump and his cronies feast on billions, the American people are left to starve. Reports estimate the Trump family has raked in billions in the first few months of 2025—potentially $1 billion a month—through crypto ventures and Middle East deals (Axios, 2025; CBS News, 2025). Meanwhile, Trump’s tariffs are bleeding American families dry, costing them $3,100 to $4,900 a year (Al Jazeera, 2025). And as if that weren’t enough, Trump’s gearing up to slash Medicaid and SNAP, cutting incomes for the bottom 60% by $1,870 annually, all to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy (CBPP, 2025).

This is the Trump playbook: enrich himself and his loyal friends while everyday Americans go broke. The White House’s claim of saving families $11,000 (White House, 2025) is a cruel joke when independent analyses show the opposite. Trump’s not saving America—he’s selling it to the highest bidder.

The Verdict: A Presidency for Sale

Trump’s Middle East dealings are a glaring example of the presidency being used as a tool for personal enrichment. The jet gift, the golf resorts, the crypto millions—they’re not just business deals; they’re payments for access, influence, and policy shifts. The Trump Crime Family’s billion-dollar haul in 2025 is a slap in the face to every American struggling under his policies. This isn’t leadership; it’s looting. And it’s high time the American people demand accountability for a presidency that’s been turned into a family business—one that’s thriving while the nation suffers.
