Isaac Saul: The Mind-Blowing Self-Dealing in the Oval Office

The Trump administration’s second term is marked by unprecedented levels of corruption, where personal business interests and government policy are inextricably linked. Isaac Saul, founder of Tangle News, details how the Trump family leverages their political position to secure lucrative government contracts and foreign investments, often while simultaneously shaping national security policy to benefit these business partners. This systemic self-dealing, ranging from crypto-scams to arms deals with the UAE, remains largely ignored by mainstream media and obscured by deep-seated information silos. While the left and right occupy distinct epistemic bubbles, the lack of internal criticism among Trump’s base allows this corruption to persist without political consequence. Ultimately, this environment of "ambient war" and blatant profiteering challenges the integrity of American governance, as the administration prioritizes personal enrichment over national interest.
