A fmr WH adviser to #Trump 🤣, Kushner stepped away from politics after Trump's term ended in 2021 & founded Miami-based private equity firm Affinity Partners.

#SaudiArabia government's Public Investment Fund #PFI invested $2B in #JaredKushner's firm, 6 months after #Kushner left the White House.

Paul Booth, formerly chair of SABIC UK Petrochemicals & Steve Gibson, owner of Middlesbrough football club, told the FT the public should have a greater share of the Teesworks regeneration project chaired by Tory Mayor Ben Houchen.

They estimated that the public purse would lose £350m-£550m in rent over the next 10 to 12 years due to Houchen’s gifting the stake held by two local businessmen to 90 per cent for no cash consideration.

"IN THE FIRST WEEK OF HIS CRIMINAL TRIAL, Donald Trump raised about $5.6 million online by warning his small dollar-donors that the 'Deep State' was out to lock him up."

Trump sent out an email when jury selection began, saying Biden's attacking him, and his disciples responded by sending $1.6 million in response to the email. He took in another $1 million the rest of the week, mostly from small donors.

Amazon is filled with garbage ebooks. Here’s how they get made.

It’s partly AI, partly a get-rich-quick scheme, and entirely bad for confused consumers.

New: I talked to Trump Media investors about their shares' value getting cut in half. A tree remover in Oklahoma who bet basically his whole nest egg told me, “This isn’t just another stock … I feel like it was God Almighty that put it in my lap" https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/14/truth-social-investors-faith-trump/

"When RNC co-chair and Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump blasted out a robocall last week claiming 'massive fraud' in the 2020 election, it was a continuation of one of the great long cons in history. Four years and counting …

The Big Lie is a criminal conspiracy, a long con, a grift, and essentially a Trump family business opportunity."

Jay Kuo's commentary on how Trump's evisceration of the RNC and its subjugation to him is all about – you'll be shocked to learn – the grift. Trump and his family are and always have been all about the grift, the swag, the exploitation, the glitter, the contempt for the marks they're sucking dry in the proces.

“As you know, I love Bible. It’s my favorite book. I’ve definitely read it. My favorite part is probably the ending. How it all ends up. …

I’m doing this for the glory of God. And for pandering and mostly for money.”

#Trump selling the #christian #bible as a campaign #grift is a giant pile of #blasphemy that every believer must reconcile on #easter.

It's very possible that some #grifts go to far.

"Trump is spending a good chunk of his donations on his legal bills. The Times ran an amazing report about this on Wednesday. Of nearly $85 million in donations, almost a third, $27 million, has gone to legal bills. Hey, at least this time around, he’s apparently actually paying them.

Trump will have money. There’s no use pretending he won’t."

"But $400 sneakers and $60 Bibles are not signs of strength. They’re signs of weakness. Panic. Desperation. A guy who’ll sell anything that isn’t nailed to the floor. ...

So let’s avert our gaze from the people who’d walk across hot coals for Donald Trump (while he stood off to the side, pleading bone spurs) and think instead about the ones who are slowly peeling off."

“Today, Trump began to hawk Bibles for $59.99, plus shipping and handling, with a video message saying ‘Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country, and I truly believe we need to bring them back…. That’s why our country’s going haywire—we’ve lost religion in our country.’”

The Utter Ridiculousness of ‘

Is there any better way to celebrate the glory of the Resurrection than by helping a suspect—indicted on scores of charges—pay off his fees?

Not according to Donald , who took his broke ass to Truth Social on Tues morning to announce that supporters can purchase copies of the Christian holy book.

A video of Donald Trump selling branded bibles. No, I'm not kidding. I'm actually surprised they don't have his name plastered on them.
