People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true. I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin. Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions. Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25. Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha. So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

Part 2: The New US Dollar: The One That Epstein Built Full article is up on my substack (link in bio)

Tether is running the same playbook as a corrupt central bank, except a central bank has oversight and Tether has a PO box in the British Virgin Islands, predators cofounding it and scammers running it. Here is how a corrupt central bank works. You issue the currency --> collect real assets as reserves --> skim the interest off the top --> convert the profits into things that hold value such as gold, land, commodities, all before the currency you are issuing falls apart. And you know it is going to fall apart because you are helping it fall apart. But by the time everyone else figures it out, you have already moved the real wealth somewhere safe. That is exactly what Tether is doing. They issue a digital dollar. You give them a real dollar, they give you a token. They take your dollar, park it in Treasury bills, and keep the interest made. They made $13 billion last year. edThen they took that profit and convert it into $8.7 billion in physical gold, 210,000 hectares of farmland in South America, the country's only fertilizer producer, AI data centers, satellites, and humanoid robots. They are selling you a dollar while they stockpile gold. So, they do not trust the very thing they are selling you and that should tell you everything. It gets worse because a weaker dollar actually makes them richer. When the dollar falls, more people in emerging markets buy stablecoins because their local currencies are collapsing even faster, so the user base grows. When the dollar falls, gold goes up. So their $8.7 billion in gold appreciates. When the dollar falls, food prices spike. So their farmland and fertilizer monopoly become worth more. They are making money from the decline on every side of this trade simultaneously. The GENIUS Act, that Lutnick and Hines wrote, requires every stablecoin to hold reserves in US Treasuries. The government has to keep issuing debt because it is running record deficits, and it has to keep paying interest on that debt. So Tether is essentially a toll booth sitting on government borrowing that cannot be turned off. The worse the fiscal situation gets, the busier the toll booth gets. And while corrupt, the more debt they hold, the less likely the DOJ will probe. And if the dollar truly crashes one day? They do not care. By then they have already converted billions in digital dollar profits into gold, land, food, and infrastructure that holds value no matter what happens to any currency. The stablecoin was never their end goal, it's just the machine they used to extract real wealth knowing the crash is coming. Tether has never been independently audited. It was co-founded by a man who was Epstein's crypto advisor for 8 years. Four men own 86 percent of it. The CFTC caught them lying about their reserves. The UN has linked them to over $17 billion in organized crime. And this administration just handed them the legal right to issue America's digital currency while the Lutnick's family holds their money and the Treasury Secretary sits on the Epstein banking records that would tell us where all of this started. Okay. This is not a fintech company, Tether is acting like a corrupt central bank with no regulation, no borders, and no one watching because the people watching are in on it. Stay tuned for what they are building....
