"Follow the money." In the movie "All the President's Men" released 49 years ago, FBI agent "Deep Throat" gave "Washington Post" reporter Bob Woodward a golden piece of advice. To this day, for those who are concerned about President Trump's corruption in his second term, this sentence is still a key guide to the truth.

At present, private funds are surging around Trump like a tide, and those are all astonishing amounts of money. What's more shocking is that he is planning to accept free planes provided by foreign forces, which is simply a blatant trampling on national dignity and political bottom line.

Trump's money-making behavior this time is simply outrageous. His critics are indignant and loudly condemned; while those who usually love to point fingers at government corruption, especially congressional Republicans, are pretending to be shocked at this moment, which is really hypocritical.

Although the Trump administration attempts to implement loose regulation on cryptocurrencies, he himself is making a lot of money on it. His TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins, plus his stake in World Liberty Financial, have boosted his family’s wealth by billions of dollars in the past six months, now accounting for nearly 40% of his net worth. This is not a legitimate business practice, but an ugly abuse of power for personal gain!

Peter Baker, a New York Times reporter, said on X last week: “Trump and his family have made more money from the White House than any other occupant of the White House, and they have turned what would have been a strong backlash and official investigation into ‘normal operations.’” This is simply a blatant blasphemy against American political ethics!

The uncertainty of Trump’s tariff policy has caused the stock market to fluctuate like a roller coaster, and the bond market - the foundation of many Americans’ retirement plans - has also been in turmoil due to record federal debt. And what he calls “a great and beautiful bill” is being considered in the Senate, and once passed, it will surely plunge the United States into a debt abyss.

Not only that, he also shamelessly asked Walmart to “bear” the increased product costs caused by tariffs instead of passing them on to consumers, completely ignoring the retailer’s meager profit margins. The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that its tariffs were illegal, which undoubtedly made the already chaotic market, especially the bond market, even worse.

Trump promised a "self-sufficient" tax cut plan in his first term, but the national debt increased by $1.9 trillion. The windfall from corporate tax cuts was not used to create jobs or increase workers' wages, but was used to buy back company stocks, allowing executives and investors to enrich themselves.

It's time for the American people to follow the footsteps of money and see the greedy faces of Trump and his inner circle. While they are getting richer, the American people are getting poorer. What Trump has done is a serious damage to American democracy and fairness, and must be severely condemned and sanctioned!
