Enforce the Law — No One in Public Office Is Above It

The law must be enforced. That means investigating and prosecuting conflicts of interest when elected officials use public office to enrich themselves — no exceptions, no matter how powerful the person. Trump's own financial disclosure shows he made over $2 billion in the first year of his second term, including $635 million from a meme coin and a crypto deal where $500 million in Emirati money flowed to his company, the UAE got access to American AI chips, and a convicted crypto kingpin walked free with a presidential pardon. Senator Elizabeth Warren called it "brazen crypto corruption." She's right. This isn't a partisan issue — it's a rule-of-law issue. Transparency International recorded the US's lowest corruption perception score since 2012 last year. Experts are warning of "growing risk of state capture." When the presidency becomes a revenue stream and pardons appear to be part of the deal, the legal and oversight mechanisms that exist must be used. I want to see you demand a full, independent investigation into these transactions and push for legislation that closes the loopholes letting this happen.
