He renamed an airport and added a clause that any biographical details about him at the airport must be approved by his family and the airport must use Trump approved suppliers for merchandise.

Definitely dumb, disgusting, and egotistical. Not sure if it's corrupt. Very dictator-adjacent. Although if he's getting kickbacks from the suppliers, then it would definitely be corrupt.

Even if there was a legit way to do it, you know Trump probably chose the corrupt way.
 
In what would've been a major scandal if it weren't for so much competition in this field: now he's suing the new York times... For their reporting... On the Qatar-gifted plane.

No, not even because they wrote about political influence it gives qatar. It's about the safety of that thing. It was calculated that the required modifications to ensure it's fit for security and anti spy measurements would take two years. Trump wants it done in less than a year, so the essentials were cut (but the enormous luxuries weren't).
Of course, with Iran threatening to kill him (according to Israel, that is), those essentials were... Well... Essential. So that won't fly.

So why the hell sue? If anything, the NY times looks more after the safety of the president than his own staff. Perhaps I'm missing relevant context here, but aside pettiness I can't think of a reason.

Once again, if anybody wants to know why it is a bad idea to have a fraudster name his own personal defense attorney as the (acting) Attorney General, this is a good read:

The full opinion by the judge, definitely worth a read:

Cue Foxi coming in and saying that the judge is corrupt and what they did was completely legit.

Not sure if this falls under corruption or not, but it's definitely doing what they can to skirt justice in the eyes of the world. Rubio is saying that the US will be doing what they can to dismantle the International Criminal Court. They can't legally do that, but they have some actions which would cripple it a bit. All this is due to the ICC coming out and putting an arrest warrant on Netanyahu's head, for all the genocide he just loves involving himself in. I'm positive they're pissing themselves at the thought that the ICC could be coming after them for their illegal wars as well.

Bob Menendez would disagree with you from his jail cell if he could.

George Santos would also disagree, but then Trump pardoned him despite the fact he was caught red handed. Go figure....

His whataboutism failed again

Wasn't quite whataboutism because he didn't specify any side, and he's not wrong that there are far too many politicians that DON'T get arrested for blatant crimes.

But People lower on the power scale do go to jail, they just have to be egregiously blatant. Kind of like stealing billions in a rug pull from supporters or pumping up stocks they own by outright saying buy a stock while providing a stock ticket name.

I've seen this a lot from MAGA recently where they want to say both sides are corrupt, so what Trump does is normal/expected. They don't want to admit how insane the scale and openness of the corruption is with Trump, his family, and his cronies.
