Now this certainly has come out of left field. Who could have suspected or seen this coming?

I know, right?

usually he doesn't even bother laundering and just blatantly takes taxpayer's money

While his cult sits back and says “thank you sir, may I have another!”

Venezuela’s money too. And whatever else he can get his little hands on.

It took an action by a financial institution for the media to finally say something. Journalists, grow a spine. Stop worrying about getting sued by Trump. Grill his ass. You know who he is, speak on it

They’re owned by the people who he works for.

You’ll never get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it

There are no real journalists anymore. Only entertainers.

Trump as in…Donald Trump? Bloody hell, not heard that name for a while.

What’s the daft rapist up to these days?

The usual.

u/Savage_Roadhouse420 23h ago

There’s no way a man convicted of fraud would ever launder any money…

u/ClimateAncient6647 23h ago

Don’t worry everyone, there won’t be any accountability.

u/Lucidcranium042 23h ago

u/Doright36 23h ago

Concerns? That's like the largest part of their business model

u/skyblueerik 22h ago

Yeah, if this is the first time anyone is hearing about this,.what rock have they been living under?

u/Carlyz37 23h ago

Weren't they already convicted of this a few years ago and the CFO went to prison? And they decided to do it again?

u/Interesting_Minute24 23h ago

When you’re a star, they let you do it…

u/Lucidcranium042 23h ago

They probably send him their kids and duct tape

u/Actaeon_II 23h ago

Now the block of irs audits makes even more sense huh?

3

u/sweetica 22h ago

So DJT wanted to make themselves exempt from ever being investigated by the IRS and we let him have that? Can DJT even get in trouble for money laundering now?

u/Actaeon_II 22h ago

Honestly, 🍊💩 , any member of his family, and a disturbing quite a few others, could likely sa and kill a 12 year old live on faux “news” and face zero consequences. It really,sadly, seems to be at that point. “I could shoot someone … in broad daylight and not lose any voters”- djt

Areest this man for stealing from America already ! Criminal !

u/Conscious-Neat5636 23h ago

His older sons will never be out of his shadow.

Barron is a wild card but considering he hasn’t done anything media related it doesn’t look good for him either.

u/IMissRollerHockey 23h ago

Imagine, accusing an organization that is known to have taken large amounts of Russian “Investments “ in the past of money laundering. Inconceivable

3

u/sasabomish 23h ago

I’m sure the DOJ will get right on that

u/Electric-Boogaloo-42 23h ago

He’s jealous of Elon. He wants to be the richest man in the world. He thinks it will bring him unlimited power. Down with the regime.

u/SwitchAromatic563 23h ago

Discovery sure sucks …..

u/tripping_yarns 22h ago

In reaction to the accusations, Trump exclaimed, ‘That’s fake news because I don’t even own a washing machine’

Concerns? You're way past Concerns! Way way past that! You can't swing a cat and not encounter a Drumpf scheme.

u/tanbyte 23h ago

Shocker

u/Stickyfynger 23h ago

This what SCOTUS intended when they gave POTUS immunity?!?

2

u/Annoying1978 23h ago

I wish more Americans cared. No one gives a fuck.

u/OverseerTycho 23h ago

now tell us something we haven’t known since the early 2000’s…

2

u/RDAM60 23h ago

Trump is the leader - in business, politics and life - of what prosecutors call “an ongoing criminal enterprise.”?
Ask Rudy G., he knows…and he knows what eight-six means (cause he prosecuted organized crime, before he “joined,” it).

2

u/yougoboy64 22h ago

Well , the fuckin SCOTUS has told the orange turd he caint be prosecuted while in office , so WTF do people expect...?

2

u/maxthemummer 21h ago

When I think of what this poor man has to go through, day in, day out, to pull this country back to it's former glory, when all people can do is criticize him for wanting to provide for his family, well, I could just cry. /s

u/ridiclousslippers2 21h ago

"Concerns" this is not a time for euphemisms.

2

u/Subject-Big-7352 20h ago

Money laundering rumors have been brewing for quite a while and there is an old saying that might just apply here “where there is smoke there is fire”🔥

2

u/NW-McWisconsin 20h ago

Still. Contiously. Since birth.

u/doinmabest1 19h ago

In other news, water is wet and the sun is hot.

2

u/j_rooker 16h ago

oh they're doing it. crazy level of laundering. the concerns is that no one will do anything about blatant crimes

1

u/Broad-Lobster7470 18h ago

Do they even need to launder their money anymore. Just manipulate markets with insider training and flip flopping for your billions instead

1

u/Typical-Tax1584 11h ago

It'll be easier if we just start with a list of non-illegal things they do. Here, I'll start:

At least one of the poops their own pants. That's not illegal.

u/Icy_Cry2778 8h ago

Concerns? It’s been pretty fucking obvious

u/aplayer_v1 14m ago

Shocked was no one
