Trump has found so many ways to use the presidency to enrich himself and his family that we had to narrow the list down. Here are 75 of the most staggering examples of Trump corruption in 2026. And yes, there were more. Read Ron Filipkowski’s full breakdown:

The reckoning for these thieves is going to have to be thorough and brutal. We tried the "back to normal" approach with Biden and we ended up with a wholesale Republican attack on the country www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is exactly the stuff the press corps should have asked about at the president's presser and the WH briefing today when they cast criticism of him as violent rhetoric. The question did not come up once.
"Enemy from within." "Communists, Marxists, fascists, radical left thugs, vermin." "Garbage" Somalis, "low IQ people." "She's an evil, sick, crazy, b..." Republicans want the left to tone down the rhetoric. Erm, have they listened to Donald Trump?? Zeteo put together this Trump montage:

Greg Bovino: FIRED Kristi Noem: FIRED Pam Bondi: FIRED •Each were wholly incompetent •Each committed or enabled gotesque crimes •Each should face prosecution •Each prove Trump never cared about meritocracy—only about sycophants Sadly for them, “I was just following orders” is not a valid defense.

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

TRUMP TODAY: There was an election in Texas? What? TRUMP YESTERDAY:
Q: In Texas, a Democrat won a special election in an area you won by 17 points. Your reaction? TRUMP: I don't know. I didn't hear about it. Somebody ran -- where? Q: In Texas TRUMP: I'm not involved. You mean I won by 17, and this person lost? Things like that happen. I'm not on the ballot

It’s entirely legal to record LE officers from your car. So they’re brazenly, illegally terrorizing this woman for exercising her constitutional rights. Yet we know that none of these officers be held accountable. We know this administration encourages this behavior. This is police state stuff.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

/3 3. The administration explicitly, repeatedly, and outrageously lied, on camera and in writing, regarding the shooting, how it happened, and what Pretti did. 4. The administration routinely lies and in fact administration members — like the Vice President — have defended lying as a practice.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."
