while trump distracts us with his clownish pitches on sneakers and bibles, the option to possibly participate in future audiences with trump has been pulling real money in (as in middle east baksheesh). so far, kushner leads the grifting race with ~$90million in asset management fees via his affinity fund with no track record (a huge amount considering its likely not on mark-to-market assets, and likely no performance requirements nor clawbacks). of course, russian proxies also seem involved.
if nothing else, this money could fund a lot of trump's old\new litigation, under the dire circumstances he actually has to pay for these services from his own stash.
the future of american grift is public and proud, with MAGA clapping all the way.
