Donald Trump is not satisfied with whoring out the presidency to line his own pockets. He also wants to use the powers of the state to become a dictator.
Let's explore how Trump is exploiting the murder of Charlie Kirk to strangle the most fundamental of American rights - free speech.
So, how much money has Trump made from his crypto schemes, and what happens to the rest of us if he crashes the American Dollar?
In the 90s, the mob scammed millions of people by pumping and dumping millions of dollars of worthless stock on the American Public. 30 years later, a mutant strain has emerged - an old turd in a pretty new dress. But instead of being run by the Five Mob Families of New York, this time the President of the United States runs the racket.
Tump wield his presidential power like a ganster. This week we'll explore how he scams the Secret Service, sells out our national security to wet his beak and skims off the top. Like any good gangster, Don the Don uses his crime family to shake people down and make them offers they literally can't refuse.
Besides being a con man, Donald Trump also likes to act like a gangster. Looking at his rackets via the lens of a mafia don shaking down his neighbors helps explain why Trump is so blatantly corrupt. We being by exploring Trump's version of an ancient mafia racket: Pay for Play.
A successful Con man relies on external and internal distractions to mesmerize his mark and pull off a grift.
How is Don the Con using treason, homeless people, an invasion of cops & troops, and a prison transfer to save his presidency from an insurrection of his most loyal minions?

For decades, Don the Con rode waves of crazy conspiracy theories to personal and political glory. But now, the monster he built has come for him as MAGA and QAnon rebels against his attempts to repress and bury the Epstein Files.
As a talented con man, Trump has mastered the art of framing. But his creepy and pervy history with adult women, teenagers, and underage girls - especially his daughter Ivanka - haunts him as former MAGA allies turn against him.
So how does a con man work his magic? It all begins with framing - controlling the narrative to mesmerize the masses and control critics. Even enemies are forced to fight on your battlefield, on your terms.
He that controls the frame, controls the game.
Russian intelligence and the Trump campaign focus on Facebook to microtarget American voters likely to fear immigrant boogeymen sent to "replace them"
Why did Putin go so hard for Trump in 2016?
From his hatred of Hillary, to his funding a massive sabotage campaign for the 2016 election, Putin did everything possible to put Trump in office. Not because he thought Trump was brilliant, as Trump believes, but because he considers him to be colorful, aka, a clown.
What is the point of Fake News? What is it actually designed to do? And who is behind it (spoiler alert: who is Trump deferential and meek around)?
How does a crazy story about Hillary Clinton, Comet Ping Pong Pizza, and a pedophile ring spread like wildfire that results in gunfire and chaos?
By successfully rebranding Fake News from combatting misinformation to smearing any news that he doesn't like, Trump destroys the ability of most Americans to separate fact from fiction.
Trump's rivals and critics finally get a chance to respond to Trump's endless taunts and insults face-to-face. Can anybody finally land a counterpunch or does Teflon Don slip away yet again?
Mainstream media gives Trump $2 billion of free coverage, and journalists who resist quickly discover they face a mission impossible and are "disavowed" by their peers and networks.
When Trump insists on running for president as his reality show character "The Donald," Mainstream Media betrays the public trust for ratings and money.
Trump decides to flip the presidential Hunger Games on its head by turning reality into reality TV. The snake hisses that surely taking just one small bite of the forbidden fruit in exchange for precious ratings isn't a sin...
As Trump explodes onto the political stage, Legacy Media must decide if they are going to sell their journalistic souls to Trump in a desperate bid for ratings and relevancy.
Today we explore the 3rd and most powerful weapon in Trump's initial arsenal - whipping an audience into a mob. Lessons honed over a decades-long relationship with Uber-promoter Vince McMahon that earned Trump a spot as a WrestleMania headliner and induction into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame.
We explore how Trump shifted American perceptions of himself from his many business and moral failures to his ultra-successful (but phony) alter ego - "The Donald"

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
