This feels extremely corrupt.

Because it absolutely is. Board of Peace is just a fleecing scam for Trump to inevitably hold onto some form of power as its chairman when he is ousted from office. Its also a form of self enrichment as he controls its accounts.

Absolutely. A vehicle to embezzle money from the US public, taking bribes from foreign states, influence over who gets reconstruction contracts after wars, and an illusion of power so he can keep playing King.

In corporate terms, this would be called embezzlement.

And stupid. It feels corrupt and stupid. I don't know what they're going to do with that money, but it's going to be something stupid.

He only grifted $6bill so far, wanted to make it a big beautiful number like $7.25 billion... So much peace. That's nothing for this much everlasting Peace.

Is there a cap on capital punishment for financial crimes, or just call this one treason?

Trump would die in prison if we brought him to justice for crimes already on the books BEFORE his second term!

We literally just spent 1.25 billion dollars on something that is f****** mad up? You know what $1,250,000,000 could do? It could build 10 state of the art high schools.

"Bored of Peace" since Trump is seemingly pushing for more war on the horizon.

>The US had [previously pledged](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/world/middleeast/board-peace-pledges-gaza.html) to contribute the [$1.25 billion](https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/trumps-board-of-peace-to-pledge-5-billion-to-rebuild-gaza-16a49cfb?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqfwOjcJG7-WDa62YLCwZx257QvVxkXOMSHhyz7LhPHrZWs7k0tBh6Dyl0H-0nA%3D&gaa_ts=69c46ac6&gaa_sig=5dW9vaBvDEmjDrsPI3Gm_0CV2C-AlSqq18q9SMFEv_E90azSR9FVtPr4EyLEaBIGlSSXK2eOc9lTTg8CGs7AMA%3D%3D) to the president’s new international organization, which Trump says will rebuild Gaza. Of the State Department money, officials pulled $1 billion from international disaster assistance; $200 million from peacekeeping operations; and $50 million from international organizations and programs, the person familiar with the funding said. "Rebuild Gaza". Sure, Jan.

Build infrastructure and building with the US government’s money and then lease/sell them to private companies. Pretty good grift, all is takes is a complicit GOP and an uneducated disinterested populace.
24
XSinTrick6666 Mar 26, 2026 +12
It gets better: They are only rebuilding in the Israeli-occupied territory, then making "good" Gazans bark like dogs to get a "model" unit in the IDF-occupied areas. Grift. Graft. Israel and Trump's bagmen will get the construction money and divide up the spoils.

NeverLookBothWays Mar 27, 2026 +1
Even his own kids spilled the beans on that one…they want to privatize Gaza. They don’t give a shit about Palestinians.

But he has been too slow to change the constitution to make a third term possible.

This is what happens when you elect a fat, pedophile, rapist, war criminal. Most corrupt president we’ve ever seen in our lives, by far, it’s not even close. The corruption is off the charts….. and it’s going to get a hell of a lot worse.

Under which laws Trump did form a new agency? Doesn't this have to go through Congress?

ThaPhantom07 Mar 26, 2026 +16
Republicans are rubber stamping everything he does or refusing to bring it to a vote. They are in essence allowing him to do whatever he wants.

Simmery Mar 27, 2026 +10
It's not a new agency. It's not part of the government at all. It's just something Trump invented. It has no legitimacy.

crossdtherubicon Mar 27, 2026 +1
Board of Peace is a made up Trump grift organization. It has no government affiliation, approval, purpose, regulation, etc. It is entirely Trump's concept of a plan. It appears the US taxpayer is providing over 1$ BILLION to him for... Reasons.... Approved by.... "Gov't". Totally off the charts insane. Really unprecedented in any democratic country.
1
baatezu Mar 26, 2026 +20
Its not even really part of the government, is it? Its just Trump’s club that you pay him $1 Billion to enter. Its not even set up to have the ‘US president’ on the board, its created specifically around Trump. Might as well call it the Mar-a-Lago VIP club.
20
Acceptable-Bus-2017 Mar 27, 2026 +4
That would suggest the US is the headquarters. He isn't planning on being here once he's out of office. One way or another, he'll flee the country with all of his loot.

Okay serious question: what was it about straight up looting the treasury did Dearborn Michigan find attractive about Trump?

LeftToaster Mar 26, 2026 +10
So they sent $1B toa French wind energy development company to NOT develop a wind farm. Now they are sending $1.5B to the "board of peace" to NOT have peace. I'm sensing a trend here.

He’s liquidating the treasury

NeverLookBothWays Mar 27, 2026 +1
Liquidating everything. Federal government is being treated like a god damned piñata and his followers love him for it like lemmings loving the edge of a cliff. This is so stupid to watch it’s so blatant

If the US is able to remove Trump, there must be a law created that will allow to seize all Trump’s assets.

My question is, do his yes man know it’s corruption and just don’t care, or are they that blind?

Naked corruption, in the open, and the usual suspects are dead quiet. Really hope whoever the next Democrat president is they go completely ham on the Trump dynasty and get the Americans taxpayers their money back.

Is that on top of the $10B that was already headed there? Glad we can afford to build up land and resorts for his friends. Just not our own infrastructure, health care, or nutrition.

siouxbee1434 Mar 27, 2026 +1
Sure, every American has plenty of good, healthy food, good safe housing, reasonably affordable medical care. That $1.25B was just extra money sitting around taking up space. I guess if all trump and his sycophants know is grifting, that’s all they’ll ever do

Annnd.... there's the grift. Classic Trump parasitic family maneuver. I'm not American and this was on my bingo card the day you swore him into office. Trump is squeezing everything he can out of the country before he leaves office. At this rate, America will be a dusty, dried out husk of its former self by the end of his reign.

If the president was David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert from 24) and had done just the tiniest fraction of the things that Trump has done, one of his own secret service agents would have tried to assassinate him.

Wow, it’s awesome that Trump has figured out so many ways to diversify his taxpayer funded income streams. That’s gotta be great for him.
