This right here is one of the most corrupt things that Donald Trump has done so far in his administration. And that's saying something. Donald Trump has put tariffs of up to 100% on foreign-made drones. And that is not military drones like drone strikes were doing in the Middle East, but rather those small little ones that film people that have those propellers. Those are the drones that Donald Trump just put tariffs on. And you might be saying, well, Harry, how is this corrupt? It just sounds like Donald Trump is doing something stupid with the tariffs again. But of course, Donald Trump and his family stand to benefit. financially from these tariffs. I'm going to break this down for you along with the other corruption

stories that just came out today about Donald Trump, his family, and his administration. There's a lot going on. So please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. Let me know what you think about this story, and let's dive in. So Donald Trump put these 100% tariffs on drones on Thursday, continuing its long-running campaign to thwart the Chinese drone industry and promote domestic manufacturing. That's what Donald Trump is saying is the main reason why he's putting these tariffs on international drones. A 100% tariff applies to drones that weigh more than 55 pounds or use thermal imaging. Those drones, the vast majority of which are made in China, have become essential for many law enforcement officials as they're used to track wildfires

and find lost people. Smaller drones have a tariff of 25%. So Trump is saying we want to build more of these drones in the United States. Problem is our capacity to produce them is not going to meet the demand. So prices are going to go up. Donald Trump, whose two eldest sons, have ties to the U.S. drone industry. We're going to talk about that in just a moment, announced the levees last month after a Commerce Department investigation deemed reliance on foreign drones and components a national security threat. The Trump administration argued that the U.S. must be weaned off its reliance on China for drone technology. It's estimated that a single Chinese company, DJI, manufactures more than 70% of the world's commercial drones. But critics say

that the domestic drone industry cannot fill the gap and that the administration's abrupt policy changes will do more harm than good, which is almost certainly going to be the case. But I want to focus on this paragraph right here, and specifically the first sentence, Donald Trump, whose two eldest sons have ties to the U.S. drone industry. That's right. And they stand to benefit. We know that the Trump's sons have backed Aureus to merge with drone maker powerists. So they have connections to both of these companies. They've merged, and this is a drone making company. The small drones, not the big drones, the small drones. And then making more drones in the United States, boosting production and having more companies buy those

drones as opposed to drones from around the world, not only will the prices go up, but they will make a bunch of money. And check this out. Donald Trump's eldest sons, Eric and Don Jr., are shareholders and advisory board members of Dominary Holdings, which has invested in Poweris, a Florida-based drone maker. Donald Trump Jr. also sits on the advisory board of unusual machines, the top manufacturer of drone components in the United States of America. It is so corrupt.

It is so in your face. And they want you to believe that a headline like this is kind of mundane. It's just like, oh, Donald Trump is putting tariffs on drones. Who cares? That's the point. That's the point. They have this mundane story that maybe doesn't apply to most people. Really doesn't.

It applies more so to law enforcement than anything else. And under it, there is an element of financial benefit for the Trump family. It is so corrupt. It is so disgustingly corrupt. And that is not the only story we got today of corruption in the Trump administration in connection to tariffs as well. Howard Lutnik, his financials have just been revealed. And man, oh man, has he made a lot of money in office? Kind of makes you wonder where that money is coming from.

Top Trump goons, shocking payday in office has been revealed. Check this out. Donald Trump's Commerce Secretary made more than $250 million in income in 2025. He's a government worker. and he's making $250 million? Something's not right. Something is not right. The filing obtained by the Wall Street Journal

shows that the majority of billionaire Howard Lutnik's 2025 income came from stepping back from many of his business operations to take on the cabinet level role. Lutnik received at least $190 million in a distribution from Cantor Fitzgerald before he transferred his stake in the company to his children. Isn't that something? Lutnik also reported assets worth at least $237 million.

as of December 2025, which is significantly less than the previous report, which recorded a minimum of $805 million assets. Wonder where that stuff went. There's a wide range of asset values allowed in ethics filings, and Lutnik's assets are likely worth significantly more, which is probably the case as well. The Commerce Department did not respond to a request for comment. Lutnik also sold off assets valuing at least $259 million between last May and October and picked up stock index and money market funds worth at least $166 million,

So Howard Lutnik, just like Donald Trump, is also trading stocks and on the topic of Howard Lutnik's children. Not only have they worked with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump and are sometimes finding themselves in business, having stakes in companies together. But check this out. Trump's Commerce Secretary loves tariffs. His former investment bank is taking bets against them. You know, that bank that the sons now have control over? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cantor Fitzgerald, the financial services company we just spoke about, is creating a way for investors to bet that Donald Trump's signature tariffs will be struck down in court.

And of course, they make a bunch of money from that being the case. And guess what happened? The tariffs got struck down in court. You know, the Trump supporters, they always just say, wow, this stuff is just a coincidence. Well, like, you know, how could you even be suspicious of this stuff? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Give me a break.

It is so disgusting. And Donald Trump is pretending that he's not connected to the corruption whatsoever, that he's completely oblivious, he's completely separated from it. Two and five Canadians will hear the words, you have cancer. That's why every step and dollar raised matters.

For example, today he was asked about Trumpcoin, the cryptocurrency he's made billions of dollars from, a bunch of people lost all of their money, he made a bunch of money. He said, I don't run it. You know what I run? I run this country. I don't focus on that.

But somebody tells me it sells very well. He wants you to believe that he has no knowledge of the cryptocurrency that made him billions of dollars, which of course, I don't believe. I don't think anybody believes. But the good news is there is actually people who are standing up to Donald Trump and his corruption and filing legal action against him to stop some of the most corrupt aspects of this administration. So for example, that whole insider trading thing that he's doing with True Social where you

can pay $100,000 a month and get access to market moving posts early so then you can bet on the markets and make money from the post that Donald Trump is making. That's a real thing that his company is doing. and legal action has been filed. The Intercept and Freedom of the Press Foundation moved in federal court to preliminarily enjoin Donald Trump from providing early access to his social media posts to those willing to pay

$100,000 per month, which is great to see. The other problem for Donald Trump is that people are aware of the corruption and they're not happy. The American people, Democrat, Republican, Independent are really pissed off that Donald Trump is making money from the Oval Office while everybody else struggles.

So, for example, CNN's data guru, Harry Enten, exposed Donald Trump's big corruption problem with some new polling. CNN's resident data expert highlighted that a majority of Americans believe Donald Trump to be a proponent of the swamp that he promised to drain. The network's chief data correspondent Harry Enten explained on CNN News Central that the 80-year-old president's mission of tackling corruption isn't going well in the eyes of the American people. Trump came into Washington with a promise of cleaning up the swamp. Well, the American people say he's failing. The data guru pointed to a Reuters ipso's poll from Wednesday, which found that more than half of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump's handling of corruption. You obviously want that number to be south of 50%.

It was south of 50% at the beginning of Trump's second term. Look at that 43%, but now up like a rocket, we're talking nearly three and five Americans. 59% disapprove of the job that Donald Trump is doing on corruption. He noted that among independents, the number was even higher at 64%. which is not what you want to see if you're Donald Trump. And also, Republicans who are running for government are telling Trump to stay away from their campaigns, from their campaign trails for that very reason. For example, quote, we've told him he cannot come.

Republicans grapple with how to handle Trump on the trail for a variety of reasons. It's covering up of the Epstein files, the economy sucking, more war, but also the brazen corruption that we see on a daily basis. Republicans don't want him involved in their campaign. which you can only imagine how damaging that is for Donald Trump. He's a man of a very large ego stupidly, and him being told by his own party that they don't want him there, that they would rather campaign without him,

is probably devastating for Donald Trump and his team. But, you know, Republican candidates are feeling the wrath of Trump no matter what. So, for example, the other day, Donald Trump spoke about Ken Paxton, who's running for the Senate in Texas, and he just, like, insulted him in front of all of these different swing state Republicans. Check this out. We're going to go to Texas and work for Ken Paxton, who's a great guy. I mean, so Ken Paxton, you might not like the way he dresses.

And I say this, it's so insulting to him, but I might as well say it. You might not like the way he looks. You might not love his look. You might not love his television interviews. But he was the best attorney general in the country, perhaps. He was one of the best in the entire country. And that speaks a lot louder than the suit he's wearing that doesn't look so great. or than anything, frankly.

He was maybe the best attorney, and everybody admits it. He was a great attorney general in Texas. Yikes, not really the endorsement that you want. He's basically saying, yeah, he looks like crap, and yeah, he's like really weird and stuff like that, but you should vote for him anyway. And that could explain part of the reason why right now is it stands.

Paxton is down in the polls by six points. That's a lot in the Republican state of Texas. It can fluctuate, but he's down by a lot. Also, same story in Georgia. Trump's saying, I think Mike Collins has a good chance. A lot of people don't know about that. I've beat the candidate before. And this was in a Fox News interview, which of course, you know, not great.

But he's saying, I think he has a great chance in Georgia. Problem is, though, new polls have found that John Ossuff is beating him by nine points. Nine points in a state that Donald Trump won by a lot or a decent amount in 2024. Not a lot. A decent amount in 2024. And what do you know, John Ossoff is running on banning congressional stock trading, and his opponent, too, Mike Collins, has a history of corruption. He said in a recent interview, this being John Ossoff,

I want to remind you that my opponent, the bigot, Congressman Mike Collins, is under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars. It's now been one week since I demanded that he commit to testifying in this probe, which he has stonewalled and obstructed according to the Office of Congressional Conduct. My pursuit of this commitment from Mike Collins was interrupted by the the recent revelation of yet another Nazi sympathizer in his staff, which is true. Today I am restarting my demand, or restating, I should say, my demand that Congressman Mike Collins commit to testifying in the ongoing federal investigation of his office's illegal misuse of tax

dollars. You'd love to see it. I would like to see it. I think anybody would like to see it why his congressional office is misusing tax dollars. Just speak under oath about it. Why not, right? Why not, Mike? Anyway, point is, there's a lot of corruption going on in Donald Trump's administration.

publicly behind the scenes. It's not just Trump. It's members of his team. It's members of Congress, Republicans, and it has to stop. The way we end that, the way we investigate this stuff, is by electing Democrats in November to the House and the Senate and all the way up and down the ballot, starting locally, going federally. So look, I will leave the video there.
