Where Is The Money?

What seems to becoming the most bizarre time to ever have been alive in America, the real test of our democracy slowly but surely will be upon us once again. Even through the strange new embrace of the post pandemic world of masks, hand sanitizers and the widely debated rule of six that dominates the new world social order; astonishingly politics is even more questionable than ever. One of the latest interviews that has been getting traction is by Anthony Scaramucci, Former White House Communications Director who asks a very portent question of his former boss’ presidential campaign: “Well you got 200 million dollars missing from the campaign they can’t find the money but that’s a other topic…” But is it? If money isn’t the main topic in any American value conversation then you’ve never watched an episode of any of the Real Housewives franchises. There is a congressional deadlock over money, there have been decades of abused lobbyists and over zealous liberals that have fought over that one value.

Money, or the misuse of the green little demon usually puts people in jail. The Muller special investigation sadly has become political fodder for the history books that will mock our republic. A moment where the government was inches away from collapsing upon itself, while the rest of America is still struggling with what collusion meant if it didn’t mean Trump wasn’t going to jail. An atomic bomb exploded in Congress when Robert Muller himself went over the details of his own report. He created the fundamental ground work for the probe that should be taking place, probably in the Southern District of New York for the misuse of money by the Trump campaign, dare say illegal. “These guys are unbelievable” said Scaramucci, regarding how much the Republican Party has given to Trump’s properties over the past four years.

The Federal Election Campaign Act that created the system of regulating money in these potentially billion dollar enterprises like any other American creation has been exploited to its fullest in the wake of the Trump Presidency. From Paul Manafort, pleading guilty to bank fraud and tax fraud to Richard Piendo who plead guilty to selling American bank accounts and other stolen American identity information to groups of Russians that were accused of interfering in the election, to the convicted and released Michael Cohen who just penned a captivating tell all ‘Disloyal’, detailing the multitude of schemes that he had been apart of.

For a party in the minority territorially but in the majority congressionally, that has a clear ideology on withholding economic relief, it is rather surprising the Republicans aren’t more keen on misuse of money anywhere. History has a way of repeating itself, especially if no one learned from past mistakes. ‘Hoax’, a phrase used overwhelming by President Trump; drives the notion that maybe our fearless leader hasn’t made any mistakes in selecting these particular people whom he flips from “some of the best people” to “I don’t really know them’ at the drop of a dime. My wonder what would a secondary special investigation into the missing 200 million dollars in Trump’s campaign money would bring to the surface? One word: Mar-A-Lago.

When the reporting of our President paying 750$ in taxes truly drove me to brink. How is it that a billionaire legally pay so little in taxes when they take Americans taxes over Sally Mae, IRS demands, social security, without having to say is on average way more than 750$. During the Town hall meeting the president spoke out his 400 million dollar debt as a peanuts. Yes maybe to him 400 million is a drop in the bucket, but for most Americans that's more money they could ever imagine. This defense is even more of a punch in the face to all the Americans who are still suffering, who need the 400-600$ unemployment increase, millions of people have been hit by this pandemic, and money is at the heart of it.
