“Folks, the fleecing is occurring in plain sight,” wrote Joni “Make ’em squeal” Ernst in a column in the T-R of May 26th. You may have wondered, as did I, why Donald Trump and his family has not been awarded her Squeal Award every month since his inauguration. Why hasn’t she ever objected to the billions of dollars Trump and his family have raked in since his second term began? Gifts and contracts from foreign governments, contracts with questionable construction businesses, dodgy bit-coin offerings, multiple stock deals with companies the Trump sons recently invested in or Trump advertised in speeches or on social media, and then the 1 billion, 776 million dollar slush fund from taxpayer money are just samples of the “fleecing” that has occurred. I ask, “Joni, how much more in “plain sight” does this fleecing, or grift, or fraud have to be for you to call it out? Iowa must have a Senator who is not in league with Donald Trump!
