the 40 days of trumpmas - a surreal serial poem

 guyhair1_517UcgHYK3L._AC_UL320_SR256_320_.png 

Remember, remember! The fifth of trumpvember

 the 40 days of trumpmas - a serial poem

 

for 40 days the trumpeter reigns,

his lies and hate on whom he disdains,

but election day will come so soon,

we'll no longer hear the orange baboon;

 

in 39 days full of world wide problems.

we could elect him to get rid of the muslims,

but as he'll rant on trivialities of his presidential life,

what could be worse? - you could be his wife;

 

in 38 days just what will you do?

the donald has said he likes lgbtq,

but as he bullies his women and all his men too,

if youre questioning, what stops him from bullying you?

 

in just 37 days, some people are saying,

(or pleading or hoping or some even praying)

the duke of prunes will dye his forelock purple my friend,

and thus make america grape again,

 

our days are down to just 36,

before our problems the don will fix,

he will on day one do what hes said - true,

he'll wall out our enemies - and fat women too!

 

on the 35th day of trumpmas

yes just seven weeks remain!

will the polls and tallies deliver us

donald with his golden mane?

 

34 days and the vice-pipers have piped,

though pence didnt say why donalds suit shouldnt be striped,

he wouldnt defend his master's string pulling,

to make america great? - who do they think they're fooling?

 

just 33 days till the macho tornado,

unless its blown away by hurricane machado,

with women and voters he has so much to loose.

keep your mouth shut donald (unless youre changing your shoes)

 

32 days and we’ve been hit by the big blowhard,

donald spoke here in fla (oh, we had a hurricane too)

this administration gives us playing the race card, a weak economy, and unemployment

but if you want a job you could be donald’s campaign manager (unless youre a jew)

 

31 days, just a month, remains;

will the donald say hes sorry, and his baser impulses restrain?

or keep blaming bill clinton for our moral demise;

when trump speaks to us, our NO votes must be our replies!

 

election comes this time (in 30 days) each 4 years,

time for praise and tears and fears;

as polls will open in many states,

vote early, please dont vote late!

 

down to 29, just a leap february,

and theres still the donald quite

contrary;

donald donald, how does your garden grow?

quoth the master debater, "with pretty maids groped in a row"

 

just 28 days - later or soon,

and the zombies will rise, led by the big goon;

unless everyone gets a reality inoculation,

i might have to move to canada for a well deserved vacation; 

 

now just 27, less than 4 weeks,

no time for you to say 'yikes!' or 'eeeks!'

obama wants to go to mars and colonize it for man,

lets send trump tomorrow! and colonize it for orangutan!

 

26 days are all that remain,

will our democracy and economy go down the drain?

if we all keep listening to the blustering oaf,

will he give jobs and prosperity? - or just half a loaf

 

25 days - will more women speak?,

of the antics of donald who the presidency seeks,

dating 14 year old girls or groping their mothers,

how did the gop pick him over the others?,

 

24 days - were down to two dozen,

the next woman who speaks just might be your cousin,

or mother or sister, aunt, niece, even daughter,

describing the circumstance in which donald caught her,

 

23 days left and trump doesnt yet have as many accusers,

as cosby, but he assures us that they are all really losers,

sent by bankers or hillary with secret agendas,

to disrupt our election of him - our defender!,

 

22 days and we know charity begins at home,

but donalds attention is so prone to roam,

his gift that disappeared to 911 survivors from his foundation?,

oops! maybe donald spent it on a vacation,

 

21 days and trump says the election may be rig-ly,

if hes not the winner and his total's not big-ly,

tremendously higher than hillary gets,

he warns his supporters may all lose their wits,

 

20 days left and while george zimmerman still walks free,

the man who shot at HIM got 20 years - while trayvon got eternity,

trump wants us to support our cops and maintain law and order,

he'll put all the inner city dwellers in jail, and send the immigrant criminals far across the border,

 

19 days left till we all go to pretend,

to elect someone to lead us, as if on it our lives depend,

but wise man, donald trump, already really knows,

who we really voted for - a wolf in president's clothes?,

 

18 days and we bad hombres demand a rebate,

on the ill feelings left since the comments of one candidate,

the debaters have met in their final grudge match,

but only donald can say from whose hands victory will be snatched,

 

17 days and our government is corrupt with quid pro quo,

did you take latin at wharton? is that how you know?,

donald wants us to fire at them all - the bureaucrats lined up in rows,

and believe me, corruption is a subject. that donald really knows,

 

16 days - lets set term limits on all our office holders,

and put all our women in binders - or maybe in folders,

donalds endless complaints are becoming a sour whine,

have a little cheese with that, from wisconsin, where 

hillary's doing fine,

 

15 days and on stocking covered thighs did linger,

two miniature hands with two thumbs and eight tiny fingers,

they belonged to the donald who believed that he owned,

any thing that he wanted - or anyone he got alone,

 

14 days yes only two weeks,

till the duke of orange assends to the throne he seeks?,

to rule all americans, the strong and the weak?,

and dominate the globe with power that's peak?,

 

the 13th day to go - does that seem unlucky?,

not for donald whos lately been appearing quite plucky,

claiming media, polls, and parties are against him,

and rallying his multitudes with wit waxing dim,

 

on the 12th day of trumpmas donald awoke with a jerk,

promptly fired his latest campaign manager (who considered that a perk),

if youre "AAAfroAAAmurikan" and unemployed i can put you to work,

barked donald the businessman from behind his sly smirk,

 

it's the 11th and engineer casey trump is in the caboose,

i hear some of you saying oh no! what's the use,

our campaign will probably just go off the tracks,

but donald says its ok - cause he's got "the blacks",

 

just ten days left yes only one-zero,

til donald is hoping that he'll be your hero,

as new hillary emails come under investigation,

donald hopes to rename camp david to camp donald for

his vacations,

 

like a cat has nine lives we're left with only 9 days,

till we're subject to donald? and his old wicked ways,

on foreign affairs he says he'll save us from isis,

but his domestic affairs are misogyny and crisis,

 

our days are numbered - yes only eight,

till once again we make america great,

by getting rid of candidates who have nothing to add,

goodbye donald you wont make america sad,

 

just one week to go - its day minus seven,

till america's lifted above - to trumpty dump heaven?,

where for rich folks like donald opportunity abounds,

and we keep the working poor with a wall that surrounds,

 

how the time it does fly its already day 6,

till americans problems the donald will fix,

his solutions begin on trumpday number one,

dont you like them? they'll come at the barrel of a gun,

 

Five days to go, baby, One in five,

No one here gets out alive, now,

david dukes not opposed to all jews,

he backs trump - who are you going to choose?,

 

only 4 days left till the armaged-don,

he'll seize power by the horns once he has won,

and donnie will be what he longs for - a winner,

using the FBI to wreak havoc on hillary the sinner,

 

only three left, just a triad of days,

and the donald his supporters continues to amaze,

with hoopla and folderoll made up in his head,

his winning temperament will leave us all dead,

 

just a pair of days - 2 - till trump paradise,

since these words you're reading please heed my advice,

the creatures that surround us are beginning to bite,

'blacks for trump' fear the Illuminati so lets turn out their light,

 

just a single day left till our thanksgiving,

deliver us from donald and preserve the living,

forget sanity and disgard your misgivings,

but pray hard to your gods that they'll be forgiving,

since we've got the nukes why can't we use'em?,

on the road to 2016 why couldn't we lose HIM?,

 

and trumpmas now has finally come,

the tallies will count up to a winning sum,

unless the earth is struck soon by a cataclysmic comet,

to elect a candidate who just makes you want to vomit?,

we wish you a merry trumpmas at this time each 4 years,

if you have'nt voted you've lost the chance to mitigate your fears,

cause donald duck is ready to lead, forget your crocodile tears,

so you'd better get the vaseline and lubricate your rears!

Watchdog Letter to Congress Urges Investigation of Suspicious $25M Trump Family Crypto Firm Deal & Oversight of the President’s Sprawling Crypto Self-Enrichment Schemes

 https://accountable.us/watchdog-letter-to-congress-urges-investigation-of-suspicious-25m-trump-family-crypto-firm-deal-oversight-of-the-presidents-sprawling-crypto-self-enrichment-schemes/

 

Trump Administration
April 30, 2025

Washington D.C. – This week, government watchdog Accountable.US sent letters to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the U.S. Senate Banking and House Financial Services Committees calling for greater oversight of President Trump’s escalating involvement in opaque cryptocurrency self-enrichment schemes. The letter, first reported by Politico Influence, also urges an investigation into a recent alarming multi-million-dollar transaction between President Trump’s family crypto venture, World Liberty Financial Inc. (WLFI), and a Dubai-based crypto firm called DWF Labs, which has been suspected of engaging in market manipulation and whose Managing Partner is linked to Russia.

EXCERPTS FROM THE LETTER BY ACCOUNTABLE.US PRESIDENT CAROLINE CICCONE

The deal is emblematic of an unprecedented and rapidly worsening situation of the President of the United States using a web of Trump family crypto interests as his own personal mint while in office – interests that are largely out of public view and that almost certainly present conflicts against the public interest in many cases, including threats of foreign influence and to US national security. It is not even 100 days into the president’s second term, and Donald Trump has already been accused of ending an investigation into a major crypto mogul business associate, launching a scheme to enrich himself based on tariff policy, and launching a stablecoin as his administration pushed for stablecoin legislation to move forward in Congress

Just days before Trump’s second presidential inauguration, Trump and First Lady Melania Trump reportedly made nearly $100 million from crypto “meme” coins, a move that widely alarmed ethics experts for its potential for facilitating corruption and foreign influence. Those concerns were further elevated with the recent announcement that on May 22, the President will attend a private dinner “with the top 220 holders of the Trump memecoin” between the April 23 to May 12 time period – essentially setting up a race between wealthy investors of who can buy more influence with the President while the Trump family gets richer in the process. One of the event taglines even disturbingly reads: “Own a Piece of Trump.” 

The President is clearing the way for corruption and self-enrichment. He could have fully divested from all crypto interests given their near-limitless potential for corruption and self-dealing. Instead, Trump continues to push the envelope and open new pathways for foreign, corporate and bad actors to pay tribute to him off the books, expecting who knows what in return. From firing independent inspectors general and other watchdogs, gutting checks and balances, and politicizing and defanging other federal law enforcement, the Trump administration has put a “for sale” sign on the White House to attract the highest bidders, while everyday Americans suffer under a chaotic economy, higher costs, and the looming loss of healthcare, Social Security, education, veterans benefits, and other vital services. 

[…] 

Background on DFW Labs and Trump’s World Liberty Financial: 

World Liberty Financial was launched in the fall of 2024 with the goal of “allow[ing] people to access financial services using cryptocurrencies and without intermediaries like banks in what is called decentralized finance, or DeFi.” As of April 21, 2025, the project has no public DeFi platform. Despite having no publicly available platform, “World Liberty said in mid-March it had raised $550 million selling so-called governance tokens [$WLFI.] Most of those sales took place after Trump’s election win in November” according to Reuters.

[…]

DWF Labs is a Dubai-based company and claims to be “one of the world’s largest high-frequency cryptocurrency trading entities.” 

The company’s Managing Partner is Uzbekistan-born Andrei Grachev who previously stepped down as CEO of Moscow-based crypto exchange Huobi Russia after multiple scandals. Huobi was later found to potentially violate U.S. sanctions by allowing customers of sanctioned Russian banks. 

Notably, Grachev was also Vice President of Trading for RACIB, a non-profit “closely related” to Russian state-owned bank VEB, where Grachev worked with Vladimir Demin, a senior manager for Russian state-affiliated VEB Ventures who would go on to join Grachev in co-founding DWF Labs’ predecessor, VRM.trade. 

In May 2024, The Wall Street Journal reported that DWF Labs was suspected of market manipulation by investigators at Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, who found over $300 million in suspicious wash trades. Traders engage in wash trading to “create a false impression of market activity.”

Now, World Liberty Financial and DWF Labs have entered into a new partnership that demands Congressional oversight based on the series of events surrounding the deal.

Timeline of Key Events: 

    •     October 9, 2024: The Biden administration DOJ announces charges against 18 international crypto wash traders in a major sting operation. The National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, which was later disbanded by the Trump administration, was among the offices involved in the sting operation.
    •     Friday, April 4, 2025: DWF transfers 25 million $USDC tokens to World Liberty Financial,  ostensibly to purchase  250 million $WLFI tokens, making DWF one of $WLFI’s 25-biggest holders.  
    •     Monday, April 7, 2025: the Trump administration disbands the DOJ’s cryptocurrency crime enforcement unit, reassigning crypto market integrity prosecutors, and slashing the national cryptocurrency enforcement team— the same team that has prosecuted market-manipulating wash traders, among other bad crypto actors. We share the serious concerns raised by Senators Warren, Hirono, and Durbin about this “decision to give a free pass to cryptocurrency money launderers” and that “drug traffickers, terrorists, fraudsters, and adversaries will exploit this vulnerability on a large scale.”
    •     April 16th, 2025: Grachev announces that DWF Labs’ is “expand[ing] to the US market” with a new office in New York City, while in the same social media post praises Eric Trump and WLFI co-founderZach Witkoff by name: “Happy to support big things that you […] @ZachWitkoff @EricTrump […] are building, LFG!”

These facts raise serious questions in our view:

    •     Why did the Trump administration squash its crypto crime unit one business day after a Russia-tied foreign investor suspected of illegal market manipulation poured millions into one of the opaque Trump family crypto ventures?
    •     Was the DOJ’s crypto crime unit, the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team, or any of their financial crime enforcement partners investigating DWF Labs before the DOJ unit was shuttered?
    •     In 2024, DOJ and the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) appointed compliance monitors as part of Binance’s settlements for alleged money-laundering and sanctions violations. Have these compliance monitors found any evidence to corroborate reports that Binance’s internal investigators found that DWF Labs made over $300 million in wash trades? Have these monitors found any other suspicious activity by DWF Labs?
    •     What would this suspicious foreign crypto firm want in return for their substantial investment in Trump’s WLFl? Are DWF Labs, Andrei Grachev, Vladimir Demin, or any of their associates in contact with President Trump or his administration, specifically advising on cryptocurrency policy or other matters?
    •     In mid-April 2025, shortly after its WLFI deal, DWF Labs announced its expansion into the U.S., with a new office in New York City. Has DWF Labs taken the proper compliance, registration, and licensing steps to operate in the country after operating in foreign jurisdictions?
    •     If this transaction turns out to be a quid pro quo involving administration policy, what exactly do the American people stand to lose?
    •     Why has the president positioned himself to appear open to possible corruption and self-enrichment by maintaining ties to his largely unregulated crypto interests, even expanding them since taking office? 

We urge you to conduct congressional oversight of President Trump and the Trump family’s foreign personal business dealings, generally, and regarding digital assets and the DWF Labs transaction specifically.

If the President’s personal business interests continue to receive foreign money and other highly unusual and unethical, if not illegal, investments, the American people should know what these investors expect in return. Who are these anonymous investors? Crypto and other entities seeking to end oversight, investigations, and accountability for lawbreaking? Big oil companies that want the administration to further gut clean air and water protections?  Big drug companies that want Trump to let them off the hook from negotiating cheaper drug prices with Medicare? Wall Street banks or predatory lenders that want federal probes into their anti-consumer behavior to magically go away?

These kinds of arrangements could allow for the Trump family to sell out the interests of the American people to the highest bidder, whether foreign or domestic. This a 5-alarm fire for potential corruption that could leave everyday Americans worse off, and Congress should act accordingly.  We look forward to assisting you as you investigate this matter further.
