Donald Trump nominees including Pam Bondi, who was selected for the Attorney General position, are cashing in on their MAGA celebrity status and raking in millions of dollars, according to new disclosures.

Bondi "made at least $3 million from the creation of the parent company of Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, according to her personal financial disclosure form," according to a Saturday report from USA Today.

"The form filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics and obtained by USA TODAY detailed her financial links to Trump through organizations he owns or that supported him," according to the report. "Bondi, 'like all other shareholders,' received $3 million in shares and warrants of Digital World Acquisition Corp. from Renatus LLC 'on the morning of a merger' between Digital World and Trump Media & Technology Group, according to the disclosure form. The shares and warrants were then converted to stock in Trump Media, the filing said."

Bondi isn't the only one cashing in. Politico is reporting that Tulsi Gabbard, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, "brought in over $1.2 million last year as a MAGA surrogate, according to a financial disclosure released Saturday."

1. They have two goals: Get very rich and destroy the country.

That is why they are kissing the ring.

[Martin Eden]

7. They want to turn the country into an even bigger cash cow for themselves

They don't intend to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, but their greed makes them blind to what sustains the goose.

And even if they're aware, what the hell do they care -- they think their riches will insulate them from the big crash, or it won't happen in their lifetimes.

8. They don't care if they kill the goose.

They got rich destroying the planet but think they are immune from the damage they have caused.

Once they have stolen most of the cash and resources in the world, they no longer need
people to buy their crap goods and services.

They no longer need many employees, they will use AI and robots.

2. So that's what you can buy a soul for these days. Interesting.

3. If...

Any of them had souls to sell.

4. I'm shocked they even complied with the financial disclosures to be honest...

…wouldn’t surprise me if there’s an effort to obscure this data in the near future.

5. It's all about the grift.

[Hotler]

6. Notice how mean the MAGAs are, even to their own when they don't get their way. These fuckers are all around us.

always be aware of your surroundings and watch your six.

9. Just wait until they start selling crypto currency to the Treasury.

They'll have to invent a new word for "looting".

[paleotn]

10. The whole point of all of this.

[Beartracks]

11. This should surprise absolutely no one. n/t
