Does Trump Family Corruption Have No Bounds? - Thom Hartmann



Does the Trump family corruption have no bounds?

A Nobel Prize winning economist looked at the latest on Donald Trump and said two words. My God. Paul Krugman, who won the Nobel in 2008 reacted to a New York Times report on a United States deal with a mining company in Kazakhstan.

The catch? Trump's sons, Don Junior and Eric, plus Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's family, stand to cash in. Krugman called it horrifying. He says it's so blatant it resonates with ordinary people who are paying the price while the powerful enrich themselves.

And here's the part that should chill you. Krugman says a scandal this size now hits every few weeks. He warned us not to treat it as normal, because it isn't.

When the president's family profits off the office, that's not governing. It's looting. - Aired on 06/29/2026.
