"It's a flying bribe"

Trump’s Corruption Takes Off And Congressman Mike Levin Is Here to Ground It.

Donald Trump once called Qatar a major funder of terrorism, but now suddenly considers them a "wonderful country." What changed? Perhaps the fact that Qatar decided to gift a luxury Boeing 747 to Trump's administration—an extravagant "donation" that's headed straight to Trump's presidential library after his term. Congressman Mike Levin joins us on this week's episode of The Dangerous Ones podcast and cuts straight to the point: "It's a flying bribe."

In an explosive conversation, Levin doesn't mince words about the blatant corruption unfolding before our eyes. Trump’s acceptance of this jet isn’t just ethically grotesque it's also a massive national security risk and symbolic of an administration comfortable trading U.S. integrity for personal perks. Levin calls it "meshuggah" (crazy) and emphasizes that no previous president would have dared something this brazen.

But the episode doesn't stop there. Levin also dives into Trump's destructive budget, exposing shocking provisions hidden within: a silencer tax repeal benefiting the corporate gun lobby, devastating cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, and billions siphoned directly to billionaire donors. He shares heartbreaking stories of families torn apart by Trump's immigration policies, along with a stark warning about the administration's dismantling of environmental protections and threats to Social Security.

This conversation with Rep. Levin is a wake-up call and a reminder that what we're witnessing isn't just ordinary political corruption. It's next-level, shameless greed and cruelty, targeting those least able to defend themselves. As Levin says, it's on all of us to stand up and fight back.
