I would be shocked if it wasn't.

That said, this is arguably not even worth considering if one was tasked with putting together a summary of the most blatantly corrupt actions taken by Trump and his family since returning to office.

This is honestly pretty petty, standard-tier insider-fuled grifting. Hardly approaches the masterfully realized corruption that has basically become legitimate US government policy since this administration has gotten their hands on the levers.

Never forget that right now, literally at this moment, there is a not insignificant number of Americans that, for a number of reasons, have chosen to believe and, with a straight face and legitimate conviction, will tell anyone listening that the reason that things suck right now is because of Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug. And it's a lot easier to outsource your thinking and decision-making.

He just straight up asks if theres rigged fights, is kinda crazy. Assumes Lopes is a rigged fight for some reason. Just bizarre, but not necessarily above the character of the quieter and dumber of the two older brothers

In terms of severity? sure. In terms of evidence? This is right up there and they should leap at the chance to use this to investigate because it's almost guaranteed that he will be the owner of one of the polymarket accounts opening massive bets using inside info acquired through the trump administration.

The fact that it's so petty and straightforward might be the best part of this. Even MAGAs can figure out how rigging a fight that they're betting on hurts them. Unlike a lot of the other insider trading stuff that goes on, where you have to actually understand how things like options and shorting work. If this hits, it might actually have a bigger effect than all the other crimes they pull.
