Trump’s Presidency for Sale?

from The Oath and The Office · host Two Squared Media Productions

This week on The Oath and the Office, we follow four stories that raise one question: what happens when the restraints on presidential power start disappearing?Donald Trump is being sued over a service offering paying customers early access to his Truth Social posts, including market-moving announcements, for as much as $100,000 a month. Is official presidential information becoming a private commodity?Then Trump goes back to the Supreme Court after two lower court losses, asking the justices to revive his plan to impose new conditions on mail ballots ahead of the midterms. Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang break down what the fight means for presidential power over elections.We also look at ICE’s reported plan to spend millions on electric shock gloves and the Treasury Department’s decision to dismantle major beneficial ownership disclosure rules designed to expose anonymous shell companies, rules originally championed by Marco Rubio as a weapon against money laundering, trafficking, and terrorism.From presidential self-enrichment to elections, immigration enforcement, and financial secrecy, the question is the same: who is left to constrain executive power?1:50 – Paid Early Access to Trump’s Truth Social Posts12:56 – The Death of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act19:30 – The Corporate Transparency Act30:18 – Trump’s Supreme Court Appeal on Mail Voting43:25 – ICE’s New Electric Shock Gloves
