So if you are fleeing the Trump admin now... you are longer safe from prosecution when we finally remove him and his cabinet. Your ONLY choice now is whistleblowing.

Q: What part of your body were they were looking at?

TRUMP: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn't the brain bc I took a cognitive test & aced it, which you would be incapable of doing

Investigate the White House Foreign Deals Making Insiders Rich
Text SIGN PBSHPY to 50409 — I am writing with deep concern about new reports showing that a small circle of wealthy insiders is driving U.S. policy for their own financial gain, undermining American strength, security, and moral leadership. This is not the America First approach millions of voters believed in. It is a sellout of the American people to foreign oligarchs and billionaire elites. The Wall Street Journal revealed that the administration’s Ukraine “peace plan” was built around a Russian-designed blueprint that would funnel enormous business opportunities—Arctic mining, Ukraine reconstruction contracts, even space ventures—to a handful of U.S. and Russian billionaires with direct ties to the White House. As Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican and member of the House Armed Services Committee, said: “I don’t want to see a foreign policy based on greed. I want to see it based on doing the right thing.” I agree. America should stand for principle, not payouts. At the same time, major news outlets have documented how insiders are shaping U.S. policy for private gain. Tech investor David Sacks has reportedly influenced national AI and cryptocurrency policy while investing in the very companies that benefit. Nvidia’s stock is expected to gain up to $200 billion after restrictions were lifted—right after Sacks’s direct involvement with White House policy discussions. That’s not draining the swamp; that’s feeding it. Meanwhile, according to the Guardian’s investigation, members of the Trump family are pursuing cryptocurrency schemes, securing foreign building deals, and expanding golf courses while U.S. policy on tariffs, crypto regulation, and even pardons appears to align with those business interests. This is exactly the kind of insider enrichment voters were promised would end. The pattern is impossible to ignore. Wealth and power are flowing upward, not to working Americans. A convicted private-equity fraudster who stole from teachers, farmers, and veterans had his sentence commuted less than two weeks after reporting to prison. Everyday Americans lost their life savings—yet the Trump regime intervened on behalf of the man who defrauded them. At the same time, the public is still waiting for full transparency on the Epstein files, even though both Republican and Democratic voters want answers about who belonged to that elite network of unaccountable power. People believed Trump would take on those elites. Instead, reporting now shows his closest allies were friendly with Epstein and helped rehabilitate his image. Voters across the spectrum are waking up to the fact that we are not seeing America First—we are seeing an America for the billionaire class. Rising tariffs, rising energy costs driven by unchecked data-center expansion, and cuts to the social safety net are hitting working families hard while elites thrive. Congress must investigate how foreign oligarchs, tech billionaires, and politically connected families are influencing U.S. policy. We need hearings, transparency, and safeguards to protect the nation from kleptocratic practices that betray the American people. Please use your authority to stand up for the rule of law and for the forgotten Americans who deserve a government that works for them—not for the Epstein class.

"Unitary executive" is really "24 year olds in the West Wing tell everyone in the federal government with experience and knowledge what to do at their jobs."
thinking more about this: it is highly ironic that at the same time that it serves as a test case for the "unitary executive," this administration is all but being led by two subordinate officials with no immediate political accountability.
