There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."

In March 2020, I predicted that mail-in voting would be the defining issue.
I spent 2022 warning about rightwing voter challenges.
In 2024, the GOP was preparing to block certification if Trump lost.
In 2026, it will be DOJ use of voter data to undermine state election administration.

3-post thread breaking down how stupidly simple this Trump-Witkoff grift is, taking money from foreign adversaries in exchange for self-destructive US foreign policy, sale to UAE of advanced chips previously protected as NatSec tech, betrayal of Ukraine, NATO allies, American people.

**Witkoff and Trump**
![BBC, highlighted txt: “Trump had previously called crypto a "scam" but during the 2024 election campaign became the first presidential candidate to accept digital assets as donations.
During the campaign, his family launched a cryptocurrency company called World Liberty Financial […] and is also selling a crypto coin.
[…] launched from Trump Organization affiliate CIC Digital LLC, which is linked to previous sales of crypto collectable NFTs launched in 2022 that made millions”
Wikipedia:
Zach Witkoff
(born May 21, 1993) is an American businessman and co-founder of the cryptocurrency firm World Liberty Financial (WLF)
Relatives: Steve Witkoff (father)
Witkoff co-founded WLF in 2024, and is 60% owned by the Trump family.
RollingStone:
TRUMP FAMILY'S CRYPTO VENTURE NETS
$25 MILLION INVESTMENT FROM FIRM
SUSPECTED OF FRAUD
The investment came as the Justice Department announced it was shutting down a team that investigated market manipulation
As Donald Trump makes headlines […] his crypto fortune continues to grow. And his family is doing business with some decidedly suspect investors who may see unlimited upside in cozying up to the man who is rolling back the rules of the industry.
In addition to Trump and First Lady Melania launching his-and-hers meme coins, the Trump family leads the decentralized finance exchange World Liberty Financial, […] The venture, in which the president's sons Barron, Eric, & Don Jr. all have vague official titles, has raised corruption concerns because it offers an easy way to funnel money to the Trumps: DT Marks DEFI LLC, a company linked to the family, has the right to 75 percent of revenues from token sales. That means bad actors in the crypto space can essentially pay them off with the expectation of favors in return - all while the Trump administration continues to deregulate the crypto sector.

Logic would dictate “yes”…which is why the Trump administration will say “no.”
Unless it rationalizes personal gain for the Trumpian inner circle, like if say, that tanker—and all tankers everywhere—become Trump/Kushner property upon seizure.

If the US can seize a Venezuelan tanker carrying sanctioned oil, then can other tankers in other places, say the Baltic or the Black Sea, also be seized?
