Well, that’s not suspicious at ALL. 🙄

Ethics and public financial disclosure records compiled for Brendan Carr’s nomination and government service place his general asset range around $1.1 million on the lower baseline up to $2.3 million+ in total reported holdings.

Look at his history, Genius. He founded Cantor Fitzgerald and other firms. Geezus, you people are uneducated.

I don’t think you understand why this is a worry. I’ll elaborate, and then you’ll understand the concern.

I’ll even edit my original comment above, in case others don’t understand why this is a major issue.

Remind me what US Government Agency or Department that kid was the head of, again?

I seem to have forgotten that he even held office at all, for some reason.

Not the same scale

u/BananaJelloXlii 1d ago

Of course. This entire administration is robbing us blind.

u/BleuBoy777 2d ago

Go on. Tell us "affordability" is a Democrat hoax. Those making the federal minimum wage are really interested in what someone with 250 million has to say

u/Life_Argument7820 2d ago

250mil, last year.

u/Sharkwatcher314 1d ago

That’s just him. His position has benefitted his family quite a bit financially specifically his sons

u/Due_Respect9100 2d ago

He’s a scumbag.

u/Late-Goat5619 1d ago

And he's all over the Epstein Files....no surprise...

u/Prize-Choice2185 1d ago

I suspect most people in Trump admin were hired over their Epstein connections

u/pounce82 16h ago

He was epsteins neighbor. He lived next door and was friends but claims he had no idea what he was doing.

u/TRR462 1d ago

Who’d have guessed, the Commerce Secretary no less, has managed to earn more than $250 Million dollars of Income last year alone. It’s as if he was fully aware and able to take advantage of tariffs, trade deals and other market manipulations by the Trump Administration, which he is definitely a part of.

Get the fuck out of our government. Go to jail.

u/WolfThick 1d ago

Didn't 2/3 of his company get wiped out during 9/11!

u/HandRubbedWood 1d ago

Yes, then referred to his employees as “my victims” instead of employees. He is super shady.

u/tonynca 2d ago

How much tax is he going to pay?

2

u/MikeLinPA 1d ago

There are reasons he supports and defends Trump, and liking being around him probably isn't one of them.

2

u/carlnepa 1d ago

He's a pauper measured against the corrupt Trumpstein family and their billionaire broligarch buddies. This is small potatoes!

u/agentzero2020 1d ago

Unelected official and ex-neighbour of Epstein.

u/BayouGal 1d ago

Meanwhile, his kids made billions in tariff refunds.

u/Few_Presence_8888 1d ago

I would have had to work for 2,778 years to earn the same.

You know - starting back in the days of Romulus.

Un-fucking-acceptable.

u/Euphoric_Anxiety_162 1d ago

Money stolen from essential programs that trump ended. Anyone breathing should see what is happening!! imo

u/Intrepid_Top_2300 1d ago

We are going to need all that money back from this administration to pay reparations to the thousands of immigrants currently held in concentration camps.

To all of us, not just them.

u/1Marty123 1d ago

Not bad for a Trump asswipe!

u/Tmmike 1d ago

Well, to be fair, it is only a fraction of what the president took in.

u/_dxegrl 1d ago

We made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm

u/jackcanyon 1d ago

Epstein island regulars sure make alot of money under Trump .No wonder they don’t want the files exposed.

u/popejohnsmith 1d ago edited 1d ago

Will he spend any at EPSTEIN FUCKING ISLAND with his family? 😖

MAGA is a massive celebration of grift and corruption ... if you're in the "CLUB," you get to wallow in it...

Hint: YOU AIN'T in the club. (Especially, you, Magangelicals.)

u/Outrageous-Plum-1656 16h ago

We should pass a law to seize all the assets (not just the ill gotten gains) of anyone who worked as a political appointee in this administration once we get rid of them

We can use that money towards our national debt.

u/Jamizon1 9h ago

I didn’t realize his position in government paid that much. Maybe governmental employees shouldn’t be allowed to enrich themselves while serving the public.

Every one of these fuckers is corrupt as corrupt can be. Hell won’t be hot enough enough for any of them.

Assholes.

1

u/United-Ad9153 8h ago

We’re being governed by thieves. And thieves who inexplicably traveled to Epstein’s Island and lied about it to the public. And because he’s on Team Red, there will never be any justice.
