MELONI AN DIE EU: "Es reicht nicht mehr, eine Handels-oder Regulierungsplattform zu sein."

Italiens Ministerpräsidentin Giorgia Meloni schickte diese Woche eine Videobotschaft an den FII Priority Europe Summit in Rom - dort, wo 1957 die Römischen Verträge unterzeichnet wurden.

Ihre Forderung, wörtlich: „Wir brauchen strategische Autonomie, industrielle Kapazitäten, technologische Souveränität und finanzielle Macht. Europa muss bereit sein, seine geopolitische und geoökonomische Stärke zu nutzen."

AfD Verbot unterstützen: Informiere jetzt deine Abgeordneten über das AfD-Gutachten

Die AfD ist verfassungswidrig:

Würden die Ziele der Partei Realität, hätte das weitreichende Folgen: Der demokratische Wettbewerb würde erheblich beeinträchtigt, und es wären systematische Verletzungen der Menschenwürde zu erwarten.

Die Partei will ihre politischen Gegner*innen strafrechtlich verfolgen. Und ihr Politikkonzept ist auf die Ausgrenzung, Verächtlichmachung und weitgehende rechtliche Abwertung von Ausländer*innen, Deutschen mit Migrationsgeschichte, Muslim*innen und weiteren gesellschaftlichen Gruppen gerichtet.

Grundlage dieser Auswertung war die bisher größte Datenanalyse aller AfD-Veröffentlichung. Diese bietet ein erfolgsversprechende Grundlage für eine AfD Verbot.

Lies jetzt die Begründung und schicke diese mit wenigen Klicks an deine Abgeordneten aus deinem Wahlkreis:

Trump unveiled Qatar's gifted Air Force One this week. The retrofit cost $934M from a nuclear missile budget. The plane becomes his personal property in 2029.

On Friday Trump stood at Joint Base Andrews and called the Qatari Boeing 747 "the world's most luxurious plane." He descended the stairs to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" and told the crowd, "A normal president wouldn't do this."

He's right about that.

The U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, is specific: no one holding office shall "accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State" without the consent of Congress. Congress was never asked. A Senate resolution (S.Res.244) formally declared the acceptance an "illegal emolument." A companion House resolution (H.Res.410) demanded Trump submit all plans to Congress before proceeding. Both were ignored. Instead, Attorney General Pam Bondi, a former registered lobbyist for Qatar, signed off on the deal as "legally permissible." The Freedom of the Press Foundation sued the DOJ under FOIA to obtain her legal memo. The DOJ responded that fulfilling the request would take more than 600 days. Convenient timing.

The gift was "free." The retrofit was not. During a Senate Appropriations hearing, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink confirmed the Pentagon redirected funds from the LGM-35 Sentinel nuclear missile program to convert the jet. The New York Times traced a $934 million transfer from the missile program to an unnamed classified project. The Sentinel program, meant to replace America's aging ICBMs, is already 81% over its original budget. But sure, the money was "excess to need."

After Trump leaves office, the plane transfers to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation no later than January 1, 2029. Transfer costs paid by the Air Force. So to recap: a foreign government gives a $400 million jet. The Pentagon spends nearly a billion in public funds upgrading it. Trump flies it for three years. Then it becomes his personal property. And the taxpayer covers shipping.

CREW wrote to Congressional leadership that the arrangement "raises incredibly serious corruption and national security risks" and that any hearing should investigate Bondi's conflicts of interest. The Democracy Defenders Fund filed a formal request for investigation with the DoD Inspector General and the GAO. Nothing happened.

The plane doesn't exist in isolation. A House Judiciary Committee investigation led by Rep. Raskin produced a report titled "Trump, Crypto, and a New Age of Corruption" documenting how the presidency has been converted into what it calls "a personal money-making operation." The Trump family's crypto ventures generated over $800 million in the first half of 2025 alone. An Abu Dhabi entity bought 49% of the family's crypto firm for $500 million, $187 million of which went directly to Trump-controlled entities. Shortly after, the administration approved advanced AI chip exports to the UAE. The $TRUMP meme coin generated $320 million in fees for its creators while 764,000 retail wallets lost money. The top 220 buyers got dinner with the president at Mar-a-Lago. Average ticket price: $1.8 million in meme coin purchases. That's not a crypto investment. That's a cover charge.

Forbes estimates Trump's net worth nearly tripled since 2024, from $2.4 billion to $6.3 billion, driven almost entirely by ventures tied to his political power.

His other quote from Friday: "Only a FOOL would not accept this gift."

764,000 people who bought his meme coin might disagree about who the fools are.
