Trump Uses Tariffs to Get Official Approval for Resort in Vietnam!

Vietnamese officials are literally going door to door FORCING farmers to sign away land that’s been in their families for generations so the Trump Organization can build a $1.5 billion golf playground outside Hanoi. Cemeteries with five generations of ancestors? Bulldozed. Farmland that’s fed families for centuries? Gone. One guy signed because, in his words, “there’s nothing I can do.” That’s not development.... that’s muscle with a logo.

And here’s the kicker. Vietnamese officials admitted in writing they fast-tracked it because the project was getting “special attention” from Trump personally ... while they’re desperate to avoid massive U.S. tariffs.

Translation.... trade pressure meets luxury villas.

Environmental reviews? Cut short. Public comment? Minimized. Legal steps that normally take two to four years? Compressed into a few months to match Eric Trump’s schedule.

The White House says the business and the presidency are totally separate. Meanwhile, the financial disclosures show he still profits. Governments aren’t naïve.... if they think favoring the family business helps them in trade negotiations, they’re going to favor it.

So now you’ve got trade leverage on one hand and luxury villas on the other. That’s not some minor optics issue. That’s the line between public power and private profit getting so blurry you need a telescope to find it.

And the irony is almost cosmic. For a man who tried so hard to avoid going to Vietnam, he sure seems to want in there badly now. Guess the bone spurs got better. 🦴

This isn’t about golf. It’s about influence. When farmers are watching excavators creep toward their ancestral graves while politicians pose under a gold-plated tent, it doesn’t scream “strong leadership.” It screams brand expansion with geopolitical perks.

If this were any other president, people would be losing their minds. Instead we’re supposed to pretend this is just another ribbon-cutting.

It’s not. It’s power and profit shaking hands while ordinary people get told to move.
