Evidence (2023-04-04): While Donald Trump’s indictment is unprecedented, it is not the first time a U.S. president has faced legal challenges, though none have faced criminal charges as Trump does.

Evidence (2023-05-18): This sobering reality does little to discourage people intoxicated by dreams of riches. For example, the White House Gift Shop sells a large collection of presidential memorabilia, including a coin commemorating "President Trump Defeats COVID," which is advertised as the "last coin in the historic moments series chronicling President Trump."

On one site, the coin is free (plus $9.99 shipping and handling).

There were insults and racially loaded rhetoric. There were repeated claims of persecution and efforts at self aggrandizement. The only thing missing, for understandable reasons, was a "lock her up" chant.

Claim: “The White House Gift Shop is putting out a commemorative coin for Donald Trump's indictment.” (Bill Cassidy, 2023-06-12)
Evidence (2015-01-01): Trump's indictment represents a critical juncture in the ongoing debate over presidential immunity and accountability. The charges allege that Trump not only retained classified documents but also actively sought to conceal them, raising concerns about national security and the integrity of the executive branch. The case has sparked intense legal and political debates, with some arguing that this indictment is a necessary assertion of the rule of law, while others view it as politically motivated. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for how future Presidents are held accountable for their actions both during and after their terms. [...] The indictment of Donald Trump is more than a legal proceeding; it is a pivotal moment in American legal and political history. It challenges long-standing assumptions about presidential immunity and the limits of executive power. As the nation watches this historic case unfold, its significance will likely reverberate through the legal system and influence the conduct of future Presidents. Regardless of the outcome, this case underscores the ongoing struggle to balance the powers of the Presidency with the principles of justice and accountability that underpin American democracy.

Evidence (2023-06-14): Sen. Bill Cassidy won’t be buying the new coin commemorating former President Donald Trump’s federal indictment, thank you very much. The Louisiana Republican posted a video to Twitter on Monday in which he denounces the White House Gift Shop for hawking the "limited edition" trinket, calling it his "outrage of the week." "Whatever you think about it, whatever party you are, you’ve gotta admit that it’s poor taste, that it’s capitalizing upon something without his permission," Cassidy said in his self-filmed video. His tweet on the subject read, "The White House Gift Shop should not be selling a commemorative coin marking Donald Trump’s indictment. This is totally outrageous." [...] Or put another way, Biden and his team have remained publicly silent about the former president’s criminal case, but as Cassidy sees it, away from the microphones and the spotlight, it’s "totally outrageous" to find an item celebrating Trump’s indictment for sale at the White House Gift Shop.

Evidence (2024-05-23): Harvard boasts the largest endowment in the world sitting at $50.7 billion in 2023 — larger than the economies of 120 countries. Yet the past decade has seen lackluster investment performance in comparison to its peers, sparking concerns over management transparency and the University’s ability to fund operations. Harvard has remained the wealthiest institution in higher education after it benefited from tremendous returns from the 1990s to the mid-2000s, when the endowment grew by over $21 billion in 15 years. During that period, the University managed to outpace a traditional 60/40 investment portfolio of U.S. stocks and bonds by 6 percent a year and beat top Wall Street hedge funds. [...] But excluding 2021, Harvard’s endowment performance averaged over 2018-2023 was marginally better than Princeton, Stanford, and MIT — second only to Yale.
