Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) marked President Donald Trump’s 100 days into his second presidency and read aloud 100 cases of his corruption into the congressional record. Warren said that Trump is ruling by self-interest, prioritizing his big-ticket donors and his own business ventures.
Warren unveiled a list of 100 things she is confident Trump has done to enrich himself and punish his perceived political enemies. She said that Trump promised to lower costs on “day one” but instead took an improving economy and broke it in 100 days.
The senator noted that Trump started the dumbest trade war in history, crashing equity markets and sinking retirement accounts. She also said the President is single-handedly reversing progress on bringing manufacturing back to America, with workers getting laid off instead. She said, “one hundred days, one hundred acts of corruption.”

The senator believes that the President has allowed his administration’s top officials and some of his close friends to indulge in government corruption.
“When he ran for office, Trump promised repeatedly that he would lower costs on day one. But instead of following through on his promise, Trump and his administration have paved the way for the president, his top officials, and his billionaire buddies to personally feed at the trough of government corruption.”
–Elizabeth Warren, Senator of Massachusetts.
Warren called out Trump for turning the White House into a Tesla dealership and paying for the White House Easter Egg Roll through corporate sponsors with business before the government. The politician also criticized the President for punishing former U.S. officials who called out his lies about the 2020 election.
The senator criticized Trump for helping his son set up a club where people can pay $500,000 for access to his Cabinet members. Warren also blasted the President for hosting million-dollar dinners between Big Pharma CEOs and their regulator, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The Massachusetts senator condemned Trump for launching a crypto memecoin right before his inauguration to make millions of dollars and then following up by offering to have an “intimate dinner” with whoever spends the most on his digital asset.
Senator Warren notes Trump’s tariffs have deteriorated the U.S. economy
The Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs (BHUA) Committee emphasized that Trump’s promise to lower costs and strengthen the economy has instead led to chaos, corruption, and higher costs for working families. She also highlighted how the President’s tariffs are driving up consumer prices, “threatening to shove our economy off a cliff, with millions of families already living on the financial brink.
The American politician also previewed today’s Senate vote on the bipartisan resolution she introduced with Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rand Paul R-Ky.) to block Trump’s abuse of emergency powers and stop his disastrous tariffs. Warren urged Republicans to stand with American consumers and workers, “not with Donald Trump’s chaotic, self-serving agenda.”
Warren also pointed to consumer spending numbers that showed 1 in 3 Americans has more credit card debt than emergency savings. She also noted that credit card delinquencies and auto loan delinquencies were back to levels not seen since the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.
The senator believes that millions of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck could face the devastating effects of job losses on top of overwhelming debt burdens. She acknowledged that the U.S. could see a cascade of defaults, foreclosures, and personal bankruptcies.
Warren argued that it was a “self-inflicting crisis” where the economy was being shoved off a cliff because of the President of the U.S.
