How does Ilhan Omar make her money? How does the Trump family make its money? Is money real? What is reality? These are the questions Cockburn is asking himself after this weekend’s financial news.
First, let’s fly over Minnesota. Founding “Squad” member Omar, the Washington Free Beacon reported yesterday, is currently worth more than $30 million, despite telling the press earlier this year that it’s “categorically false” that she’s a millionaire. If by false, you mean “true,” then yes.
The Free Beacon obtained Omar’s latest financial disclosure, which indicated that she and her husband, shifty “former political consultant” Tim Mynett, are worth somewhere between $6 million and $30 million – a wide range. Their holding companies are a winery with the annoying avant-garde name of eStCru and a venture firm Rose Lake Capital, which, as late as 2023, “were saddled with lawsuits from investors claiming they defrauded them out of millions of dollars.”
Omar’s relationship with Mynett began in 2020, when they were both married to other people. Her campaign paid his political consulting firm nearly $3 million to position her as the people’s champion. Once the press and public caught on to that grift, it ended, and Mynett instead began operating an e-winery. It also appears that Omar’s empire is based on investors in African development and the cannabis industry, all of whom are suing or have sued her husband. Nothing to see here.
Meanwhile, in Trumpland, America’s First Family has somehow “notched as much as $5 billion in paper wealth,” according to the Wall Street Journal , after World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the family’s flagship crypto venture, launched yesterday. Trump’s three sons are the founders of World Liberty, and Trump is a “Co-Founder Emeritus.” I mean it’s no eStCru winery, but Cockburn, who himself possesses substantial but hard-to-access crypto holdings, suspects that WLFI could collapse as quickly as the Trump Taj Mahal. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, about the launch of WLFI, “neither the President nor his family have ever engaged, or will ever engage, in conflicts of interest.” Sure, Jan.
She’s Muslim and Female so none of that matters to DemAratS
they walk, unless Trump pulls a RiCOrabbit outta his hat, but that also puts the fair City of Minneapolis in jeopardy — 10K rioting Somalians, could get ugly jailing their princess benefactor.
Apples and oranges tactic. He sold his name on the crypto and you can bet it is audited every way but Sunday.
Well this is a false equivalency.

Exactly.
Trump proved his ability to make money before he went into politics. Omar has only proved her ability to take money
