Congressional candidate and only grandson of President John F. Kennedy, Jack Schlossberg, just sounded the alarm about the brazen corruption that occurred during Donald Trump’s presidency.

Speaking to MeidasTouch for its podcast on Monday, Schlossberg accused Trump of using his presidency to line his pockets and warned that something must be done before it’s too late.

“We’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich,” the Democrat told host Ben Meiselas as he warned people not to let this become the “new normal.”

Describing the nation’s most pressing problem as a cost, corruption and constitutional crisis, Schlossberg took issue with the fact that Trump and his family members have raised $4 billion since his re-election in November 2024.

The pedigreed social media influencer said it’s ridiculous that the president can enact policies that increase costs for Americans and weaken the dollar, allowing him to profit from his own $1 cryptocurrency.

Kennedy and Meiselas also criticized the news that Trump’s holding company applied for the “Trump 250” trademark ahead of America’s milestone birthday in July.

“Everyone knows that he just tells you what you want to hear and then picks our pockets,” Schlossberg said. “It’s a slap in the face with one hand and he’s picking our pockets with the other.”

Kennedy, candidate for New York’s 12th District, called this year’s midterm elections the “last chance to stop Trump,” while saying Democrats have to be prepared to confront “dirty tricks” from the opposing party.

“We don’t have the luxury of watching what happens,” Schlossberg said of Trump’s threat to nationalize the election or seek a third term in the White House. “We have to take matters into our own hands and people have to step up and run.”

The Kennedy heir promised a new approach to politics when he announced his presidential bid on social media last November, promising to translate “the creativity, energy and drive” of New York’s 12th into political power.
