Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' has no funds despite $17bn pledges

politicsMay 27, 2026574,835

Donald Trump's Board of Peace, set up to oversee Gaza reconstruction, shows zero dollars deposited despite $17 billion in pledged commitments. Donors have not flowed money into the Board, no rebuilding projects in Gaza have started, and many contributors are bypassing the World Bank-managed fund. That absence of cash and projects jeopardizes reconstruction timelines and accountability for the $17 billion in promised aid.

The State Department supposedly sent $1.5 billion tax dollars to the Board of Peace slush fund, which is now empty.

Remember when Bill Clinton lost money on a land deal, and it was the biggest financial scandal of the last 100 years?

Not clear if our money was sent at all, or or if it went to the opaque JP Morgan account for ease of future theft, or if it was ever in the public Board of Peace account.

This 👇 is how corruption works! Jan. 22, Trump sues JPMorgan for $5B. Feb. 19, JPMorgan gets Board of Peace contract. Mar. 26, State Dept. diverts $1.25B to the board. May 27, World Bank fund has $0. Money sits in a private JPMorgan account — no oversight. Trump is chairman for life.

Per to the article I read, there's two accounts: a publicly audited World Bank account* and a JP Morgan account. The publicly audited World Bank account is empty, and has always been empty. The secretive account is paying whatever bills get paid and is secretive. *from memory, maybe mislabeled

it's cool how congress has the power of the purse except apparently it doesn't and very few things i learned in school about our government are true.

Jesus! How many billion dollar slush funds does this son of a bitch have?

Let's try and keep track of the fraud for the restitution coming to a site near you. Only constructive comments please.

He stole the fucking money!!

if the rule of law is ever reestablished the elite of forensic accountants will have work for years if not decades to trace the money the MAGA grifters have looted

There was this one time that my spouse left a piece of cheese out on the counter, and when we finally noticed it, the cheese had a notch in it which was the exact size and shape of a cat's tongue. Not sure why I just thought of that. Must be a coincidence.

We definitely need to follow the $$$ on this one. Did they send the money? If so, where? And where is it now? This isn't pocket change!

Another thing to add to the pile I want to drop on anyone who said we couldn’t afford covering healthcare or forgiving student loans

Since Board of Peace is not a govt funded project, funding them without Congress is illegal.

rebeccaamccoy.bsky.social3

That whole fund was questionable from the start because Trump controls everything about it for life and can choose his own successor when necessary. And of course it has nothing to do with peace. Complete joke that the State Department sent $1.5 billion dollars to a fund under those parameters.

Why would any sane person give Trump a penny and expect to get anything back? The fund is empty because nobody trusts Trump. And, now, nobody trusts the United States.

Jesse Aaron Zinn12

And this doesn't even cover all the scams. What about the contractors he stiffed? And let's not forget the Trump Foundation, the sham charity. apnews.com/general-news...

The ballroom, the data centers, the tariffs, the war, the slush-fund, the promotion of AI, the attack on free speech, the attack on voting rights, the dismantling of agencies designed to protect us, the elevation of the oligarchy...all of it and so much more. The breaking point has been reached.

Trump isn’t stupid. The money could be anywhere. Has anyone bothered to ask any of the people in this picture if they actually gave Trump $1B yet?

Add Trump Truth Social which brought in $870,000 in Q1 while losing $405,000,000.

Sure, but have you heard about the Trump Gold Card? youtube.com/shorts/74tta...

Scams and failures: the Trump legacy.

Not once has that child rapist ever done a positive thing for anyone other than himself. Lie, cheat and steal is his life motto.

When you elect a conman and grifter as president you get what you asked for

... and that is how the scam ends for Trump ....

Steve Atlas5

The gold TrumpPhone is another of his failures. TNR: "Instead, it’s receiving donations through its JPMorgan account, which has no transparency or reporting requirements."

Have we gotten the name for the (new/pending) Air Force 1 yet? 😏

Perhaps we can get the DSM-6 to add “tRump” as part of the dx criteria for PTSD? Anyone?

@GotDiva3

Has the money been Crypto/laundered directly to TrumpBank?

LD Hornung3

I really think he meant “Bored” of Peace. Not “Board”.

Michael Higgins3

Funny how that happens with this commander and thief

Solisette3

But of course. We know what we have here, posing as President. They do, too.

Tru dat! Forgot about his lol Board of Peace. Peace? At least he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. He shot at fishing boats in the Caribbean. Threaten the sovereignty of 🇨🇦, 🇲🇽, 🇬🇱 🇩🇰. Illegally invaded 🇻🇪. Illegal war with 🇮🇷. Threaten Panama & now 🇨🇺. FIFA gave the war monger a Peace Prize....

Also... all the insider trading that is going on.

Trump probably stole the money!

Wait there was a Trump mattress? 😂. Was it as lumpy as the mypillow pillows?

The fund for Trump’s Board of Peace is empty and the organisation is stuck in a legal and political limbo that has held up projects to rebuild Gaza. Trump described the board, which solicited $1bn “lifetime membership” fees from world leaders and received $7bn in pledges, as “consequential”
