In the latest unhinged display of full-blown Trump Derangement Syndrome, far-left Connecticut Democrat Senator Chris Murphy has crossed into pure conspiracy theory territory.

Murphy is now suggesting that President Donald Trump is being paid by the Iranian regime.

Murphy took to the Senate floor this week for yet another unhinged rant, this time claiming the first 500 days of President Trump’s second term have been defined by “nuclear-grade corruption” and self-dealing.

He painted the White House as a “24/7 corruption operation” and warned that Trump’s strategy is to flood the zone with so many stories that the public tunes out.

Here’s Murphy in his own words:

“Over the last year and a half, our president, Donald Trump, has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis, and we should start acting like it. The president’s goal is to engage in so much corruption, so much self-enrichment, to hand out so many favors to his friends, his family, and his political allies, that it just becomes the pitter patter of rain. It’s normal. It’s constant. It’s neverending. Trump’s bet is that if there is a new story of corruption, of self-dealing every few days, that the press will stop covering it, or the public will just stop paying attention.

To an extent, he is, tragically, succeeding.

[..]

So, I think it’s time to pull back and see the full picture, to not view this as just one isolated scandal after another, every single one popping up each week or every few days, but to understand the full scope of the illegality.

Last year, I came to the floor to document the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s mind-blowing corruption. Since then, especially in 2026, the pace of his misconduct has quickened, dramatically. And so I am here on the floor today, and I’m going to spend more than a few minutes doing this, laying out what has happened since I gave that last speech. This is the story of the last 500 days of corruption.

[…]

On September 18th, though, we come to find out that Trump made $57 million selling crypto tokens to entities associated with the regimes in North Korea, Iran, and Russia – extraordinary investments being made by entities that are tied in with North Korea, Iran, and Russia into Trump’s crypto companies. It begs the question as we are currently debating an Iran deal that basically exists on Iran’s terms, why was there a flood of money from Iranian regime-backed entities into the Trump crypto companies? Why were they putting that investment in? What did they expect to get from the president?

We’ve never, ever before had this exist. We’ve never had a backdoor mechanism by which foreign governments could just shovel money into the pocket of the president. It exists because of the Trumps, Trump’s memecoin and his stablecoin.”

INSANE!
