Your typical corrupt career politician ends up being a multi-millionaire. But with someone that's a billionaire already and has investment projects that are worth billions, the bribes simply get larger. And this administration has had the most millionaires. And as Trump has made no intention to put his wealth into a blind trust (which is understandable as his wealth isn't just savings) but even more dubious is the role of his family with the case of Jared and Ivanka in such positions in the White House. That some Jared needs a billion or so in financing his family investments opens a door for corruption on a totally different level that ordinarily seen. When you look at how much preferential treatment suddenly Trump ventures outside the US have gotten...C-Mag wrote:I 'd like ssu explain this, because the Most Corrupt level would put Trump in some lofty company for our Republic.
And of course, Trump has absolutely no intent to do anything about it. Drain the swamp was just an empty chant that he was suprised that it got the people excited. Even if he signed that degree on ban on lobbyists, Trump has hired many lobbyists to key government positions and the administration has to have at least 24 ethics waivers to key administration officials at the White House and executive branch agencies.
But yeah, Likely the Bush administration likely was even more corrupt as the whole scheme of "rebuilding Iraq" was on simply such a huge scale that other administrations pale in comparison.
Yet I thinks it's silly to act as if this administration would be doing anything to combat corruption.
