Conflict of interest isn’t a strong enough description. This is corruption.



The genius move by Trump is doing full on corruption out in the open leaves people confused. Full corruption, foreign brides/influence, blatant political favors are the norm now. I remember when the MAGAs complained about Hilary's emails and Hunter on the board of some company. Now we have a full on corruption out in the open and no one gives a shit.


This is the true secret of American government, though. We do everything that every other corrupt government does, except we've managed to legalize it.


You used to hide it better too.


I mean they’re just copying this model off the Russians.
