There’s more to Trump’s corruption than stealing money
Donald Trump's recent actions have raised concerns about corruption and the transformation of the U.S. political system. His self-dealing and profit-making from high office have become defining aspects of his presidency. This shift threatens to replace the rule of law with a system based on personal favor and relationships.
- ▪Trump created a $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' supervised solely by him as part of a settlement for a bogus lawsuit against the IRS.
- ▪He has immunized himself, his family, and his business interests from IRS audits as part of this settlement.
- ▪Trump made 3,700 stock trades in the first quarter of this year, often before major policy decisions affecting the companies involved.
