The Swamp That Trump Built

"A businessman-president transplanted favor-seeking in Washington to his family’s hotels and resorts — and earned millions as a gatekeeper to his own administration."

Long, exhaustively researched and detailed piece:

This is without a doubt the most blatant and largest case of Presidential corruption in US history. Absolutely sickening. Republicans need to wake the fuck up.

The President's jawdropping corruption exposed by the NYTimes today is really clarifying. It clears away a lot of the fog around this creepy man and just shows he is deeply corrupt-- basically shows he is taking bribes in exchange for granting favors with US government policy decisions. It's OUTRAGEOUS AND CRIMINAL AND HE NEEDS TO GO

1. And half the country does not care, for some reason that I cant explain.

But if it were Barack or Hillary, BLOOD ON EVERY STREET guaranteed

2. I can explain, no problem. He's THEIR crook.

And thanks to several decades of programming by RW Propaganda (I mean 'media'), they actually believe both sides do it, because they actually believe all the bullshit that they've been told the left has done.

5. His base is deeply deluded and still think Hillary and Obama were super corrupt

when obviously they were about as clean as you could want.

Independents probably care to some extent but 1) the news of his corruption is overshadowed by all the chaos, 2) they don't see it framed in the news in the stark terms it deserves.

It's maddening.

3. Exactly why congress must reinstate the Independent Prosecutor

If Biden appoints an Independent Prosecutor, that will free his administration to focus on passing legislation to help the American people without distraction.
