Nixon was a choirboy compared to the crook in the White House now, who pardoned the Jan 6 Insurrectionists and sold pardons, (if they could pay over a million $), and anything and everything was/is for sale if you have the cash.
Not content to sell Super Hero trading cards, his people created a cryptocurrency with his likeness on it, and the grifter hawked it to donors who bought personal access.
He ended bans that stopped executive branch employees from accepting gifts from lobbyists or seeking lobbying jobs themselves for at least two years.
He loosened the enforcement of laws that curb foreign lobbying and bribery.
He Fired Potential Resisters
He dismissed the head of the office that polices conflicts of interest among senior officials.
He jettisoned the head of the office that, among other things, protects whistle-blowers and ensures political neutrality in federal workplaces.
He purged nearly 20 nonpartisan inspectors general who were entrusted with rooting out corruption within the government.
He Rewarded His Wealthiest Donors
Jared Isaacman, a billionaire with deep tentacles into SpaceX, gave $2 million to the inaugural committee and was nominated to head NASA — SpaceX’s largest customer.
The convicted felon Trevor Milton and his wife donated $1.8 million to the campaign and Mr. Milton received a pardon, which also spared him from paying restitution.
The lobbyist Brian Ballard raised over $50 million for Mr. Trump’s campaign, and Mr. Trump handed major victories to two Ballard clients. He delayed a U.S. ban on China-owned TikTok his first day in office and killed an effort to ban menthol cigarettes, a major priority of tobacco company R.J. Reynolds, on his second.
Mr. Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire who spent $277 million to back Mr. Trump and other Republican candidates, requires his own category, as Trump has rewarded him with BILLIONS bid no-bid government contracts.
If I gotta explain, remove your head from your ass…
