It's hilarious how the right always accused the left of shady, backroom corruption when Trump's corruption is just right there out in the open.

I disagree with the sentence "The potential for corruption is off the charts." because it implies it hasn't happened yet.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9vmym2jvy9o He hawked $TRUMP just before inauguration. Someone pumped a bunch of money in, and then it became another shitcoin.

Do you remember Biden saying "time to buy BidenBucks? I promise you can spend them just like real bucks."

In the old days to get rich politicians would need to something like establish a "charity" that hired their friends, or write a "memoir" that mysteriously had 2 million copies sold, but there was gigantic skimming by all the middlemen and legitimate employment for the booksellers and publishing houses and charity employees.
