That's fair to say, but lacks details.

Most of Trump's public statements are done through a company that he owns. That same company charges a modest $100,000 per month for early access to his posts; just straight up facilitating insider trading for the President's personal profit. Plus people might find the administration making decision in their favor while paying the $100,000 a month.

There's also Trumpcoin through which people can transfer money to the President. This just happens in the open. Remember when Trump had personal 1-on-1 meetings with the top Trumpcoin holders? I remember.

I've barely scratched the surface here. Trump's personal worth has increased $3,000,000,000 during his second term, so far.

Corruption has existed before, but it has never been this out in the open.

Which can only probably be a benefit. If the corruption is this blatant and bad maybe the next swing around the pendulum there is less because people realize how much it's bad.

Is secret corruption or open corruption worse? It's an interesting question; each has unique cons.

I will say that open corruption is only better if people recognize it as corruption. The people in my life do not know about the things I mentioned, and they don't care to learn about it.

It'll remain bad unless these people face the proper punishment for selling out the country.
