What we are living through is a deliberately constructed fog of lies and grievance with one purpose only: to keep us screaming at each other about bathrooms and brown-skinned invaders while the people writing the checks rob us blind.
We knew he was a thief before he ever ran for election!
Seriously. His mentor was Roy Cohn, who taught him to just skip bills, when you’re rich it costs many too much to collect in court! Trump was stiffed thousands of contractors, employees, and investors.
Even so, his businesses were proven frauds and he lost multiple court cases. But, in USA we are fine with corporate fraud and have been since at least the 1980s. No jail sentences for the suits, at worst they get laughable fines.
This was all well known before he was ever elected. No functioning democracy would allow such an openly vile candidate past the primary… by the time he was elected we were already gone. Obama, Bush Jr., Clinton, and Bush Sr., Reagan, all were a little more corrupt than who came before. Doomed since Carter, in my opinion the last relatively honest President.

I fail to see how e.g. Obama was more corrupt than Reagan or any of the Bushes…
