For all the corruption he has enabled, enacted, and exercisedthat we know ofthere likely remains more to be rooted out. After all, as Trump sees it, the government does not exist to defend the people from killer viruses or foreign attempts to subvert American democracy. It exists to protect and serve him. (The use of federal security forces to violently clear away peaceful protesters so Trump can hold a meaningless photo-op was a clear example of Trump-uber-alles statism.) That is the core corruption of his presidency. It is manifested in minor acts of sleaze (buy Ivankas stuff!), major acts of policy (lets kill regulations for industries that donate to us), and monumental decisions with immediate life-or-death consequences for thousands of Americans (dont warn of a pandemic because that could screw up my reelection). Graft, grift, and greed have beenand always will bea problem in government. But with Trump, corruption kills.
