This. And I've been saying that to people around me for a while now. If you don't play by the rules, or rather, if you keep pushing the envelope of what's permissible, you've lost honor. Wall street, Right wing politics, and Big business are the main offenders.

But what allowed (allows) Trump to do what he does are the Republican congress who have lost their honor, and so we watch the whole system unravel.
