Donald Trump Working To Make Corruption Great Again

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has spent his first three weeks in office making corruption easier, for him and anyone else with any degree of power.

The Donald Trump administration has been mired in corruption from the get-go. In his first three weeks in office, Trump has fired the head of the Office of Government Ethics, pardoned a former Illinois governor convicted of trying to sell a U.S. Senate seat, and stopped the enforcement of an anti-bribery law.

His Justice Department also ordered prosecutors to drop charges against Eric Adams, who has been indicted on bribery and fraud counts, even as they conceded the decision had little to do with the strength of the evidence against the New York City mayor, who has cozied up to Trump.

But what might be the most brazen scheme to enrich himself that Trump has cooked up is a virtual “coin” that does not involve a building or wait staff or maids or any of the costs associated with a hotel. Instead, people the world over, including foreign nations seeking his favor, have the ability to buy millions of dollars, tens of millions, or more of his “$TRUMP” digital coins.

Since Trump and his partners own most of the unsold coins, an increase in market value inures to Trump’s benefit, while the act of buying them generates immediate cash. A recent New York Times analysis found that the Trump family and its partners have already made nearly $100 million from trading fees, regardless of what happens to the value of the digital coin.

Anyone can buy these crypto coins, putting money in Trump’s pocket — and there is no way for the public to know about any of this. If you wanted to make bribery effortless, this is the way to go.
