Technically, she's wrong.
He's not looting the government with this, but he IS ripping off other investors, and manipulating markets.
But again, people like that. It's what they voted for. And the party of Trump, which is 100% in control, does nothing to stop it.
He has people's support to do it.
I find it incomprehensible, but this is today's America.
“Corruption” is one of these Wall St-friendly liberal banalities in that it means whatever you want it to. Trump’s self-dealing is obscene and worth driving home but trying to persevere and defend a system the public broadly sees as already existentially corrupt is loser shit. https://t.co/8BLMep0FR6

Anti corruption politics without anti establishment and class rhetoric is front row kid stuff and has no juice. The public (correctly) sees all of Washington as a corrupt which is one reason Trump’s unprecedented self dealing solicits a yawn (that and shitty media coverage)
