Donald Trump is corrupt. His felony beliefs of more than three dozen are evidence of that. Trump has a lifelong track record of corrupt behaviour.
Some people thought the Trump administration’s point was authoritarianism. Some thought the point was fascism, but the true purpose of Trump’s administration came to light a week after his term.
The most obvious answer is often the correct answer, and when it comes to Trump, the obvious answer is corruption.
Raskin’s video:
On the face of the CBS people, Senator Raskin laid it out. “The dominant purpose of this administration is corruption and lawlessness. The first thing they did was that they had sacked 17 inspector generals. These were actual corrupt fighters within the department and institutions. These are people who ferret the government worth $91 billion in waste, fraud and abuse.”
“They argue that it is within political power to do so,” said Margaret Brennan of CBS.
Raskin continues:
Ah, it’s not sure it’s, but they plunder them. In fact, doing so in a lawless way is not within the scope of their political power. They must first notify Congress 30 days in advance, and they must provide specific reasons for why the inspector is being fired. They never did that. And of course, the reason is that they want to pursue a corruption agenda all over the place.
They say they have no intention of enforcement. Foreign Corruption Practices Act. They are closing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Consumer Financial Protection Agency has 31 million American consumers inflated their bank overdraft bills, completely inflated credit card deferral fees, not related to actual fees.
They’re removing everything in the government that supports consumers who support their citizens against their friend Ripoff artists.
The purpose of this administration is corruption, and when corruption is inhabited, grafts and theft usually exist.
There’s a lot to talk about authoritarianism, but given Trump’s history, the motivation has always been money. Trump wants free access to engage in corrupt acts like the contract with Eric Adams, who was a terror to get New York City to take part in his immigrant raids.
Trump is trying to consolidate the powers of the administrative sector, but his motivation is corrupt. He’s definitely taking undemocratic measures, but Trump is always only caring about himself and money, and when he encourages the federal government looking for cash, Senator Ruskin said. So, don’t forget that the point of the Trump administration is corruption.
