Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin.

Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating.

Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business.

The list goes on.

We must not become numb to this blatant corruption.

The first reporter who tells Trump to GO FUCK HIMSELF when he starts with these deflection insults will be a national hero. Someone get me a press pass. I'll do it.
