Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day."

Trump has taken a sledgehammer to government ethics by:
-Rescinding Biden's EO outlining ethics commitments for political appointees
-Firing 18 federal inspectors general
-Launching a self-enriching crypto coin
This will be the most corrupt administration in history.
