My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.

The Social Security Administration is rushing cuts to phone services at the Trump White House's request.
These changes will strain the already struggling Social Security system and could even deprive some people of benefits entirely.
