It’s astonishing how fast our institutions (courts, legislatures, press) have acquiesced to normalizing corruption at the highest levels. Either that or it’s astonishing how long our fundamentally fragile democracy has lasted.
The constitution forbids leveraging public office to make money because doing so degrades public trust in the office, opens you being manipulated by foreign actors who understand your motives, and it fundamentally violates the very idea of government as an entity of service to others.
