It’s even worse than the last time:
The Trump family business released a voluntary ethics agreement Friday that allows it to strike deals with private foreign companies, a move that could help outside actors try to buy influence with the new administration.
The so-called ethics white paper bars the Trump Organization from striking deals directly with foreign governments, but allows ones with private companies abroad, a significant departure from President-elect Donald Trump’s first term. An ethics pact that Trump signed eight years ago barred both foreign government and foreign company deals.
They’re also trying to buy back the lease on the Trump Hotel in DC which they let go a couple of years ago. Why give up all that easy money? Plus MAGA DC needs a club house.
Corruption is no longer an issue, at least until the Democrats take power again. Then the right wing scandal machine will rev up to a thousand and the Democrats will cower in fear. But right now, Trump can be photographed taking bankers boxes full of hundred dollar bills from an Afghan warlord and everyone would just shrug.
