Well, the Trump family seems to be going out of its way to make all this look like small potatoes.

And neither of those historical episodes involved either president personally enriching themselves like Trump has.
Trump has used his second tilt at the presidency to engineer immunity for himself from any consequences for this corruption.

Or is this simply a strange power that Trump and only Trump is capable of?. »
