Arguably, President Trump is the most corrupt president in U.S. history.

He certainly is the most corrupt president in my 74 years. In addition to his sale of White House memorabilia, his cryptocurrency corruption, his “reallocation” of $1.25 billion of our money for his Board of Peace, the “pay to play” oligarchs who surround him, his stock market purchases relying on his financial policy decisions and the pardons he’s been paid for, he had the nerve to sue our IRS for $10 billion for a contractor’s allowing Trump’s confidential tax returns to be made public.

Most presidents share their financial information when they run for office. Most presidents put their financial portfolio into abeyance to avoid a conflict of interest. Not Donald Trump. The lawsuit would likely have been thrown out. There’s no precedent for suing oneself, e.g., being both plaintiff and defendant, government responsibility for a contractor’s work, etc. So, Trump’s former private attorney, now acting attorney general, gets Trump a settlement of $1.776 billion of our money for his allies, who were harmed by the former “weaponized” Department of Justice.

It’s likely that much of this money will end up inside Trump’s pocket. Trump once said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it politically. This is a blatant equivalent of that act. He’s not even hiding the corruption any more.
