In Trump’s WH, Everything’s For Sale, Especially ‘Dirty Donnie’s’ Conscience!
Trump 2.0 corruption is bigger and badder
MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell has nicknamed President Donald Trump “Donnie Two-Dolls” because of his rambling speech about cutting down on children’s toys. However, a more appropriate nickname for Trump is “Donnie Sticky Fingers.”
Trump was corrupt during his first term. Do you remember his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, getting a $2.2 billion investment from Saudi monarch Mohammed bin Salman? Also, Trump frequently went on vacation to his golf courses and charged the government for it. (He’s doing this again.) But like most sequels, the corruption is worse this time around.
Mango Mussolini shocked many Americans when he announced he was going to accept a customized jet worth $400 million from Qatar. This coincided with Trump‘s first foreign visit to the Middle East.
Donnie’s Magical Corruption Tour
The oil sheikhs are famous for their lavish gifts, and Trump is a willing acceptor of these baubles, even though the government prohibits this. Any gifts received during a foreign trip are supposed to be turned over to the US government, but like Donnie Sticky Fingers, cares about that!
