Trump is only focused on leading a government that puts money in his and his billionaire donors' pockets.
As Americans struggle with higher costs across the board, he's asking SCOTUS to freeze full SNAP benefits again.
Does it get more cruel than this?

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

To recap—the only nation that’s ever used nuclear weapons on civilians, is backing a nation that has 200 nuclear weapons yet denies their existence, to threaten a nation that doesn’t have any nuclear weapons with annihilation if it doesn’t unconditionally surrender its sovereignty

My annual compliance training tells me this is explicit corruption and against policy.
No one, especially a country, just gifts someone a jet. People in power do deals with others in power for something all the time. That is classic quid pro quo.

Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.
