Trump just directed the DOJ to stop enforcing an anti-corruption law prohibiting corporations from bribing foreign governments.
Tasked with implementing this order is none other than former corporate lobbyist, and current AG, Pam Bondi.
It's open season for corruption.

And if Trump's tariffs go through, farmers will be in even more dire straits.
