So many politicians take money on the side telling themselves it's just so they can stay in power to focus on "the real issues" which is some variation of whatever moral agenda they're pushing.

It's wild that the world economy is collapsing in no small part because of Peter Navarro, a man who used his own last name as an anagram for a made up fictional expert to add weight to his claims that tariffs are beneficial.
Navarro or Ron Vara? Will the real US trade adviser please stand up?
In his 2011 book Death by China, Peter Navarro, the top trade adviser for US President Donald Trump, used a fictional scholar named “Ron Vara”—an anagram of “Navarro”—to add weight to his claim that “...
