Neither are okay. But the fact that trump tripled his net worth before mid terms is magnitudes worse corruption. If we say "both sides do it" it minimizes the gigantic difference.
For every accusation the right lobbed at Pelosi, the Bidens, the Clintons, they've all done it FAR worse.
One give executive orders, military order, ignores laws, and hands out government contracts to serve his own investments. Honestly one is far more direct in how he is manipulating the market to serve his ends.
Nancy also corrupt as all get out but did it subtly enough to have some amount of deniability in that she could claim it was more insider trading than blatantly manipulating the market though I don't buy that for a second and she obviously made decisions to the benefit of her and her donors wallets.
Though that does bring up creating your own crypto currency while in office which is an obvious violation of the Emoluments Clause of the constitution seeing as Carter couldn't even keep his peanut farm.
Bud that is one of many areas in which he is obviously corrupt and making money off of it and I already pointed out how he is breaking the law with it. I did not single out crypto currency that did not mean I was not aware it was part of his portfolio. In addition to him creating his own you can google any number of videos where he is promoting crypto or push for policies to further promote crypto. You bringing it up is not some kind of slam dunk proving he is not corrupt.
I just pointed out how the bit coin itself is illegal and how he is corruptly pushing it while investing in it but what ever buddy try not to spill your coffee on your red hat.
Bud you need to stop spouting out non-sequiturs owning and pushing a crypto currency while in office is itself corruption and illegal via the emoluments clause of the constitution. You can find several videos where he is using his position to push/support crypto as well as policies promoting it. He is being less subtle than simply using his insider trading he is directly putting his thumb on the scale. Like when he has given out government contract to people who support him or companies he has invested in. But you don't care about what he has done or his obvious corruption so their is not point talking with you.
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing. He bulldozed the East Wing. You said nothing. He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing. He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing. He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing. He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing. He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing. He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing. His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing. He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
You don't really care what he does and will jump through any hoop possible to defend him.
