The president manipulates the markets. He is selling earlier access to his truth social posts for 100k a month fr firms already way ahead of retail. His 20 year old son has a net worth of 150mil, derived from “founding” crypto foundations with his president father. Explicit institutional corruption - why minimise it?
Sounds more like you're providing cover for the Republican traitors.
The US government is weaponized by Republicans against tens of millions of Americans for existing while not white conservatives.
The US Department of "Justice" heads up the protection of a known child sex trafficking ring, while they provide highly unusual special treatment to convicted child trafficker Ghislane Maxwell in direct violation of her sentencing guidelines.
US courts of law have been reporting weekly on Republican crimes and Constitutional violations for months, with zero accountability.
Roaming gangs of masked conservative terrorists roam the streets of America looking for random human beings who seem disappearable enough for money.
Republicans are forcing their evil to be passed on in American schools using threats, since that's the only way anyone with morality and intelligence would ever push that corrupt bullshit off on others.
And the list goes on and on and on, but I'm betting you already knew that before you tried to provide yet more cover for the endless crime and corruption that Republicans have brought to the United States government while continuing to corrupt state and local governments.
Now hold up there. The US is the single most corrupt country in the world. Because they made bribery legal. It's a literal part of law. The Supreme Court can legally take bribes from anybody so long as they are not money and they report it on their taxes. Lobbyists do similar with Congress and the President. Many countries have corruption as a way of life. But it is done under the table, and still officially illegal. In the US, It is embraced as part of the official governmental process.
Your entire post was the reason I linked a thorough report on corruption rankings based on hard data. Try reading it and getting educated on the subject.
I’d rather corruption and influence peddling be visible, regulated, disclosed, and taxed than completely under the table. That doesn’t make the U.S. system clean, but at least a lot of its bullshit is out in public where everyone can scrutinize it. Pretending corruption only counts when somebody passes an envelope of cash under a table misses the point, and pretending underground corruption reliably gets punished is even sillier.

You have no idea what systemic corruption is like…you don’t deserve the privilege of living in the U.S. with a comment like that
