Summary
Donald Trump has exempted himself from key ethics guidelines required under the Presidential Transition Act, which he signed into law in 2020.
By rejecting federal funding for his transition team, Trump avoids donor limits and disclosure requirements, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and transparency.
Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and government watchdogs, warn that Trump’s refusal to submit an ethics plan undermines accountability and could open the door to corruption.
This move marks a break from precedent and has sparked alarm over potential personal enrichment during his presidency.
I don’t know why, but most of the world voting their political parties into power is trending to the conservative right not towards the progressive left.
“Most of the world” isn’t voting at all. And that is how the right wing gains power.
The trend is technically voting out the establishment - trying something new out of desperation. Unfortunately, the extreme right is more than willing to pretend that they have a solution. Usually, it’s to blame the other and promise to get rid of the other. You know, Nazi shit.
Technology has enabled the centralization of power and wealth in an unprecedented way. Also Russian influence campaigns, for the same reason.
You know that old saying, “every accusation is a confession”? When conservatives all over the world started getting hysterical about the WEF, I think what we all needed to be looking at was the IDU.
