    Yes, we’re so deep in corruption that somehow this is invisible to people.

    Trump gave his son’s former partner an official role paid for by tax dollars after the son dumped the partner, in what appears to be a “no hard feelings but go away” payoff.

    I get that ambassadorships are one of the most often used for political favors, but this is not even arm’s-length politics, it’s certainly for Trump’s family’s illicit self-interest. A functional government would investigate this at the very least and it would be grounds for scandal, and real political consequences for Trump at best.
