      And openly accepting a winged bribe from Qatar. It boggles my mind that the better world leaders, including a few US politicians, don’t understand how he operates and get in on the game. Give him money and flattery and he’ll do whatever the hell you want.

      During the first term, I was hopeful that at least they would at least codify the norms into laws but considering the emoluments clause is already in the constitution, I guess nothing really matters, and Republicans will defend him no matter what. I guess I should lower my standards and just hope there is a country left for a corrupt Democrat to be elected who blatantly violates everything, to get the Republicans to set some standards for the office.
