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 think we here all know why Biden had to pardon his son: because Trump and the republican cabal would sooner crucify him to fire up the rubes, than address any needful issues this country has. As far as conservatives are concerned, Biden’s son IS Biden, and they would deal out “pay back” for Trump’s felony convictions. It’s conservative tribalism.
But as far as conservatives will figure, it’s just “both sides” at best and “corrupt joe” at worst.
