Corrupt

Newsweek: Trump is Leading the Most Corrupt Administration in U.S. History, One of First-Class Kleptocrats By Alexander Nazaryan
But according to the presidential historian Robert Dallek, no American leader has acted with more unadulterated self-interest as Trump. Dallek says that in terms of outright corruption, Trump is worse than both Ulysses S. Grant and Warren G. Harding, presidents who oversaw the most flagrant instances of graft in American political history.

Openly corrupt and not even trying to make excuses for it.

Funny thing, someone was telling me today that America needed to see its gross underbelly shadow. When you think of Trump, he is literally about as screwed up as it can get. He's materialistic beyond belief, he's without empathy, compassion, kindness, not a drop of it. He's soul-less. He's an egomaniac with very little actual knowledge of important matters of history and protocol in all directions including the law, politics, you name it. He lies all the time, he's vile, and his administration is corrupt and damaging. He's a nightmare in all directions. He's not even honorable. He's a malignancy on the population in all ways. That he would also be leading a corrupt bunch of grifters is simply part of it and logical. How else could it be? The issue as far as I can tell, is this, will America rise above Trump and will we do better as a country into the future post-Trump. It's not a guarantee, it's pretty shaky actually, but it is possible.
