Truth be told...Trump is pretty much an "asset" for anyone who pays. Saudi's, Emiratis and AIPAC pay a lot more than Putin.
I mean...this is a spoiled rich kid that was handed over $600 million by his father, screwed much of it up and ended up renting out his TV and tabloid name to gangsters and hustlers for a piece of the action. Why would he run America any differently? bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
#Quidproquo in its ancient sense meant substituting something considered valuable with something of lesser value. Trump is renting out America's troops, suppressing democratic/legal values and destroying our government in exchange for something of value. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quid_pro_…
He is destroying moral standards, hobbling the DoJ/State/Intel and enriching his own consumer brand to appease Netanyahu, fire opponents of Putin, promote dictators like MBZ/MBS and weaken America for the benefit of our enemies. Why? There is no profit in doing the right thing
Service to country, fidelity to friends and loved ones, trust in and by voters, Charity in thought and action, beauty in words, deals and execution, strength and grace under pressure, etc etc ...none of these concepts have profit or self interest embedded. goodmenproject.com/ethics-values/…
America wants to believe that one good man or woman can run this nation. But they can't. We have created a quid pro quo political system that demands stunning amounts of cash, self interest and backroom deals to win a two party election. Election reform should be on our minds.
Who gets to run for President. Why does it cost a billion dollars? Why don't most people vote and why do only two almost identical parties shape political thought? Plenty of things need to be fixed. brennancenter.org/issues/reform-…
The Venal Grasp of the Trump Clan will either be the end or the beginning of a new American era. Will we reject incompetence, self dealing, perfidy and foulness in character or as Marcus Aurelius said will we “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
