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.
Maybe just maybe you guys should have laws that require this instead of ohbits always been done this way. What a riduclulse country.
Are we having a stronk
Call the Trumpulance?
This is the problem with trying to follow decorum against a fascist.
I mean the universe spent years letting us all know this guy was corrupt as fuck.
Americans voted for corruption.
We WANT corruption.
We’ll be no better than Russia by the end of our lives. And it will have been no one else’s fault but our own.
I appreciate the rare honesty, I guess. Not like it would change anything if he did it.
My brother in Christ you signed the law
Shit now there’s nothing stopping him from doing immoral undemocratic stuff like pardoning his children.
Tell me of all the people Don pardoned.
Lol, trump would do way worse than pardon his kid that was targeted by the doj for something that hardly gets charged in the first place. Trump incites violence, disregards the constitution, is a sexual predator (probably a pedophile) and the list goes on.
Now he did it. IT’S DONE. WE GOT EM. Donald will finally feel the FULL FORCE of our justice system telling him that they are VERY CONCERNED.
Mark your calendars everyone, we have a new holiday.
😂
So he chose not to lie this once. Doesn’t excuse a lifetime of it
Why am I not in the least bit surprised.
We have learned (and are still learning) that precedent doesn’t mean shit
It is spelled “president”
(/a)
It was.
Now it’s Fuhrer.
Okay, I give up. What on earth is /a supposed to mean!? Some sources decode it as “alterous”, but that doesn’t help me either. Is this just a typo of /s?
Probably just a typo
Just a typo, (and fat fingers) but I’m going to say it stands for “ambiguous” because…
Him not signing an ethics pledge is probably the most honest move he did in his lifetime.

The more I see this unfold the more I understand why Trump won. (This is in no way me supporting Trump, the guy deserves the worst this world has to offer!)
Anyways, the establishment and dems are a bunch of toothless liars! If I was some poor chap doing my best to just stay alive in the US I likely also would’ve have lost hope in my vote mattering. Legally speaking, it quite literally doesn’t. The dems regularly shitting on the primaries is a great example of this (and ofc the electoral collage).
Nobody in politics cares about the people. After the 2008 crash, both the reps and dems bailed out all the banks responsible for the mass fraud, while the people that suffered barely got shit.
The vast majority of people didn’t vote and some voted Trump out of desperation, wanting any change at all. It’s fucking sad.
Trump is America’s self-inflicted gunshot wound
And even if it heals, the medical bills will wreck us.
Warren is a good example of someone who does care and I can only recommend her books on the matter. She came from the same place as everyone else and managed to get where she has been for a good while now.
If she’d been president 2016 or any time after that things would’ve looked a lot different, probably globally, I can almost guarantee as much.
Edit: and by different I mean a lot fucking better, to be clear.
You mean Bernie, not Warren. Plus Bernie was winning primaries and insanely more popular than Warren.
If he’s so popular why wasn’t he elected after every primary
Because you don’t live in a democracy. And you don’t get elected after every primary, primaries are held before election to see who is popular. Sanders approval rating is through the roof and has been consistently over the years, easily the most popular senator across the board.
Your answer is the DNC, ain’t that complicated. Sanders won the votes of the people, but the liberals and dems pushed Hillary anyway in 2016, and lost.
Yeah, but she’s not progressive enough for the leftists (plus they hate her for some perceived slight against Bernie), and too left for the moderates.
Opens the door to corruption?
The door was burnt for firewood years ago.
Those alarms already had the copper wire stolen from behind them.
does not matter. americans have a shit education and therrfor are now dumbed down to enjoy a life in idiocracy. and just like last time i am sure hundreds of thousands of the dumbest will die. covid happend when wuhan lover donald was in office and tbis time it is going to be similar. dumb people are a magnet to problems. and the “voter” will love it! some wrestling guy will show them how to treat mpox with cooked rawmilk…it just needs to be a really stupid idea that triggers others. like nobody cares about “the wall” anymore,right? will the fat fuck finish his wall? nope! because retardism is their new religion. i am expecting hulk hogan or kid rock to be in a key position for womensrights, education or something as far out of their mental range as that.
