Trump only hires the best?
The culture of corruption that has engulfed the Trump administration is staggering.
The former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, found guilty of eight counts on tax and bank fraud charges. Michael Cohen, his personal lawyer and the ‘fixer’, pleads guilty to eight criminal counts and implicates Trump in his criminal dealings. Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, pleads guilty to lying to the FBI. Rick Gates, Trump’s deputy campaign manager, is now a convicted felon.
Recently, two of Trump’s first supporters, Republican congressmen Chris Collins and Duncan Hunter, have been indicted of financial crimes.
And then there are the resignations: EPA chief Scott Pruitt, who recklessly spent our tax dollars violating several ethics violations; Rob Porter, the high-profile White House staffer who resigned after his ex-wives accused him of physical and emotional abuse; Tom Price, his secretary of health and human services cost us over a million dollars for his unauthorized use of air travel.
There are more of these swamp dwellers to come, I’m sure of it. “Making America Great Again,” but hey, “I only hire the best people” right, President Trump?
