Daily reminder, Jimmy Carter willingly sold his peanut farm because his morality told him of his own viewpoints that it may be seen as unfair for a President to own business interests while serving the most important role of government. Which in his mind may come off as corrupt.
We now have a president who see's his name as a brand. That's where we've gone.
Well, that and he was complying with the Emoluments Clause. You know, that thing that should've seen Trump impeached on Inauguration Day -- 2017, not even just 2025!
People are forgetting too that this is just a job that he can be fired from. The SCOTUS and Republicans can fire him at any moment, but they aren't. These middle managers suck.
They're complicit. You don't fire a boss because some people don't like them, you fire a boss when you don't like them.
What a state of affairs we're in...
FTFY
It's much worse than that, he's actively exploiting his position in government for personal gain. They have a gold Trump credit card that advertises that it's "an official website of the US government".
Worse than that, he's hosting $1M a plate dinners for "access" and attendees get things like pardons for their family members or government approval of business deals after paying these bribes.
Land of the free!*
* but only if you're rich enough
and that's why president carter was the last great and decent president the us has had.
And it would just be Jimmy's Peanuts in the end. Nothing more, nothing less. Opposed to this cheap gold platted shit Trump keeps trying to sell...
