Trump’s Slush Fund

Jonathan Bernstein: “It may not be the worst Trump story of the last 24 hours… There’s increasing evidence that he’s been purchasing stocks and then using the presidency to increase their value. Then there’s his incoherent Iran actions – let’s not call his impulses a ‘strategy.’ And then there’s how his incoherent China ‘policy’ has been hurting the US and endangering Taiwan. The slush fund might be worse than those, but I’m not really sure.”

“Yes, this is Trump essentially stealing money from the US treasury to give out to his friends, allies, or perhaps just to himself. That’s what this is.”
