Paul Waldman: “There may never be a better time to run on questions of corruption. Trump’s actions in his second term are truly mind-boggling: from the gold-plated ballroom and the slush fund for insurrectionists to the way the administration is slashing regulation around crypto and prediction markets while the Trump family benefits from them, to the $400 million plane Qatar gifted Trump, to the government contracts given to companies with ties to Trump’s sons, to the Gulf emirates pouring money into Trump family firms.”
