By electing Trump and then allowing him to serve in office with his multiple and varied conflicts of interest, the underlying idea that elected officials should not be able to privately benefit from their actions as ostensible public servants is dead and buried. The precise details have ceased to matter.
Like much of the other rot in our government this century, this is making explicit what was previously widely practiced but deniable. And it is a major step in the wrong direction. One of many we have seen and will continue to see under the Trumpublican regime.
I should really stop worry about how to save the country and start putting more effort into getting out of it.
