    Default Trump had the most unethical presidency in history

    Donald Trump presidency 'most unethical in modern history', report finds



    Donald Trump presidency 'most unethical in modern history', report finds

    'It has long since become clear that our initial concerns — and those of so many Americans — were well founded. Indeed, in retrospect they were understated'
















    Donald Trump has led the “most unethical presidency” in US history, according to a scathing report by a government ethics watchdog.

    Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) accused the US President of conflating matters of public interest with decisions that “benefit his bottom line”.


    Authors said a “failure to address this crisis” could cause “lasting harm to the country”, one year on from Mr Trump’s inauguration.



    “The Trump administration is confronted by an extraordinary scale and scope of legal and ethics scandals. It is unrivalled in the modern era, and perhaps in the history of the nation, for a first-year administration.

    “The conduct of this administration, from the president on down, threatens our centuries-old tradition of a government that functions to serve the interests of the American people, rather than to serve the interests of those in power.”

    The 36-page report also stated a president “sets the tone” for an administration, and the numerous scandals that have followed Mr Trump since his election campaign have “spread like a cancer” throughout his executive branch.

    Again and again, President Trump violates moral and ethical norms with corrupt decisions. This is only the latest example.

    In March 2017, I was speaking to a group of government officials from Latin America about government anti-corruption tools. I have conducted dozens of these sessions over the years for foreign officials and have always proudly touted the strength of the U.S. anti-corruption regime.
    This time, however, it was different. Donald Trump had just been elected president and had announced that he would not divest from his business interests. Indeed, several months prior to this training session, Trump had proudly claimed that "the president can’t have a conflict of interest.” I had just finished describing our federal ethics regime as “strong” when the entire group broke out in laughter. The officials laughing during this presentation were from a country with endemic, deep-rooted and well-known corruption issues. And yet here they were — laughing at the state of U.S. ethics laws.

    I learned today, thanks to our wise teacher.... That Piece of Shit Woman,...that ALL nations contained on the African continent are Banana republics. Yet another example of how the left REALLY views the world.

    In other words, it's nothing more than an opinion by Trump haters. Meaningless, much like your existence.

    Trump people love to be outraged. It raises their pulses and lends excitement to otherwise miserably boring lives
    in rural parts around the country. So they listen to Fox and talk radio local morons spewing hate. And they assimilate
    that into their beliefs systems resulting in the utter BS and information void schlock we read here, with no decent education
    to mediate it's influence using critical thinking skills.
