During what can be framed as 'Corruption Week,' the Trump administration has engaged in a series of actions that undermine ethical governance. Key actions included pardoning former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, suspending the prosecution of New York Mayor Eric Adams despite bribery allegations, and firing the head of the Office of Government Ethics. Furthermore, the administration ceased enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, allowing businesses to bribe foreign officials with fewer repercussions. These developments point toward a disturbing trend within U.S. governance under Trump's influence, emphasizing a potential normalization of corrupt practices.
Trump's administration has effectively legalized bribery, as evidenced by pardoning convicted corrupt officials, halting prosecutions, and dismantling ethical oversight, all while promoting personal agendas.
In a striking series of events, the Trump administration seems to promote a disturbing trend where bureaucracy is undermined, ethical standards are modulated, and accountability for corruption wanes.
