Summary

Donald Trump has exempted himself from key ethics guidelines required under the Presidential Transition Act, which he signed into law in 2020.

By rejecting federal funding for his transition team, Trump avoids donor limits and disclosure requirements, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and transparency.

Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and government watchdogs, warn that Trump’s refusal to submit an ethics plan undermines accountability and could open the door to corruption.

This move marks a break from precedent and has sparked alarm over potential personal enrichment during his presidency.

    What does any of this have to do with Biden?

      Did you forget your original comment?

      Shit now there’s nothing stopping him from doing immoral undemocratic stuff like pardoning his children.

      Or did you bring up “pardoning his children” right after Biden pardoned his son for an entirely unrelated reason?
