“The fish rots from the head”: a historian on the unique corruption of Trump’s White House

[hazlnut]

Brilliant piece.

A must read.

“Politicians lie, but this is different,” says a historian who studies presidential history and estimates the Trump administration easily ranks among the most corrupt in American history.

Robert Dallek is a presidential historian and the author of several books, including his latest about FDR titled Franklin Roosevelt: A Political Life. Writing recently for the Guardian, Dallek lamented the “disaster” that is the Trump presidency but also reminded readers that American democracy is surprisingly resilient and has survived far worse.

Despite Trump’s promises to “drain the swamp,” the first year of his administration has been plagued by resignations, investigations, and scandals. Dallek estimates that historical examples of corruption, like that of the Warren G. Harding administration, don’t hold a candle to how Trump and his people have conducted themselves in the White House.

History will judge Trump, and it will not be kind.

History already judged Hillaryous and she sucked.

Now you trot out a moron who thought FDR was a wizard and is a Socialist who writes for the Guardian?

Give me a break. Our economy is starting to boom because consumer confidence is skyrocketing.

And you have a half baked collusion theory.
