On Monday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order pausing enforcement of a key tool in fighting international bribery, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
In his executive order, Trump argued that not allowing companies to participate in billions of dollars in international bribery “actively harms American economic competitiveness and, therefore, national security.”
The law has been on the books for over 47 years and was put in place after a series of scandals involving major corporations paying off public officials took place around the world. Perhaps most notable of these scandals was Watergate, where former President Richard Nixon extorted money from big businesses for a campaign slush fund, then directed his administration to turn a blind eye to abuses by many of those same companies.
Trump is the first convicted felon to serve as president and is making great strides toward helping out his fellow law breakers.
The country elected a convicted felon. A convicted felon that stole from children's, and veterans charities. This is what we can expect from this common criminal going forward. There will eventually be a reckoning for it. But our national reputation has been ruined to the rest of the world, and this doesn't matter to the criminals enriching themselve's at the expense of everyone else. And everyone who died defending the Constitution has now had their graves pissed on by Trump and his billionaire friends. But hey, they were all just suckers and losers to him anyway right?
