For generations, U.S. presidents have gone to great lengths to avoid potential conflicts of interest. When I was elected, I followed suit by placing my small business in a blind trust to assure our citizens that I would always put the country’s interests ahead of my own. It’s a vital presidential tradition. That’s why I find it a bit curious that our new commander-in-chief has been allowed to ignore it.

    It was a different time, when leaders had principles, morals, and basic humanity. Nowadays we prefer soulless corrupt psychopaths to brutalise us while feathering their own nest.

        I really dislike when people say “we”. I did not vote for the orange man.
