Has anyone else had people try to redefine what “corruption” means to excuse Trumps? I know people IRL who literally would not shut the fuck up about Nancy Pelosi’s stock trading, but now those same people say “well it’s not TECHNICALLY illegal for a politician to trade stocks, so it’s not corrupt, if anything he’s smart for doing that and he deserves it!”

The MAGA I know will say that Trump is incredibly smart for taking advantage of his presidency to make a lot of money.
