White House Destruction: A Symbol of Corruption and Erosion of Standards
The demolition of the White House’s East Wing, along with the construction of a lavish ballroom, symbolizes a troubling trend of executive corruption. President Trump is using his position to benefit from corporate donors, blurring ethical lines and transforming the government into a vehicle for self-interest. This brazen behavior is facilitated by a political system that no longer prioritizes curbing corruption, as evidenced by weakened regulations and court decisions like Citizens United. The response from both parties has been inadequate, highlighting the pervasive influence of the same corrupt corporate oligarchy that funds Trump, ultimately showcasing a blatant disregard for ethical governance.
