Donald Trump is open for business and accepting all sorts of emoluments. The decision by several media companies to settle frivolous lawsuits in Trump's favor is both supplication and bribe. That Musk is doing it is just perfect. Since the basic premise of all Republican policy since Reagan is "the gubmint is c'rupt" which is just their way of saying that spending money on people is wrong, especially if they are of dusky hue, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.
When Republican politicians are corrupt, it's simply a self-fulfilling prophecy. That Trump has reached out to help corrupt Democrats like Eric Adams is just game recognizing game.
However, in the past, we have assumed that eventually the corrupt will pay for their crimes. It is why corruption has always been remarkably rare in America since the Watergate era. Trump will never pay for his crimes, and it is best if we all assimilate that stark fact so that we will not be surprised when he skates free.
He will die one day and all that filthy lucre will not matter one bit.
