Pretending Trump Wants to Stop Corruption Is the GOP’s Most Insulting Lie Yet

Photo: Nicholas Kamm/AFP via Getty Images And now Republicans have arrived, at last, at their final defense. Sure, President Trump may have demanded Ukraine investigate his domestic rivals, and sure, there may have been some kind of conditional that-for-that trade that could be summarized in a Latin phrase. But it’s all okay because Trump was trying to root out corruption. He said so himself.

The Republican Party is on the precipice of endorsing Trump’s claim that he has an “absolute right” to push any country to investigate corruption. He just has to “honestly” believe, or at least claim to honestly believe, that the alleged corruption is real. In reality, of course, there’s no reason whatsoever to believe that Trump has any sincere interest in rooting out corruption per se. In any context other than discrediting his political rivals, Trump’s stance on corruption ranges from total lack of concern to active encouragement. He has openly stated that he believes the attorney general can and should cover up actual crimes by a president.

jonathanchait And Schiff is an honorable truth telling congressmen. The left hasn’t been hunting for anything possible to oust POTUS. DC aristocracy doesn’t think they know better than the electorate (treasonous) MSM isn’t biased and the Dems don’t feed them talking points. Shall we continue?

Trump says he wants to keep Syria's oil. Here's the problemPresident Trump has ordered U.S. forces to secure oil fields in northeastern Syria and has said the United States will keep the oil. But there was never that much oil in Syria, and nearly a decade of civil war has badly damaged the country's capacity to exploit it. He wants to secure it so ISIS doesn't get access to it, then use the money to help the Kurds, and 'keep some for ourselves if that's okay.' Key word here, it's Syria's oil, not ours. Again no respect out of this guy in the white house. What a farce.
