Unprecedented Corruption at the Top
Paul Krugman: Remember all the news reports suggesting, without evidence, that the Clinton Foundations fund-raising created conflicts of interest? Well, now the man who benefited from all that innuendo is on his way to the White House. And hes already giving us an object lesson in what real conflicts of interest look like, as authoritarian governments around the world shower favors on his business empire.
Of course, Donald Trump could be rejecting these favors and separating himself and his family from his hotels and so on. But he isnt. In fact, hes openly using his position to drum up business. And his early appointments suggest that he wont be the only player using political power to build personal wealth. Self-dealing will be the norm throughout this administration. America has just entered an era of unprecedented corruption at the top.
