No, this is far from the status quo for US government, it is not ordinary corruption, nor is it going to stop here.

Trump and associates have used the machinery of state to attack their enemies, attacked and belittled the judiciary while trying to subvert it, and demanded fealty from large businesses under threat of destroying them. It is unprecedented, reckless and a very dangerous moment, unfortunately not just the US has to live with the consequences.

If you think it is business as usual you need to do some reading of history, specifically a century ago in Germany.
