I think corruption happens long ago before Trump. I’m thinking more on the inequality of wealth and how a smaller percentage of people takes a bigger share of the wealth since I don’t know when. Trump is in fact the symptom of that corruption and part of the reason people elected him. But he definitely makes it worse especially in his second presidency.

Nowadays super riches run the show and even the illusion of democracy is gone.

Another thought: many political elites are probably waiting and pushing for Trump to fail to take over. It is us who are going to suffer.
