536. Is Trump’s Corruption Machine Reaching New Extremes?
"Trump's corruption is partly about flooding the zone. There's so much of it going on that one can barely keep up. Any single one of these things would have been enough to lead to the resignation of a leader in any other country."
Hosts Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart examined Trump's corruption, arguing it surpasses all previous US presidents including Grant and Harding. They detailed how Trump exploits private sector relationships, crypto investments, and foreign governments to enrich himself and family members, citing examples like Qatar's $400 million plane gift and Eric Trump's fund growing from $300 million to $1.3 billion in one year.
