#8: Loyalty oaths and personalizing government
A recurring theme of the Trump presidency was the personalization of government, with
Trump regularly conflating his interests with the national interests, and demanding
personal loyalty from nearly everyone around him in government.
"Trump's demand that government actors pledge loyalty to him, as opposed
to the law or to the constitution, is a corruption of the rule of law,
and it's a corruption of government institutions," Pildes said.

#9: Firing whistleblowers and truth-tellers
There were firings, forced resignations and premature departures, which ramped up
in Trump's final year. The experts agreed Trump had the legal authority to take these actions,
but they said he crossed a line by clearly retaliating against officials for personal reasons
without good cause.

Trump also removed inspectors general that uncovered wrongdoing by HIS administration,
and fired Chris Krebs, the top election security official,
who publicly debunked trump's false voter fraud conspiracies.
He also relentlessly attacked whistleblowers who spoke out against him, including the
anonymous intelligence official whose complaint triggered his impeachment, as well as
Dr. Rick Bright, the former public health official who publicly criticized Trump's failed
pandemic response in early 2020.

analyst who teaches at New York University.
no bs like that with our new and better president

#10: Profiting off the presidency
Trump was the first billionaire to ascend to the presidency. When he took the mantle in 2017,
he defied the near-universal advice from ethics specialists and REFUSED to divest from his
international business empire. Instead, Trump temporarily turned over control of his company
to his adult sons, which he said his lawyers cleared from a conflict-of-interest standpoint.
The biggest issue, the experts said, was the appearance of a massive conflict of interest.

Yes.
And there is no LAW that prohibits indicting a sitting president!
There is only a "departmental memo" -- which was WRONGLY interpreted btw, according to the author of that memo -- that trump's stooge, Bill Barr, stated to mean the sitting president could not be indicted or even investigated!

Trump and his CPAC fans
lead GOP down a losing path
Opinion by REPUBLICAN, Scott Jennings
"There is direct empirical evidence that putting Trump at the center of our party in 2024
is a probable loser, as Trump twice got a smaller percentage of the vote than Mitt Romney.
And that was before the failed insurrection wherein Trump violated his oath of office
to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution...."

#7: The Ukraine affair and cover-up Trump is one of three presidents to get impeached, a fate he first faced in 2019 after pressuring the Ukrainian government to help his reelection campaign by announcing a baseless investigation into the Bidens. As part of the scheme, Trump unlawfully withheld nearly $400 million in much-needed military aid from Ukraine, even though Congress appropriated the funds with bipartisan support."This clearly looked like an extremely inappropriate quid-pro-quo offer," said Susan Rose-Ackerman, a law professor at Yale University who has written books about political corruption.
got his ash impeached then again in january LOL
