Fighting Trump’s Corruption w/ Chris Lehmann / The Time of Monsters with Jeet Heer
About this episode
The episode discusses Donald Trump's extensive corruption and the political strategies Democrats can employ to combat it.
Donald Trump is corrupt on a scale that puts all other criminal presidents, including Richard Nixon, to shame. One recent example is the so-called Anti-Weaponization fund of $1,776,000,000, being deployed to reward convicted criminals who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Trump and his cronies are also profiting from billion-dollar deals with foreign governments and engaged in stock market trading while in office. My Nation colleague Chris Lehmann has written about this in a recent column . We talk about both the corruption, and the political tools Democrats can use to fight it.
