Isn't this self-dealing? Basically Trump while in office is specifically promoting his own company, and thus increasing his personal wealth? The fact that no one is really blinking means we have really changed.

    The issue is that this isn't even in Trump's top two cryptocurrency scandals since he became president for the second time. #1 is the access selling, #2 is the pardon of the Binance guy.

    Nobody seems to care about either of those, either.

    The lack of blinking might also be a deer in the headlights look.

    At least 50% of the country thinks Clinton should have gone to jail for using her own personal email and receiving gifts while SoS, but doesn't care that Trump uses his personal cell phone to conduct official business, kept classified documents at a personal residence, receives gifts as substantial as whole-ass planes from foreign governments, openly uses his social media to manipulate the stock market, and more

    I don't think there has been a change; his supporters have always been shitty, stupid, and hypocritical people. Trump has merely been the phenomenon that revealed them as such.

    I mean, sure, but, well, not like it's the first example.
