I don’t want to sit here pointing out every splat that shoots out of Trump’s ass, but this is just
telling people hey I’m a criminal that is going to do crimes:
Trump has refused to sign ethics pledges or agreements required by the Presidential Transitions Act, allowing his transition team to accept secret donations and avoid mandated transparency. Trump has also missed key deadlines and failed to enable FBI background checks on nominees, prompting criticism from lawmakers who warned this undermines the administration’s preparedness for national security and ethical governance. Historically, transitions have complied with agreements limiting donations and disclosing donors to prevent conflicts of interest and foreign influence, but Trump’s actions bypass these norms, raising accountability concerns. Trump is the first president-elect to bypass these restrictions.
