Summary
Donald Trump has exempted himself from key ethics guidelines required under the Presidential Transition Act, which he signed into law in 2020.
By rejecting federal funding for his transition team, Trump avoids donor limits and disclosure requirements, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and transparency.
Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and government watchdogs, warn that Trump’s refusal to submit an ethics plan undermines accountability and could open the door to corruption.
This move marks a break from precedent and has sparked alarm over potential personal enrichment during his presidency.
Not mine, thanks
same. I’m sick of being lumped in with the vocal minority. which they are. “Americans” as a majority do not want this.
This would have made sense to say last time Trump won with a minority of votes. But he won the majority this time. The majority of Americans chose to put an anti-democratic felon rapist in the Oval Office. Sorry, but that’s the reality. The stupids in this country aren’t a minority.
