Trump still hasn’t signed ethics agreement required for presidential transition | CNN Politics

President-elect Donald Trump has not yet submitted a series of transition agreements with the Biden administration, in part because of concerns over the mandatory ethics pledge vowing to avoid conflicts of interest once sworn in to office, CNN has learned.

    The ethics pledge was introduced by Republicans and signed into law by Trump himself in March 2020. Rules for thee but not for me…

    I think Trump knows that he’ll almost always score points with voters by offending and upsetting those opposed to him, regardless of their party. So many of those who voted for him cited his unwillingness to conform as a major draw.

    Most of them are just angry with the status quo and by upsetting establishment people Trump misleads the electorate into thinking he’s not of and from the establishment. He’s convinced so many that he’s a force for change when in reality he’s a force for entrenching and empowering the worst aspects of the system.

    Not like it fucking matters, anyway. None of this “law” shit matters unless we find a way to impose it upon the swine who mean to rule us.

    Stop posting stupid crap about Trump. Nobody cares. He will sign it or he won’t, because there’s no consequences.
