It was bad enough that Trump granted clemency to all the rioters who stormed the Capitol. Now he's created a slush fund - funded by tax-payer money - that could hand payouts to these criminals. It's absolutely disgusting, and an utter disgrace. I guess I'm no longer surprised by the level of corruption and abuse of power of this administration, but the sheer scale of it is still shocking. And it's exposed just how messed up the American political system is, when it has apparently been so easily undermined by the actions of this administration. No wonder global perception of the US is currently at record lows. And no wonder that I'm also questioning whether I want to continue living here.
