Summary
Donald Trump’s transition team is raising unlimited funds from undisclosed donors, including foreign nationals, bypassing federal transparency rules by refusing to sign agreements with the Biden administration.
This breaks from tradition, sparking concerns about potential conflicts of interest and influence over the incoming administration.
The team has also failed to enable FBI background checks for appointees and has not submitted an ethics plan required for pre-inauguration access to federal agencies.
Critics warn that this secrecy undermines accountability during the critical handover of power.
Oh look, the NYT is suddenly reporting an actual issue with Trump Co. instead of casually sanewashing him. Too late. We will spend decades fixing this sh*t. Literal decades.
NYT realized how much credibility they lost between the election and gaza reporting and are trying to pretend none of it happened.
Just like they did when they wrote glowingly about that German fellow with the funny moustache. The NYT REALLY loved him at first.
To be fair, newspapers in Germany owned by the same Jews that would later be persecuted supported or sucked up to Hitler too… It’s actually strikingly similar to how our own media has acted around Trump. Direct parallels with what just happened to morning Joe.
Fixing? Haha. We lost.
