President-elect Donald T**** has not signed the agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA) that would require him to disclose donors to his transition fund and limit individual contributions to $5,000. Because of this, T**** is keeping secret the names of the donors who are funding his transition effort. This will make it impossible to see, except for the likes of Elon Musk and his ilk, what interest groups, businesses or wealthy people are helping launch his second term, and no-one will know what they are getting for their money. And unlike with campaign contributions, foreign nationals are allowed to donate to the transition as well.
By dodging the agreement, T**** can raise unlimited funds from unknown donors to pave the way for him to take over the government. And since the amount of hush-money he takes in can easily surpass the cost of even the most extravagant transition, T**** can pocket the rest. Those seeking to curry favor with T**** now have the unlimited opportunity to do so without their names or potential conflicts ever entering the public record. In essence, T**** has put access to and influence with the president of the United States of America up for sale to the highest bidders in what amounts to a secret auction.
This action by Donald T**** represents not only the epitome of governmental corruption and greed at the highest level, it also illustrates the depths of depraved indifference to duty, honor and country to which our next president has willingly descended.
