It's sold to the public as 'holding the peace' but much of it is just turning profit. DJT's admission that we can't stop this because of jobs is a pretty bold-faced admission.
So are we in agreement that this is something we all like about Donald Trump? That he is brazen enough to just openly admit to the moral bankruptcy that has plagued our government for generations now?
In a way, that's been a unifying theme of his presidency. After Nazis murdered a person in Charlottsville, he went on tv and said (I'm paraphrasing a little) "Yep, America is hella racist! Me too!" After the Kavanaugh hearings, he said harkenned back to his "they let you do it" comments when he said (I'm paraphrasing a little) "It's fine if he tried to rape her, because he'll overturn Roe v. Wade!" And now that the Saudi arms deal is jeopardized by the murder of a journalist, he's saying (I'm paraphrasing a little) "We'll always kowtow to the Saudis because our strategic interests outweigh our ethical convictions, and we hate journalists anyway!"
I'm sure you can think of other examples. America's politicians tend to dance around these awkward and embarrassing truths, and Trump is so flagrantly disrespectful of absolutely everything American that he can just come out and say it. Yes, we're racist sexist hypocrites with a lust for power. Yes, we promote the interests of wealthy Americans over all other concerns. Maybe next he'll just come out and say the war on poverty is a joke and we should just let homeless vets die in the streets. And that black people shouldn't be allowed to vote because white people need to stay in control of government.
