There are far more parallels and similarities between Trump and the old school heads of the five families than there are to the fascist dictators. He's always been a mobster wanna be. Those old boys had to try to corrupt from the outside, now they've got one of their own on the INSIDE. In the driver's seat.

2 that feel horrible about corruption being exposed...

Even the players don't know the extent of what's gone on because they are focused on their own powers.
Glad to see someone else "gets it"

Transparency would mean keeping his promise about releasing his taxes.
Transparency would mean keeping his promise about divorcing himself from his businesses (who remember the table of fake paperwork?)
Transparency would mean keeping his promise about donating the foreign profits from his business (now thats too hard)
Transparency would mean saying where all the millions given to him for his inauguration went
Transparency would mean releasing the democratic rebuttal to the nunes memo

etc etc.

I don't think some folks here even know the meaning of the word transparency, or what a promise is.

That is irrelevant. He said he would release his tax returns, yet he never did.

He said we'd have a better, cheaper health care system and that hasn't happened either.

He should have said as much during his campaign.

To see if he's telling the truth, you know transparency right? Lol.

But we are wayyyyyy beyond that now. The man is a chronic liar, we all know that.

You know, I remember Republicans blabbering on about how important character was in a President. You can throw those days out the window. You guys would elect the devil himself if he promised to deport immigrants and give everyone tax cuts.

Right, because that is totally up to him. Why even have a Congress?

There are at least 3 more years to go, possibly 7. There is still time.

Oh yeah, forgot Obama was the most transparent president according to himself. Whose worse, the guy we know is a baffoon or the one that wraps himself in a veil of normalcy, while taking Hollywood money from the likes of Harvey Weinstein
