Corruption, Putin… Burritos?

President Trump held a private dinner for the largest investors
of the $TRUMP coin, a meme coin offered by his family’s
cryptocurrency firm. It is the latest controversy surrounding the
administration and allegations of corruption. From Elon Musk, to
the Qatari government, opponents of Trump say that access and
influence to the White House is available to the highest bidder.
Is the president just benefiting from Americans’ low expectations
about the integrity of their politicians?


There was another significant meeting for the president early
this week. He spent two hours on the phone with Russian president
Vladimir Putin. The two discussed a pathway to a ceasefire in
Ukraine. Trump has often touted his ability to negotiate with
Putin in a way other leaders can’t. Will there be a political
price to pay if Russia gets what it wants in the negotiations for
peace?


Sports betting, marijuana, pornography - access to these
“tempting goods” has never been easier. Now you can add micro
loans to the list. But one writer claims that this easy access
could be harmful for American citizens. Is that the government’s
business?
