Donald Trump Is Making the United States an Anti-Corruption Laughingstock

Jessica Tillipman, a dean at the George Washington University Law School and an expert on government ethics and compliance, was recently giving an anti-corruption training to a roomful of visiting government officials from Latin America when something odd happened. As she described measures the United States has in place to guard against conflicts of interest, she heard snickering.
"Usually, I would see audiences in the past where they would look on kind of in awe" at the elaborate system the federal government has in place to prevent graft and corruption, Tillipman says. That has changed since the election of Donald Trump. Now, the overseas officials she trains point out that the United States can't even get its own president to abide by the nation's ethics standards and traditions. "It was almost a bit of a joke," she says of the recent training. "To have countries with their own distinct corruption issues laughing at our current issues—it's embarrassing."

The United States has been the laughingstock for eight years. Things are finally looking up for the American people.....except the people who haven't caught up.

Glaucon

You think things are looking up? What caused you to come to that conclusion? I was proud of our previous president and this one is a laughing stock, and embarrassment, and a very bad joke. Please enlighten me. Did you read the entire. If you are a Trump follower, You didn't. If you had an open mind, you did.

Obama was the best example of a POS president that didn't abide by the nation's ethics standards and tried to change our traditions and turn us into a muslim country. What's embarrassing is the fact that he got re-elected!

Glaucon, if you had an open mind you wouldn't be citing inane sources to back up your feelings. You were proud of our President for 8 years? What were you proud of? The 20 trillions of debt he ran up? The fact that he has never ran a business or hired anyone? Or maybe the fact that he cozied up to our enemies while running down our Country? If there is a laughingstock around, it is your post.

That is certainly one of a picture written by someone who has no desire to be either honest or fair. There is a lot of corruption that is being fixed. Slowing down the entry of illegal aliens would be one example. You must remember our media will not give you a fair treatment of anything done by President Trump.

So, Gluesniffer, you were proud of all the lies Obama fed us? You were proud of the $9.5T of national debt Obama ran up? You are proud of the instability and absolute chaos he allowed and abetted in the Middle East? Are you are proud of the slowest recession recovery since WWII, and being the only president to never have ONE quarter of a GDP of 3%? You are proud of his stagnant economy and shrinking of the middle class? You are proud of the record number of Americans on welfare, SSI, and food stamps? You are proud of all the economic and business stifling rules and regulations initiated by Obama and his Admin? You are proud of the shrinking of the military and turning it into one big social experiment? You are proud of his open border policy and all of the illegals flooding into the country sucking up taxpayer dollars to pay for their welfare, food stamps, education, and healthcare....not to mention taking jobs away from Americans? You are proud of all the Muslim immigrants he brought in, and if you know anything about the Koran you would know that there is no such thing as a peaceful Muslim. Are you proud that Obama made America the laughing stock of the world? Huh? If so, you're a Communist, pal...not to mention an ignorant asshole.
