Corruption
The degree of corruption in this President and his Administration is so exhaustive it's difficult to quantify. From the level of dishonesty on all things--from the most petty to the most consequential--the complete ignorance of, and most disgracefully, the complete disregard for the law, the Constitution and our bedrock principles of democracy, to the overt …
