One of the underreported aspects of the Trump administration’s craven and corrupt approach to governance is the temptation it poses for the slightly-more-ethical among us. Many people have been living under the belief that there was some level of flagrant bullshit that the public wouldn’t countenance, that it mattered, on some level, what the truth was. This is clearly not the case, and what’s worse, fleecing the country doesn’t even seem to require much skill. It would be one thing if Trump had to shell out for Press Secretary Frank Abagnale, but neither Sean Spicer nor Sarah Huckabee Sanders are exactly in Catch Me If You Can territory, and they’re running the country. If these people can brazen their way through life on the national stage, anyone can. Why not you?
