Trump’s ‘most corrupt person’ to ever occupy White House

House Republicans unveiled a draft tax bill that will provide substantial advantages to the very rich individuals especially by a reduction in taxes on their investment earnings, while burdening the nation with additional $1.5 trillion of debt.

The bill also includes “Corporate profits from overseas would no longer be taxed….”. This is morally wrong and self-serving since sale of Trump’s name to overseas corporations earns the president and his family millions in revenues and now all this income will be tax free!

Arguably, the current president may be the most corrupt person that ever occupied the White House. One questions the moral judgment of the people who not only voted for him but continue to support him.
