This Is What 500 Days of Trump's Corruption Looks Like

Published | Video Starts at 01:49

Senators, Republicans and Democrats do not trade our votes for cash or for political contributions. We don't run side hustles like crypto companies. Senators don't give contracts to their kids just because we can. And No president in the history of this country has done what Donald Trump has done. No president has done 5% of the self-dealing that Donald Trump has done in the last year and a half. This moment is exceptional. It is a one of one moment. And if it becomes normal, if people stop being outraged at what he is doing to enrich himself, then I fear there is no going back. (01:49–02:02)
