The Trump administration has been no stranger to controversy, with the latest scandal involving the president holding a private dinner for the largest investors of the $TRUMP coin, a meme coin offered by his family’s cryptocurrency firm. As the administration faces allegations of corruption, opponents say that access and influence to the White House is available to the highest bidder. But could Trump also be benefitting from Americans’ low expectations about the integrity of their politicians?

Earlier this week, President Trump also spent two hours on the phone with Russian president Vladimir Putin. The topic of discussion was a pathway to a ceasefire in Ukraine, an ability that Trump has often stated other leaders lack in their dealings with Putin. However, will there be a political price to pay if Russia gets what it wants in the negotiations for peace?
