Trump exempts himself from ethics pledge as watchdogs sound alarms - eviltoast

Summary

Donald Trump has exempted himself from key ethics guidelines required under the Presidential Transition Act, which he signed into law in 2020.

By rejecting federal funding for his transition team, Trump avoids donor limits and disclosure requirements, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and transparency.

Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and government watchdogs, warn that Trump’s refusal to submit an ethics plan undermines accountability and could open the door to corruption.

This move marks a break from precedent and has sparked alarm over potential personal enrichment during his presidency.

    I’m trying to keep my ancients oath but every dialogue option seems like a trap to make you lose it. I fucking lost it talking to a bird for fucks sake. I’ve lost so many hours of progress resetting because I don’t want to pay 1000 gold, it’s literally 1/10th that cost to change your class.

    I wish paladins had a morality slider instead, like KOTOR
