OPINION: Trump lives in a world of zero accountability and thinks that white-collar crimes are not real crimes.
Presidents have an unlimited supply of “Get Out of Jail Free” cards. Donald Trump handed out a bunch of them Tuesday, pardoning or commuting the sentences of a slew of big name felons.
There are others, but to me, the biggest bum of the lot is Michael Milken. The disgraced junk bond king was one of the sleazier faces in a series of financial scandals that rocked Wall Street back in the 1980s.I say this because while Blagojevich and Kerik’s crimes were meant to benefit themselves personally, Milken’s crimes not only did that, but also undermined the integrity of U.S. financial markets.
The answer is one I’ve given before: You’ve got to remember that for his entire adult life—the 50 years before his election to the presidency—Trump lived in a world of non-accountability, a world where he could do as he pleased. He witnessed a loose culture in which white collar criminals generally got away with their crimes. Tax evasion, bribery, money laundering dabbling with mobsters and more. It’s probably no coincidence that Trump himself has been accused of each of these things as well.
