The White House Press Corps should've walked out as soon as the Trump regime banned the Associated Press for calling the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of Mexico."
That was Feb 15, 2025. The first month of Trump Term II.
Not surprising that abandoning principles for weak acquiescence led to more abuse.

How Corruption Drives Votes
The Trump administration’s historic collision of private profit and public power may be too vast to ignore—and almost too large to explain. But corruption drives votes when voters can see the machine.
