Now back in power, President Trump asserts that corruption is rampant in numerous government bodies—ranging from foreign aid agencies and the Justice Department to federal contracting—while curiously avoiding any in-depth examination of wrongdoing among those in his own camp.
In this phase of his presidency, he casts himself as a relentless crusader against waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government. Partnering with the tech entrepreneur Elon Musk in his campaign for efficiency, he declares that they have unearthed enormous amounts of corrupt spending, although he has not presented any concrete evidence to support this claim.
it is dropping corruption investigations against political figures with known connections to him, firing inspectors general who are charged with uncovering abuse, and committing to a policy of non-enforcement of a key anti-corruption law against major corporations. These actions have fueled criticism and raised questions about the consistency of his proclaimed anti-corruption agenda.

This is just another way for him to consolidate power and silence his critics. Don't be fooled by his empty promises.

He's not afraid to speak his mind and challenge the status quo. That's what we need in a leader.

Wake up, people! This is not about fighting corruption, it's about maintaining power.

This is a sad day for America. We deserve better than this.

His hypocrisy knows no bounds. He accuses others of corruption while engaging in it himself.

He claims to have uncovered "enormous amounts of corrupt spending" but provides no evidence. Sounds like he's just making things up.

Why should we believe anything he says? He's lied so many times in the past, it's hard to keep track.
Habibi
This is all just a smoke and mirrors act. He's not going to do anything about corruption because he's benefiting from it.
