Big money flows in, investigations disappear, pardons follow, regulations loosen and foreign governments get favorable treatment. The article calls it an “unprecedented pay-to-play culture.” #PayToPlayPresident 14140422240

David Rountree @afterword.substack.com · 19/09/2026Our felonious president, whom we have ample reason to believe sexually assaulted children, continues to hold the world hostage to his whim. His corruption oozes from every infantile pore. Happy Saturday. 001

David Rountree @afterword.substack.com · 09/09/2026The behavior of the president over the past 72 hours affirms what the world has known for weeks: He's becoming more frighteningly unfit for the position he holds every day. Trump may turn the world upside-down at any moment -- on a whim. 011

David Rountree @afterword.substack.com · 23/08/2026This nihilism, and watching the United States break bad, will sap you -- the depth and breadth of the corruption alone. We're all tired, but keep fighting. I have to believe we're going to set things right in time. There is much to restore. 010
David Rountree @afterword.substack.com · 16/08/2026Trump on Friday (Aug. 14, 2026): “Pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States.” His ineptitude precludes any chance of adult diplomacy. This infantile bullshit is going to get more American soldiers, sailors and airmen killed. The region is still bubbling. 021

David Rountree @afterword.substack.com · 13/08/2026Trump's staggeringly lucrative corruption suggests there's method to his madness. But there's also madness to his madness. This administration's ineptitude is dangerous and growing more so by the day. 000

David Rountree @afterword.substack.com · 11/08/2026Trump is bored with the Middle East. He’d rather build monuments to himself, paint others gold and improve D.C. golf courses. I wonder if he ever thinks about the 18 members of the U.S. armed services who have died in his war, which he’s now assuring us will “all work out.” 000
David Rountree @afterword.substack.com · 09/08/2026Trump chickens out regularly, but not until his market position is in place. His saber rattling works the same way. The scale of his corruption is astonishing, and I really don’t believe the president gives a damn about the people who are dying so he can fatten his wallet. 000
