Trumpism didn't just normalize corruption. It normalized cruelty, spectacle, and the idea that power no longer has to answer to decency. The greater damage? Convincing Americans that institutions can't be trusted, decency is for suckers, and shamelessness is a virtue. Read @zeblarson.bsky.social

How Trumpism Is Destroying America's Civic Morality
Trumpism has normalized cruelty, corruption, and public spectacle. Rebuilding democracy requires restoring civic morality, accountability, and decency.

Just one day before he announced a 90-day pause on his sweeping tariffs, Trump's investment accounts made stock purchases worth as much as $12.8 million. Then when Trump announced the pause, the S&P soared nearly 10% — one of the biggest single-day gains in the index’s history. Unusual indeed.
