      Right? It’s a super brain dead take. The presidential oath and things like the emoluments clause (i know, it’s quaint of me to think that ever mattered) explicitly ‘bind’ a President to act in the country’s interests.

      It’s just mask-off Americanism though, we can finally admit the true core belief of our culture: nothing is immoral in the pursuit of profit.
