I don't even understand how having a business magnate and CEO of multiple USA companies can get a job in their government without being obligated to resign from their CEO mandates and without it just being plainly illegal. At least when they were corrupting people they at least pretended they were in the clear.

Yet again, with two Trump presidencies, I don't understand a lot about anything anymore.

For every rule you need someone who would enforce it. So if you first remove all the enforcers, then you can break all the rules and nothing* happens. And they have prepared for this moment for decades. At this moment it would be more surprising if they were somehow stopped.

* There might be a bit of a public outcry, but not too much because they have prepared for that too.

Were government officials ever obligated? Or did they do so due to personal ethics? I mean, Trump and Melania have 2 meme coins. The POTUS is directly benefitting from his position and fleecing Americans.
