If you want a starting point on wtf is wrong, start at Watergate and follow the policies completely influenced by greed, then connect to Citizen’s United, and you’ll have a pretty good idea. The US had a thing called “checks and balances” built into the foundation of the constitution, but that was all eroded away when congress got lazy and granted the executive branch too many exceptions. Trump is the end result of decades of corruption, greed, and just inept laziness.
