    There is a ton of personal corruption from campaign donors.

    Trump takes it to another level, for sure, but this is all a direct result of Citizens United and money in politics.

    Never had a candidate before him been so blatant about funneling campaign funds for themselves. Maybe George Santos. But, he is in prison.

    Not to mention Trump has "donors" paying him off via donations as well as through his businesses.

    Many of our politicians make literally hundreds of millions of dollars from donors and corporations. Legally. Incredibly corrupt and legal.

    Donald Trump (or similar) was always the end game if we didn't change those policies. You can't let the obvious corruption go and expect everyone to want to stay engaged. If much of the population is disengaged because they see the corruption isn't being addressed you get Donald Trump.
