As much as I dislike Trump, that's not unique to his administration.

  It's the way the world works and it's been around long enough that even the Romans and Egyptians complained about it. Most post-industrial countries have concluded they need fairly strict controls on how power and money co-mingle. But the teaching of how power and money works and corrupts is so abysmal in the US that many are miraculously continually surprised every time they see it. If Hillary or Bernie or even Jill Stein had won, this would still be true. It's not about the person. Laws, enforcement and diligence is needed here. Democracy doesn't come with an autopilot.
