Let's not make Trump seem responsible for our incredibly overtly corrupt country. Bill Clinton was a democrat, was president before Trump, and is notorious for his seemingly-corrupt pardons. I'm no history buff so I can't go back further than my own lifespan for further examples but I bet America has been this way for a long, long time.

The furor over these pardons including the Marc Rich pardon was 100% political. Clinton pardoned relatively the same amount of people as previous presidents but with a heavy focus on “leftists.” Also, Marc Rich had left the US before he started working across trade embargoes and singlehandedly built the OTC oil market. He also worked actively with the US on covert oil sales while being prosecuted by the DOJ. Read: - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_of_Oil https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_of_Oil
