More to it than trump.

Corruption is built into the economic system. Trump is just the most recent manifestation of it. And this embezzler is doing what all businesses do in the end.

"You can only expect a company to serve the social interest as long as it serves its own interest. The archives of the Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration and other government agencies are full of cases concerning reputable companies that don’t think twice about breaking the law when they think it is to their advantage. It is not uncommon for a company to break a particular law, even sometimes with full knowledge that this violation will be discovered. The company figures that the cost of the fine ultimately levied will represent only a fraction of the profit to be realized by the violation of the law itself.”

So those who are ethical, those who are moral and truthful have a disadvantage in a capitalist system. Soon all businessmen and bankers are corrupt just to be successful. Some just get caught at it sooner than others.
