It's always been utterly and disgustingly corrupt. The current clown is a symptom of generations of mismanagement and a thoroughly compromised government on both sides of the oligarchy. Their wealth is built on the suffering of hundreds of millions around the world, a tragedy perpetrated by war criminals, traitors, liars and thieves.
When will the people of the world stand up and demand justice? A global reform of governance is necessary, sooner or later. Seeing how the public defends the status quo, don't hold your breath - maybe better luck next century, if we still exist.
