Maddow: Why Trump-style corruption is bad and makes governments suck

Rachel Maddow discusses the detrimental effects of Trump-style corruption on governance in a segment on MSNBC. She explains how corruption, exemplified by former President Donald Trump's actions, undermines the effectiveness and integrity of government institutions. Maddow highlights that such corruption leads to a government that is less responsive to the needs of its citizens, focusing instead on personal gain and loyalty to the leader rather than public service. This type of governance, she argues, results in inefficiency, a lack of accountability, and a general decline in public trust, ultimately making governments "suck" as they fail to perform their basic functions effectively. She uses examples from Trump's tenure to illustrate how personal enrichment and favoritism can pervade government operations, leading to a broader systemic failure.
