Princeton historian Sean Wilentz argued in Rolling Stone that Donald Trump's loyalty networks have made his presidency the most corrupt in US history, steering government power towards his own interests.
Wilentz, a professor of American history at Princeton, wrote that Trump's presidency, 'especially in his second term, is by far the most corrupt ever'. What critics call his transactional deal-making is better understood as relational, a web of favours built over years rather than one-off bribes.
