The revelations about Tom Homan’s alleged cash handoff are yet another stain on the already tattered ethical record of Trump’s political world. From cabinet secretaries to campaign aides, financial impropriety and abuse of power have been defining features of the Trump era. Former EPA chief Scott Pruitt resigned after scandals over lavish travel and lobbyist favors, while Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke was investigated for misuse of public funds and shady land deals.
What makes the Homan affair particularly disturbing is how routine such misconduct has become—each new scandal greeted with a shrug from supporters and silence from Republican leaders. Public office is supposed to serve the nation, not personal or political enrichment. Yet Trump’s orbit continues to operate as though laws and ethics apply only to others. The normalization of corruption is profoundly un-American and threatens the moral foundation of our democracy.
