And this is why no one should bother investing in anything in the U.S. as long as Trump is still in office. He's not only open to do the bidding of any corporation willing to pay him, he's happy to try to harm other countries as well as his own in pursuit of securing more bribes.

President Trump has tried to withhold billions of dollars in federal funding to coerce states, punish opponents, remake programs and impose his views. His targets have repeatedly sued to stop him, and the courts have repeatedly rebuked him — only for the president to try again and again.
