Quote: President Donald Trump’s administration is weighing whether to seek changes to a 1977 law that makes it illegal for U.S. companies to bribe foreign officials.

“We are looking at it,” White House Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow said at the White House on Friday, in response to a reporter’s question about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act...

“It’s just so unfair that American companies aren’t allowed to pay bribes to get business overseas,” Trump said, according to an passage published by the Post. “We’re going to change that.”

Bloomberg? isn't he running for Trump's job? I thought digging up dirt on future opponents was an impeachable offense.

Tangentially related, but mainly just FYI: Comey

Never considered it before, but it looks as though Comey was going to be fired no matter who won in 2016.

A+ effort on the deflection.

So, you believe Trump really cares about corruption?

Deflect? Hard enough to get you guys to talk about anything that makes sense, if it reflects even a tiny bit well on Trump, like the economy or China or USMCA. Nope, always return to Orange Man Bad.

Gimme a "D", gimme an "E", gimme a...

Get where I'm going?

I ask about whether you think Trump cares about corruption after posting an article that discusses changing US policy that is meant to fight foreign corruption, and how do you respond? Two responses that don't actually answer the question.
