What this episode covers

You're not supposed to be able to use the Presidency of the United States in order to enrich yourself.

Indeed, once you step back you can't help but notice - his distinctive style of confrontational leadership couldn't be better calculated to encourage lots of wealthy people to see it as being in their interest to give him money. Let's discuss.
