Does that make Trump a John?
Ever is an absolute. Does this include anyone who ever held any office? Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, Sessions? I would not be so quick to paint with a broad brush. While money, or the love of it, has become a corrupting influence on many candidates and voters alike, can we really say Trump does not worship at the same altar as many of the politicians which he now condemns?
That he gazes in to a pool lovingly is not an improvement.
