I think Trump is beginning to realize he could not only be forced from office, but prosecuted on criminal charges that would send him to prison for the rest of his useless life.
Personally, I don't believe that will happen; not because of insufficient proof, but rather because of the "house of cards" effect it would produce on US crony capitalism.
Perhaps Trump is capitalism's dying gasp?
Agree with you the house of cards and the corporations' supporting the house f cards will be exposed. I can not understand why Americans can force a change to STOP bark money going to any US candidate running for political office .
ALL corporate donations should be made illegal .
Lucky for us when an election is called its only 36 days of campaign and political ads not the two years of bullshit and attack ads that you have to endure.
Canada’s federal election finance laws put limits on contributions to
political parties and candidates.
Only individuals — not corporations or trade unions — may donate. Contributions are limited to up to $1,500 a year to each political party and up to $1,500 to all of the registered electoral district associations, contestants seeking the party’s nomination and candidates for each party. In addition, donors may give up to $1,500 to leadership contestants for a party as well as up to $1,500 to independent candidates. These limits were set in 2015, and the amounts increase by $25 each year. Political actors must disclose the names of anyone who donates more than $200.
Public Funding
Canada’s system of party and election finance regulation provides two forms of state funding to political parties and to candidates.
First, political parties and candidates receive a reimbursement of some of their
election expenses (
see Political Campaign). Political parties that received either 2 per cent of the national vote or 5 per cent of the vote in the districts in which they ran candidates receive 50 per cent of the money they spent as a reimbursement. Candidates who received at least 10 per cent of the vote receive 15 per cent of the election expenses limit in their district as a reimbursement. In addition, if the candidate spent at least 30 per cent of the limit during the election, the reimbursement increases to 60 per cent of what the candidate spent during the election.
Second, Canada provides generous tax credits for donations to political parties and candidates. The first $400 of donations receives a 75 per cent tax credit; the amount between $400 and $750 receives a 50 per cent credit. Amounts over $750 receive a 33 per cent credit. An individual’s total tax credit in one year cannot exceed $650
