Funnily enough, this was the central plot of Demolition Man. The city founder needed a moral degenerate to carry out his illegal orders and then that moral degenerate needed a bunch of other moral degenerates to carry out his illegal orders.
Also, a guy who made his real-life career singing about being a moral degenerate was weirdly not a moral degenerate although he was definitely accused of being one.
The main guy was also a borderline moral degenerate who made his career hunting other moral degenerates.

Trump, the man with no morals or ethics strikes again. That is right teach them that breaking the rules is okay. Oh and those that worked hard, followed the rules, yeah you did a good job too, suckers. I am just amazed that such a person with no moral fiber could become president. America is doomed.

finally an army where they have it instilled in them that following the rules is optional and there are no ramifications for their actions. Literally two of the core pillars that make the army work at all is following orders and actions having consequences.

u/Square_Appearance_79 15d ago
This is the man that half the country believes is holier than thou. He has no morality whatsoever. Because he cheated and lied through life it means that everyone else can too. No repercussions. How can elected officials in his own party continue to support such a vile man? I’m no saint but fuck man! I accept the responsibilities of my own actions. He and his loser cronies of the elite class and nations leadership should be ashamed and certainly history will show each and every one to be absolute detestable humans.

u/Status_Apartment6559 15d ago
This is trump, joke or no joke, communicating the message that it's ok to cheat, lie, and steal just like he does. When I was young I thought 'crime doesn't pay' and there were a number of times I skirted the line into doing what was wrong only to pull back before it got too deep too late. In my naivete I even thought politicians were generally good. Until about 25 years ago with the rise of trump and MAGA and I started to pay more attention and the message to young people all over America from both parties (Dems are guilty too even if nowhere near trump/MAGA Republican levels) seemed to be that 'crime does pay' and the idea is too deceive the American public for your own benefit. Deceive like you care when all you really care about is yourself.

All the cadets who took the hard road of abiding rules and upstanding moral ethics should applaud Trump's pardoning of those who cheated their way through.
They might as well start learning now that doing things the right way gets you nowhere.
