How does a person go from a $300,000 net worth to a $100 million net worth on a public servant salary? That is what reveals the corruption. Remember, Trump’s net worth went DOWN when he was a public servant.
Yes, but his net worth only went down because of a concentrated campaign against him (cant have govs use trump property anymore, etc). His worth could have gone up in a normal world.
Money isn't the problem. The love of power is.

Exactly. It baffles me how so many who understand the difference when it comes to guns don't see it when it comes to money.
Money simply amplifies what was already there. An asshole gets rich? Now he's just a bigger asshole with more options and fewer consequences. A generous person gets rich? Now they have even more money to be generous with.
....but DeSantis was corrupt when he had $340,000. Why do people blame the instruments for what happens instead of the people?
Guns kill people. Not people. Money corrupts people. People aren't corrupt and then use money.
Hey! Teeth kill sheep. Not wolves.
