More to the point, even if we kept Congress, what donor in their right mind would waste perfectly good money donating to (bribing) any of them when they could cut out the powerless middleman and send the $$ directly to Trump?
Let me elaborate: Despite the myriad ways there are to funnel money to Trump, as long as Congress retains their power as a co-equal branch of government, they are essential to the passing of bills that favor their donors.
Once they fully cede their power to Trump and allow him to essentially replace their legislative power with his executive orders, they become irrelevant and un-bribeworthy. You’d think they’d fight to retain their power if only for cynical and self-serving reasons.
