Setting aside the whole president can't repeal a supreme court decision thingy for the moment, I'd have to say that Trump has been a consistently critical of the results of the Citizens United decision. It is probably the single thing he has actually been given a bit of credit for from the left.
Some thoughts on this issue: Allegedly Trump has bought the Florida Attorney General for a $25,000 campaign contribution. Now granted that Trump wrote the check from his foundation rather than personally because he's either a) actually broke (despite the most extremely conservative estimates placing his value at least at $3 billion ) or b) because when Trump sits down at his kitchen table with all his checkbooks every month (like us) and writes out thousands of checks for his various companies, he decided to see if he couldn't slip a fast one by regulators on this one. Because he's cheap.
Fair enough. No argument from me. But rather I'll focus on the fact that the going rate for an Attorney general in Florida, a state with the 16th largest GDP in the world were it a country, is apparently a 25 thousand dollar campaign gift because Trump got what he wanted. This fact of a donor/favor granting relationship seems almost universally accepted on the left.
In a contrasting situation, The Clintons have have personally received (i.e. not a campaign gift, but cash, personally) more than $2.2 million just from Goldman-Sachs alone. Goldman-Sachs has also through direct donation and further facilitation, accounted for millions more in gifts to the Clinton foundation... And millions more in Clinton campaign contributions... And granted complete access to and use of Goldman facilities and their vast connections... And set up the Clinton's son-in-law in business managing a 330 million dollar hedge fund that Goldman helped finance and solicited investors for... And this is just Goldman. Tens of millions have been foisted upon the Clintons by similar institutions, ($50 million just from banks) not to mention all the other corporate interests and lobbyists that have followed suit.
The reason for this is either a) While we know the Clintons can't be bought or influenced by all these millions, the financial institutions keep throwing more and more at them hoping to finally reach their price. Ha! Stupid banks! Or b) In the almost unimaginable case that the good people could be influenced like the Florida Attorney General, (but only at 100,000x the price) in return for this literal mountain of cash and benefits rained down on the Clintons, what Goldman and the others want is for Mrs. Clinton to heavily tax and regulate them, and more importantly as is suggested, cut off all of their regular means of access to political power in the future. Perhaps this is a good place to mention again that I am currently in Florida and can probably get you a fantastic deal on some really high quality "water view" property.
