Former Republican Party Campaign consultant and full-time Donald Trump antagonist Rick Wilson used an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday to rail at the president for doing everything within his power to personally cash in on his second stint in the Oval Office.

Appearing with host Ali Velshi and MSNBC analyst Hayes Brown, Wilson had a few things to say about Trump's trip to the Middle East where his family has growing business interests that call into question his friendliness with the despots who rule the region.

With the controversy of Qatar wanting to give Trump a $400 million gift in the form of a so-called "palace in the sky" jet, host Velshi prompted his guest with, "I remember when Al Gore got in trouble for taking a campaign phone call in his office, and I'm not justifying it, but there should be rules, and elected officials should abide by the rules."

"It's so weird that we're not arguing with the courts about breaking these rules. we're just ––they're gone, we just don't we just don't. This administration just doesn't even think about it anymore<" he added.

"That's right," Wilson agreed, "This is an administration where if the most ludicrously illegal transaction takes place and the Department of Justice doesn't see it. Does the tree make a sound when it falls in the forest? Of course not."

"None of this will ever be investigated by this administration," he predicted. "The corruption is wired in from the start and what Trump wants is money and adoration. But what he's getting is, he's changing what America is viewed as and I think that the pyramid scheme Nutralife argument is brilliant and I think it's a great way to think about this, because they are selling things of no value to people who are credulously, accepting that they think they're going to get something amazing from it, something bigger than their investment."

"Right now we don't have a White House or an administration, we have a whorehouse at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and that's that's a fact," he added as the MSNBC host laughed.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) sharply criticized fellow House Republicans for blocking a crucial committee vote tied to President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” saying that the move was a “real misstep.”

Donald Trump's decision to take the lead in negotiating business deals while making bold announcements about how he is turning around a faltering economy could end up blowing up in his face.

That is according to the Washington Post's Naftali Bendavid who wrote on Sunday that Trump is going where few presidents have gone before — and he's playing a risky game because it could lead to becoming the poster-child for failure, particularly in a volatile economic climate he had a major hand in creating.

As the Post report highlights, Trump is no more than dabbling in attempts to control drug prices, pressuring the Fed — sometimes with insults — to bring down interest rates and "touting" foreign investment deals that may or may not pan out.
