Trump's Open Vote-Buying Exposes the False Integrity of US Democracy

US President Donald Trump has promised to dole out $5,000 to every adult citizen of the US if his party wins the upcoming US midterm elections.

If this happened in Africa, this would be called exactly what it is - vote buying, campaign financing violation, and an egregious attempt to tamper with the integrity of an electoral process. Since it happened in the US, it has instead been allowed to quietly slip out of the headlines.

@big__mck explores this issue and provides some much needed clarity for the benefit of the African onlooker who has been conditioned to think of the USA as an example and standard-setter.
