Billionaire Donald Trump is telling every American who’ll listen how he buys their politicians, and Democratic presidential candidate Larry Lessig could not be happier.
“When Donald Trump stands up [and explains how he buys politicians]… the public are like ‘hell yeah, finally somebody is willing to say what we’ve always known is true’,” said Lessig, the Harvard law professor who is running for president to get big money out of politics.
“And that’s progress.”Lessig has no patience for much of what Trump says and does, but on this issue – the one Lessig cares most about – Trump has been a godsend.
