Obama pines for the political era that created Trump in the first place
The problem with that analysis is that it fails to appreciate how that established order — the one that former President Obama is so nostalgic for — made Donald Trump possible.

 How money laundering is poisoning American democracy
America is the largest dirty money haven in the world. Its illicit money flows dwarf that of any other territory, unless you treat Britain and its offshore tax havens as one.

Worse, the US government has no idea who controls the companies that channel the money because America lacks a corporate central registry.
