Because the US government is no longer even pretending to care about human rights.

And it was always purely a pretense.

One must laud the transparency this administration has introduced.

What transparency? What is transparent about running a meme coin that anyone in the world can bribe- sorry, "invest" in with no trace of who they are while you're President?

As for the topic at hand: Trump truly has no vision for anything we do on the world stage so I don't believe it's a deliberate effort at "transparency"

It is more transparent than getting out of government then getting "book deals", doing "speaking engagements" and sitting on boards.

"Here's my hat, put some coin in" is transparency.

Transparently corrupt, sure. Who is influencing him still isn't transparent though. Book deals, board positions, and speeches all have organizers, company names, etc.. that can be investigated.

How can you trace a block chain transaction back to someone without some sort of OPSEC slip up?
