Baudrillard discussing Watergate: "capital, which is immoral and unscrupulous, can only function behind a moral superstructure, and whoever regenerates this public morality (by indignation, denunciation etc.) spontaneously furthers the order of capital, as did the Washington Post journalists." (Baudrillard, 1983 p. 27)
The exact same could be said of the current situation with Trump.
