[quote=Anonymous]It's called State Capture.

Trump has outright said he is using Orban as a model.

"State capture is a type of systematic corruption whereby narrow interest groups take control of the institutions and processes through which public policy is made, directing public policy away from the public interest and instead shaping it to serve their own interests... The captors of the state were businesspeople, soon to be known as ‘oligarchs’, who purchased influence over policy formation through direct kickbacks or promises of favours, using personal connections to the individuals and parties holding political power. This framing of business as the captors of politics probably always overstated the separation between the two spheres, when in many transition states, the distinction between the public and private sector was in fact blurred—sometimes intentionally. In the early years of post-Soviet transition in Russia, Wedel described the phenomenon of “institutional nomads” (Wedel 2003), i.e., individuals who strategically moved between public-sector and private-sector roles, depending on where they could best access advantages or avoid regulation. By shifting their shape and surfing on the rules that applied to different sectors, they were able to either influence the rules or evade them, effectively operating outside legal frameworks."[/quote]
