Wasn't Trump rallying against such crony corruption aka 'pay for play'?

He may have, but like most everything he says it needs to be understood as "post-truth", and meant for the emotional impact only -- not the actual substance.

This "post-truth" does not need to be understood, it needs to be rejected, as hard as possible.

Post-truth is pretty much Donald's lifestyle. He testified under oath that his net worth "depends on how he feels at that moment" (paraphrasing). His state of mind defines reality/truth

Net worth is a pretty slippery concept. For example, what is your house worth? You cannot know it with any sort of precision.
