Orange Republic

Similar to a banana republic, that being a country governed in the interested of corporations, with extremely high income disparity and vast swathes of the population living in abject poverty whilst wealth and power are rapidly concentrated into smaller groups of disgustingly rich motherfuckers. Major tax breaks for the rich and exploitation of local resources and populations are inherent in both banana republics and orange republics.

The orange republic is differentiated from the banana republic in that it is run by Donald Trump. And it's worse.

Jill: Have you seen that Trump is offering tax breaks to major corporations so they don't have to pay much tax at all, to stop them avoiding tax?
Jack: Yeah, he's just legitimising tax avoidance. The US is becoming such an orange republic
