Banana Republic
The phrase banana republic was first coined in 1904 by American writer O. Henry. A banana republic is a country with an economy of state capitalism, whereby the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class.
Adhering to the rule of law is the direct opposite of being a Banana Republic.

Agreed. You don't have to look very deep into his first term as president to see how he enriched not only himself but also his family. What made them so qualified for the valued positions they were given other than being his children. And nobody took issue with this.
