This represents textbook institutional capture and corruption. The firing of commission members specifically tasked with oversight of Trump construction projects creates direct conflict of interest and removes accountability mechanisms. Rule_of_law (4): Undermines oversight and accountability structures designed to prevent conflicts of interest. Separation (4): Compromises independence of oversight bodies from executive self-interest. Capture (5): Direct personnel manipulation to remove oversight of president's personal business interests - maximum score warranted. Corruption (5): Eliminates checks on potential self-dealing in construction projects with clear financial benefit to president. Mechanism modifier 1.4 applies for personnel_capture with direct removal of oversight. Severity multipliers: durability 1.1 (can be reversed but sets precedent), reversibility 0.9 (relatively easy to restore commission), precedent 1.2 (normalizes removal of conflict-of-interest oversight). B-score moderate: generates outrage due to obvious conflict of interest (8) and media-friendly corruption narrative (7), but limited meme potential (4) and novelty (3). Strategic layer shows pattern-matching to corruption concerns (4) but limited broader narrative utility. Intentionality elevated (8) given direct financial benefit and removal of specific oversight mechanism. D-score of +26.0 clearly places this on List A as constitutional damage far exceeds distraction value.
