"Line his pockets" nghĩa là gì?

Tiền từ hệ thống đua xe F1 đã chảy quá nhiều vào túi Bernie. Photo courtesy Paul Williams.

'Line one's pockets' nghĩa giống như trục lợi từ hệ thống để moi tiền cho bản thân, lo nhét đầy túi (if money or a system is lining someone's pockets, that person is receiving too much money or is receiving money that is not intended for them); -> 'lợi dụng chức vụ, quyền hạn' 'thu vén cá nhân' :)

Ví dụ
He only cares to represent wealthy corporate donors who power his campaign and line his pockets.

It's a safe bet that he will be more inclined to listen to those who line his pockets than his constituents.

For Trump, the United Nations is not a venue for weighty issues like war and peace to be hashed (làm hỏng, làm rối tinh lên) out, but just another venue for him to sign up new condo residents to line his pockets.

As usual if Bernie is not a player or it does not benefit him he's negative. He's done enough in the last ten years to both hurt F1 and line his pockets. I wish he'd just go away. Unless he could rid us of the halo. He might deserve a cheer.
