The REAL cost of Presidential Corruption
Unprecedented Profiteering from the Presidency
Donald Trumps time in office has brought something new and dangerous into American politics: a president who turns the presidency into a personal cash machine. Its not even subtle.
A New York Times investigation found that Trumps family has made more than $320 million from things like crypto deals, real estate ventures not to mention the private jet from Qatar worth $400 million. And yes, he plans to keep the jet.
Past presidents had scandals remember Watergate or Teapot Dome? But this is something different. Trumps kids, like Don Jr., Eric, and son-in-law Jared Kushner, used their family name and political power to ink deals with foreign governments and big businesses. They didnt even try to hide it.
The Stark Reality of Open Corruption
Here are just a few wild examples:
Melania Trump scored a $40 million movie deal, bankrolled by Jeff Bezos, which was reportedly more than 4 times any other bid and the most Amazon has ever paid for a documentary.
