N
o modern president has jumped so directly from the world of business to the presidency as has Donald John Trump.
In so doing, Trump has refused to do as his predecessors have done:
Sever ties to the companies or financial interests that may pose or present the appearance of a conflict of interest.
By keeping his assets in a family-managed trust, which he can revoke at any time, (President) Trump and his family are in the unique position to profit directly from his public service.

Special interests in Washington have caught on.
Those seeking to curry favor with (the U.S. President) Trump are not only donating to his reelection campaign but are holding fundraisers and galas at his resorts, private clubs and hotels – the proceeds of which benefit Donald John Trump and his family.
2008-2020
Total payments to Trump properties:
$18,740,694
From Trump-related committees:
$15,255,778
From the Republican Party:
$1,895,777
From Republican candidates, elected officials, leadership PACs:
$906,183
From Democrats:
$46,347

P
erhaps the White House will be renamed the Trump House.
