“Trump’s tariff machinations—he has moved them more than 50 times since he took office—are also enriching the Trump family. Last week, Trump’s son Eric Trump joined Vietnam’s prime minister Pham Minh Chinh in a groundbreaking ceremony for a $1.5 billion luxury real estate development with three 18-hole golf courses outside the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi.
Vietnam sends more of its exports to the United States than to any other country, and after Trump hit Vietnam with 46% tariffs, top officials in Vietnam ignored the country’s own laws to ink a hurried deal with the Trumps to head the tariffs off. The Trump Organization is also cutting deals in Serbia, Indonesia, and the Middle East.”
Aren’t there limits to the use of Presidential powers to make personal deals to line one’s own pockets while in office?
Although it is not expressly illegal for the president to financially benefit himself or his family from using said powers, it ought to be.
These wavering tariffs and foreign deals with his organization prove that Trump is only out to increase his wealth and those around him
