Summary
Donald Trump’s second term has seen a surge in blatant conflicts of interest, with Trump and his allies using public office to enrich themselves.
Major ethical concerns include $100m in political donations from Elon Musk, a Qatari jet gifted to the government, and crypto ventures personally benefiting Trump.
Cabinet members retain or transfer business stakes to their sons, sidestepping conflict rules. Ethics experts and lawmakers call the behavior “unlawful” and “un-American.”
Critics warn the administration’s profiteering betrays working-class supporters and undermines public trust.
He’s not even six months into his term I’m curious what the last six months will look like.
There won’t be a last 6 months of his presidency. There will only be the last 6 months of his life.
Hopefully we’re in that 6 month window.
I hope so too, but I think that’s about ~15 years away
You think that fat fuck is going to live to his mid-nineties?
Just like his father did, yes. He’s got excellent healthcare to keep his black heart ticking.
Fuck it I’ll put $50USD that he won’t make it until ninety and another $100 that his term doesn’t exceed four years.
I’ll take the age bet, but if he gifts the presidency to someone else, that doesn’t count as ending.
There’s no conflict of interest if you were never interested in serving the public.
