On ABC's This Week, George Stephanopoulos sharply criticized President Donald Trump for allegedly profiting from his presidency in unprecedented ways. He highlighted how Trump and his family are reportedly making significant amounts of money, with potential earnings in the hundreds of millions or billions, by benefiting from official actions taken by the White House. The segment pointed to pardons granted to tax cheats and Trump's family's involvement in cryptocurrency, illustrating a concerning blend of policy and profit. Stephanopoulos concluded with a quote from David Frum, labeling Trump’s actions as uniquely corrupt in American history.
The scale is staggering. President Trump and his family are making hundreds of millions, potentially billions of dollars as Trump and his administration take official actions that benefit contributors and investors.
Nothing like this has been attempted or even imagined in the history of the American presidency. The brazenness of the self-enrichment resembles nothing seen in any earlier White House.
