Trump Profits From Presidency Exposed

The New Yorker lays out how Donald Trump and his family could pocket more than 3.4 billion dollars by the end of his second term. The report points to deals tied to the Trump Organization in the Persian Gulf, including hotels and golf courses in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. It also notes a private Boeing 747-8 gifted by the Qatari royal family and a flood of Trump branded merchandise that stays tied to his name. In addition, the investigation highlights profits from crypto ventures, including the TRUMP memecoin and a MELANIA memecoin that helped move large sums of money.

The piece raises a clear question about how a public office might interact with private wealth. It suggests that naming rights and licensing can become a pathway to profits that did not exist before political influence. This is part of a broader debate about ethics rules, disclosure, and the limits of influence in a modern, global economy. As wealth intertwines with politics, the public may demand stronger safeguards and more transparency.
