CREW: “In the year since Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office, he has already racked up an astonishing number of conflicts of interest from the businesses that he owns and profits from as president. While everyday Americans continue to struggle to cover the rising costs of housing, groceries, utilities and other regular expenses, Trump’s profiteering has led to what Forbes magazine described as “the most lucrative year of [Donald Trump’s] life.” In his first 365 days back in office, Trump visited his properties 198 times, and visited his golf courses 116 times, sending a message to those looking to influence his administration that his properties are open for business. Foreign government officials visited his properties 55 times, pouring money into Trump’s pockets, and special interest groups held 57 events at them. Trump and his family profit financially. Special interests benefit. Foreign governments benefit. And everyday Americans come last. This corruption is not new. Trump’s first term in office was marred by egregious conflicts of interest arising from his decision not to divest from his real estate empire. CREW spent those four years meticulously tracking interactions between the Trump Organization and the presidency, totaling more than 3,700 conflicts of interest. CREW has continued tracking Trump’s conflicts in his second term, and the level of corruption and profiteering have already far surpassed the already ignominious standard he set in his first term…”
