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.

Critics warn the administration’s profiteering betrays working-class supporters and undermines public trust.
