All the president’s millions: how the Trumps are turning the presidency into riches

Since Donald Trump's re-election, his family's global business dealings, led by his sons Don Jr. and Eric, have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and corruption.

Critics accuse the Trumps of operating a "pay to play" system, suggesting that those who do business with the family may receive preferential treatment from the U.S. government. Examples cited include a Balkan prosecutor facing pressure to drop a case, Vietnamese villagers facing eviction, and a crypto kingpin in the Gulf receiving a pardon. While no explicit quid pro quos have been proven, the Trumps' business activities are raising ethical questions about potential abuse of public office for private gain and the implications for American democracy and global corruption.
