Trump is very proud of himself for selling access to the White House
President Donald Trump is openly using the White House to accept personal bribes, providing access and influence over his presidency. Two recent developments show Trump using his public office to take in millions for his own benefit.
The Trump family is offering a private dinner at the White Housewhich is owned by the American taxpayersto the winner of an auction for their $TRUMP cryptocurrency. The auction, which will end on Monday, has attracted millions of dollars in bids from people hoping that handing off their money to Trump will give them access to his presidency.
So far, the Trump family and its partners have earned over $1.3 million from fees relating to trading of the currency. Trading spiked after the contest was announced. Of course, such a nakedly corrupt process likely breaks several securities laws, but Trumps appointees are unlikely to investigate the corruption.
This absolutely would have triggered an initial investigation, a veteran enforcement attorney who worked at the Securities and Exchange Commission for 18 years told The New York Times.
