YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIt’s not the stars aligning, Eric. Your dad is President. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Ben Mankiewicz, and Judah Friedlander, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The Trumps aren’t shy about the big, fat bump their father’s public service has gifted to their private business, despite the glaring ethical concerns involved. “I think our brand is the hottest it has ever been,” Eric Trump told The New York Times in an interview from the Trump D.C. hotel. “The stars have all aligned.”
This is less a case of cosmic fate than of a presidential overreach, though. While a president is exempt from conflict-of-interest laws that govern most government employees, most presidents, pre-Trump, have been overcautious in avoiding the appearance of conflicts. President Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm, for one. At the very least, for the last several decades, commanders in chief have released their tax returns as a way to glean what conflicts could arise. That is something that President Trump has refused to do.
Because Trump did not divest from his businesses, he is personally financially benefiting from his perch in the Oval Office, as people around the world patronize his golf courses, hotels, and real-estate ventures in order to court the First Family’s opinion and pay for access to the leader of the free world.”*
