Trump is trying to distract from his own financial conflicts
By spewing nonsense about Barack Obama’s post-presidency book deal, Donald Trump is trying to distract from his own conflicts of interest when it comes to his business dealings.
While Obama signed a lucrative book deal after leaving office, Trump is profiting from the presidency each and every day.
As was previously reported, Saudi Arabian lobbyists
pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into Trump’s D.C. hotel in 2017 alone. In 2016, within a month of Trump’s election victory, the Saudis paid for a whopping 500 nights at his D.C. hotel,
according to The Washington Post.
The
Post also noted last year that revenue at Trump’s hotel in New York went up for the first time in two years last spring thanks to a boost from the Saudis.
Trump likes to complain, as he did again on Tuesday, that the presidency has cost him a fortune, but there is no evidence to support that claim.
In fact, the more we discover about Donald Trump’s financial interests, the more it appears he is profiting from the presidency.
