PROFITING FROM THE PRESIDENCY
Donald Trump’s son Eric is planning a $1 billion eighty-story Trump International Hotel in Dubai featuring the highest swimming pool in the world. There are cryptocurrency ventures with $TRUMP memecoins. Kristie Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, poses glamorously in front of imprisoned, head-shaven, tattooed inmates in a Salvadoran jail wearing a $50,000 gold Rolex watch. Trump is planning a military parade in Washington to cost $45 million celebrating US weaponry: missiles and tanks in the streets. What a blast! While we worry about housing and food costs and whether there will be any Chinese toys to buy our children or grandchildren for Christmas, in Trumpworld the top dogs are flaunting their wealth and profiting from their proximity to the throne.
