This shit pisses me off.
If Biden/Obama/aoc were pulling this we’d hear about emoluments 24/7
But Trump does it and dems are like oh maybe we should just see what happens….
Then we have TrumpRX and Trump making millions off crypto
GDISM
What’s next?
They already did the trump phone and I’d argue trump steaks could qualify as trumpmart
At least Intel, and probably more, are already paying protection? I suppose it’s easier to collect protection than to organise a scam operation.
trump diapers he hasnt really capitalize on it yet. probably turmp glasses and sunglasses , fake gold edition with his signature.
we already have the trump drone company, im sure theres more
I just can’t get over him selling beans in the oval office. it’s so absurd
Everything is a test to see if they can push things further. Hocking a vocal ass-sniffing donor’s wares in an absurd and awkward showcase to troll the left while showing he was in on the joke was all part of a grift and a test.
If you can do something so seemingly incompetent and bizarre, then you’ve cleared an opening to inject something more malignant next time.

So technically, in this specific instance, Trump Mobile isn’t run by Donald Trump. It’s instead a separate company run by Don Jr and Eric Trump. That company is then licensing the “Trump” name from The Trump Organization.
Now The Trump Organization is owned by Donald Trump, although officially run by Don Jr, Eric, etc.
But you’re absolutely right that all of this is bullshit. It’s also why Trump is so pissed at New York AG Letitia James for investigating and uncovering all sorts of shady business practices.
You’re absolutely right that Congress should be doing something about it.

If Congress did something about it might highlight or stifle their own unethical profiteering.
