Screengrab and headline: New York Times, 12/31/2025
Lazaro Gamio and Amy Schoenfeld Walker report:
Since his return to office, President Trump and his family have engaged in a moneymaking campaign like none in modern American history.
It is enriching the family, as well as important officials and business partners.
The president’s family and allies are benefiting from their proximity to power, retaining or building stakes in industries that the government oversees and that Mr. Trump’s policies have boosted.
And several are negotiating deals with foreign governments, raising questions about the administration’s diplomatic priorities.
This tangled web is a hallmark of the president’s second term, where the lines between U.S. interests and those of Mr. Trump’s inner circle are blurred. [lots of emphasis added]
