You probably already know Trump is profiting off his presidency.

What you might not know—because it’s never been reported in one place—is how every corner of Trump’s administration has enabled it.

We found 19 policies. Seriously, read them all:
citizensforethics.org/trump-administ…
FBI scrapped HQ relocation in favor of renovation, potentially blocking hotel competition.

WH announced troop withdrawal in Syria, benefiting Turkey, where there’s a Trump branded property.

Tax cuts in 2017 offered tax deductions favorable to real estate developers.
Obviously, Trump tried to host the G-7 at his resort.

Trump earned about $20 million from sale of a property approved by HUD.

A clean water rule rollback was favorable for golf courses. Trump owns 12.

Trump imposed European wine tariffs, and profits from an American vineyard.
State bypassed Congress to allow foreign gov’ts to lease at Trump World Tower without approval.

Trump rolled back an OSHA penalty for workplace injuries. He’s been cited for safety violations at work cites.

EPA approved a pesticide that golf courses pushed for. Trump has 12.
Opportunity Zones could qualify Trump (and Kushner) properties for tax breaks.

Labor Dept. proposed an H-2A Visa overhaul making it easier for employers to apply (like the vineyard).

Labor Dept. announced a H-2B Visa expansion. Trump properties employed many H-2B workers.
DOJ wouldn’t defend an overtime policy that could affect 7 restaurants in Trump hotels.

WH limited EEOC reports from businesses with more than 100 employees. Trump has several.

Interior proposed protest restrictions on areas including the sidewalk outside Trump’s DC hotel.
Interior loosened regulations allowing wealthy coasts to use protected sand. Trump has branded beachfront properties.

Trump’s DOJ & FBI oversee investigation into Deutsche Bank, where Trump has $350 million+ in loans.

Trump stands to save millions from Fed rate reductions.
The scope of Trump’s corruption is bigger than any one scandal—it’s the defining feature of his presidency.

If you know a policy we should investigate, send us a tip, we’ll be updating the page.
