NEW: President Trump racked up thousands of conflicts of interest in his first term. This time around, the corruption is even worse.

Here’s what we found in the first six months. 🧵
CREW is tracking Trump’s conflicts of interest tied to his real estate empire, including:

-Visits to Trump properties
-Events held at Trump properties
-Promotion of Trump business interests

The pattern is clear: it’s all happening more this time around.
So far this term, Trump has made 99 visits to his properties, including 62 visits to his golf courses—a 37% increase from last term.

That’s basically a visit to his businesses every other day. Image

Sean Duffy was just named acting NASA administrator—while *still* serving as transportation secretary.

But Duffy’s not the only one. Both of Trump’s terms have been full of officials wearing multiple hats. 🧵
Trump has made a habit of handing out high-powered roles to political allies.

And these double-duty appointments are by design.
In his first term, Trump made then-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin the Governor of the International Monetary Fund. That same year, he appointed four inspectors general to conflicting dual roles, weakening oversight where it was most needed.

It’s been over 100 days of President Trump’s second term, and the threats posed by his conflicts of interest are only increasing. Trump is poised to be even more corrupt than he was in his first term.

Here’s why: 🧵
Trump has created an untold number of conflicts of interest by failing to divest from his business interests before taking office.

Therefore, he is likely violating the Emoluments Clauses, which are designed to prohibit financial conflicts of interest by sitting presidents, ensuring that they are accountable to the American public as opposed to foreign leaders.

Tonight, President Trump is hosting an “intimate” private dinner for the top holders of his $TRUMP memecoin. It’s an unprecedented pay-to play stunt and one of the most corrupt events we’ve ever seen.

Here’s what you need to know: 🧵
First off, memecoins are a type of cryptocurrency based on an online joke and are known for not having any utility beyond speculation.

Before Trump launched his own memecoin, he was a skeptic, saying the value is “based on thin air.”
Evidently he was persuaded by the opportunity to profit, and launched $TRUMP days before his inauguration. The value skyrocketed and then plummeted, causing investors to lose billions. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Marco Rubio is simultaneously serving in three government roles—but has only been confirmed by the Senate for one.

Here’s why that’s a problem 🧵
Rubio was confirmed as Secretary of State on January 20. On February 3, Trump made him the Acting Administrator of USAID.

Then, Trump made him NARA’s Acting Archivist.
Rubio is not the only government official to serve in multiple roles.

In fact, Trump also made Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins the Acting Director of the Office of Government Ethics.

Donald Trump fired the director of the Office of Government Ethics and tried to fire the Office of Special Counsel in under 24 hours—two offices that ensure the administration is complying with the law and ethics rules.

Clearly, he wants to run a lawless administration. 🧵
