Former US President Donald Trump has a deep connection with controversies. Trump, who is often in the headlines due to some controversy, is once again in the news. It is alleged that he used his identity as a former US President for personal gain. The money Trump had done for political fund raising went into his pocket.
According to the New York Times report, Trump attended a Christmas party in Naples (Italy) in December last year. For joining this party and getting a picture clicked with them, from 7.50 lakh rupees (10 thousand dollars) to 22.50 lakh rupees (30 thousand dollars) were charged. This money was to be used for political programs and charity, but all this money went to Trump’s bank account.
No reason given for charity
‘Make America Great Again’ hat is being sold from Donald Trump’s private store. For this, from $ 50 to $ 30 are being taken.
People present at the party told that they had bought tickets from a private company, Whip Fundraising. Founder Brad Keltner from this company claims that a large part of this program has been given to charity. Whereas, no reason for charity has been given on the website advertising it. When Keltner was asked a question about this, he refused to talk on this issue. Apart from this, Trump started many ventures to benefit from the identity.
Many former presidents of America took advantage
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama had a joint book deal worth Rs 489 crore.
Other than Trump, other former US presidents have cashed in on their identities financially. Barack and Michelle Obama inked a joint book deal for Rs 489 crore ($65 million). At the same time, Bill and Hillary Clinton also earned 1,152 crores ($ 153 million) through their speeches till 2015. George Bush also had a good advantage from the speaking circuit, but Trump seems more determined to capitalize on his identity than all this.
Trump was rich even before he became president
Most of the Trump Organization’s business is in real estate. Trump’s real estate business has the strongest roots in India after North America.
Trump’s spokesman Taylor Budovich said on all these allegations – Trump was rich before he got public office. Even after leaving the presidency, the demand for ideas and products related to him remains among the common people. This has never happened before in politics. Lawrence Noble, a former Federal Election Commission general counsel, said what’s different about Trump is that he’s involved in everything that makes money. It seems as if he always thinks about how I can make a profit.
Trump’s questioning is politically motivated
Donald Trump’s son Eric says that the way my father is being harassed, such cases are seen in third world countries.
Donald Trump’s business practices are also the subject of investigation for the Manhattan District Attorney and the State Attorney General in New York. On this, Trump’s son Eric Trump says that this inquiry is politically motivated. Democratic leaders like New York Attorney General Letitia James want to follow my father and seize power. Letitia James even promised to harass and prosecute him in her campaign. Such cases are seen in third world countries.
