Author Tells Why Trump is the Worst Profiteering US President in History
The Californer/10326058

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- "Stupid," "and a deal is a deal."  In an unguarded moment Trump scolded himself for not cashing in on the presidency during his first term. He made it clear he wouldn't make that mistake in his second go-round. He was as good as his word. Within a couple of months of his taking office in his second term his wealth had soared.

Trump was determined that he wouldn't make that supposed mistake again. He wasted no time in the days after his re-election virtually tacking up a sign that he was ready to do business. He hosted business and investor groups of all stripes. He announced new investment deals for his luxury residential developments, hotels, resorts and golf properties with Middle East and Asian oligarchs and governments. He plunged heavily into the crypto-currency conglomerates.

Trump was not bothered by any scruples and openly boasted that anyone should be ecstatic at having his brand on hotels and resorts in their city or country. All, of course, for a hefty price.

In Trump for Sale, political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson examines the clash over what a president can and can't do with his businesses and investments while in the White House. He details the Constitutional prohibition on emoluments. That clause supposedly set the standards that limited presidents from profiteering while serving.

He compares Trump's stupendous money grab in office with how other presidents have handled the issue of wealth building in office. He details the colossal thirst of Trump to profiteer from the presidency.

Trump for Sale presents a dark and disturbing picture of how a president has practically made corruption an article of faith and practice in the Oval Office. Hutchinson warns of its dire consequences for the country.
