Washington Week with The Atlantic

How Trump is using presidential power to profit

Season 2025 Episode 22 | 16m 56s

Most presidents wait until they leave the White House to cash in, but President Trump takes a different approach. Crypto deals, hotels, golf courses, 747s, everything is on the table. The panel discusses the ways Trump is treating the White House, and Mar-a-Lago, as a place to make sure his children are even richer than he is.
