Trump family deal spree could open door for future presidents to profit from office

For the Trump family, business is booming. Whereas the Trump Organization didn’t do a single deal overseas in Donald Trump's first term as president, it did eight in the past year. It got more than double the money in four months selling Trump “meme” coins than it did in four years running a massive Washington D.C. hotel. And there are more potential conflicts as the family makes money investing in companies dependent on federal contracts and seeking taxpayer funded grants and loans. While past presidents avoided even the appearance of profiting from their office, some historians worry how Trump's approach might influence future holders of the office.
