Mary Trump - "I Don't Think about Americans' Finances"
Before the Trump meme coins, before the Trump Bibles, before the Trump gold sneakers, there was Trump steak and Trump vodka, Trump water, Trump University, Trump Airlines, and Trump Mortgage. Each one was launched with ridiculous amounts of fanfare. Each one went bankrupt. In the case of Trump University, it was sued and had to pay $25 million.
What is different now is that Donald is in the Oval Office. When a sitting president sells a product, the buyer is not just a customer. The buyer is potentially an investor. Selling products not only violates the Emoluments Clause, it also gives him a massive platform from which to sell those products, which in turn constitutes an unfair advantage. It is also highly unusual. The number of retail goods all previous presidents combined marketed to the American people is zero.
Donald’s financial disclosure ran 234 pages. Biden’s 2024 disclosure was 11 pages and consisted largely of conventional bank and retirement accounts. I want to provide some information on what Donald and his family have for sale. Every dollar figure listed here comes directly from Donald’s own federal financial disclosures filed with the Office of Government Ethics.
Watches brought in $2.8 million. They are operated under a license agreement with a company called The Best Watches on Earth LLC, which is registered in Wyoming. CNN investigated the so-called Swiss-made claim and traced the operation to a small Wyoming city.
