America is witnessing an unprecedented level of corruption from President Trump, who is brazenly using his position to enrich himself and his family businesses. His recent trip to the Gulf states exemplifies this, from accepting a luxurious $400 million private jet from Qatar to promoting his sons' business ventures in the region worth billions. Trump has merged his official duties with personal financial interests, disregarding ethical boundaries. This conduct is unacceptable and undermines democratic principles. Trump's children are directly profiting from his presidency through real estate deals and cryptocurrency schemes that sell access and influence. Foreign entities are effectively buying favor through investments in the Trump businesses. The president is supposed to serve the nation's interests, not exploit his power for personal gain. This level of corruption is simply unacceptable and represents a historic violation of ethics and democratic norms. Stringent measures must be taken to separate the presidency from the Trump family's private enterprises and investments. Oversight and accountability are urgently needed to rein in this abuse of public office for private enrichment. The American people deserve a president who works for the country, not himself.
