We'll call that fair.
That's not making money off of the presidency.
The only deals that I've focused on are the ones where it was just inconceivable that Trump or his family would have made this money, would have done this deal, sold this crypto or
agreed to manage this property for some lucrative contract if he weren't the president.
Well, there's tons.
Ambassador is a classic example.
Ambassadorships are routinely, I would say, in every presidency given to big donors.
Secretary of Commerce is one position where that often happens.
So he's not the first to sell access.
He's not the first, really, to sell position.
And I don't want to defend it, but it's routine and it's familiar.
It's what they all do.
President Clinton famously let donors stay in a Lincoln bedroom.
That's a notorious example.
That's not what we're talking about here.
Trump is the first president to make so much money explicitly off of the White House for himself and his family.
Money that actually goes into his own pocket that he can use at his pleasure after he leaves office.
So that's really what I tried to focus on.
So I'm counting cash in hand.
I'm counting money that has been paid to the Trump family that they've put into the bank.
