  Here's a look at the various connections and potential conflicts in President-elect Donald Trump's second administration.

The article from WHYY discusses the intertwining of politics and business interests during Donald Trump's presidency, highlighting how Trump's business dealings and those of his family members potentially influenced or were influenced by his political decisions. It points out that Trump did not fully divest from his business empire, instead handing control to his sons, which raised concerns about conflicts of interest. The piece mentions several instances where Trump's policies or actions could benefit his businesses, like the promotion of Trump-branded properties during official visits or the potential impact of tax reforms on his real estate holdings. Furthermore, it notes the lack of transparency regarding foreign government payments to Trump's businesses, which could violate the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution. The article also touches on the broader implications of such practices, suggesting that they could normalize the blending of personal business with public office, setting a precedent for future administrations.
