Trump has bundled two of his long-favored political targets—federal government spending and the media—into one attack while offering no evidence for his claims.
The article from Time discusses a report by Politico detailing how former President Donald Trump's businesses received millions in government payments during his presidency, despite his pledge to avoid conflicts of interest. The report highlights that Trump's properties, including hotels and golf courses, were paid for by various government entities, including the Secret Service, the Department of Defense, and even foreign governments, which could potentially violate the Constitution's emoluments clause. This has led to significant scrutiny and criticism regarding Trump's business dealings while in office. Fact-checking by The New York Times and the Associated Press confirmed these transactions, emphasizing the ethical and legal concerns surrounding Trump's financial entanglements. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, who has been vocal about his own business dealings with the government, particularly through SpaceX and Tesla, has not faced similar scrutiny, although his companies also receive substantial government contracts. The comparison between Trump and Musk underscores the different public and media reactions to government payments to private businesses run by high-profile figures.
