For a man who claims not to take a salary for his role as president, Trump sure is profiting from his presidency in every way, shape, and form. At the headquarters of the Coast Guard Exchanges in Washington, D.C., as well as in Centreville, Virginia, Trump-branded wine and cider are for sale. Now, the sales aren't a direct legal violation because the President is exempt from most federal conflict-of-interest laws, but they raise ethical concerns about the Trump Organization profiting from the presidency.
Forbes reports :
Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin confirmed the exchanges were carrying Trump wines in a statement to Forbes, saying, “The brave men and women of the USCG are pleased to be able to buy Trump wine and cider tax free.”
