Presidential Conflicts of Interest

Perhaps it is a bigger drop than most think. Remember, this is the guy American banks won't lend money to, who did not release his tax returns, who bankrupted a casino, who says he states his net worth based, "On how I feel that day."

So, I am not sure he is worth billions. And, as you state, unethical is unethical, regardless of the size of your bank account and in spite of what Trump and many of his supporters would have you believe. Nixon said, "If the president does it, it isn't illegal." Trump et al would paraphrase that to, "If a rich guy does it, it isn't illegal."
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
