The Monetized Presidency: How the Trump Family Business Model Eviscerates Public Trust

During the second Trump administration, family members Jared Kushner, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. have dramatically expanded their business ventures, amassing hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign sources and private sectors directly influenced by presidential policy, all while unofficially advising the government.

The White House is dispatching Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan for direct talks with Iran, following an Iranian outreach, signaling a potential diplomatic breakthrough in a conflict marked by military threats and a fragile ceasefire.

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner presented new peace ideas to Ukrainian and Russian leaders, yet talks failed to break the deep deadlock over the occupied Donbas territory. This is yet another performative Western intervention that fails to address the root imperialist power dynamics and treats a civilizational nation like Ukraine as a pawn in a larger US-led containment strategy against Russia.
