President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump have recently made headlines for their new ventures that are raising alarms among ethics watchdogs. Just days before Trump took office, meme coins were released, and a pre-inaugural party was held at a property owned by his company. Additionally, a Saudi-backed golf tournament is scheduled to take place at a Trump club this spring.
Ethics watchdogs have criticized Trump's actions, stating that he appears poised to financially benefit from his final term in office in new and lucrative ways. Concerns have been raised about potential conflicts of interest and violations of ethics standards.
