At the latest White House cabinet meeting, Donald Trump prominently showcased a new $55 hat that is exclusively sold through his family’s Trump Store. The new red hat features patriotic imagery like the American flag, an eagle, and Mount Rushmore — but all of these Trump-linked products have reignited the need for a fresh conversation about presidential blind trusts.
This cabinet meeting was particularly high-stakes. The administration was updating the press on ongoing negotiations with Iran, immigration policy, and the upcoming 250th anniversary celebrations of the United States. Footage from the meeting showed the hats placed in front of cabinet secretaries alongside presidential challenge coins.
