"It appears that public concern about ethics in the Trump administration is waning. One reason may be the sheer volume of controversy generated by the White House.
Kathleen Clark, a professor of law and ethics, suggests a second reason. "We have become desensitized," she told NPR. "We're so used to Trump conflicts of interest and abuse of office, that when he promotes his vineyard and lies about it, it's just a blip." There are many blips." With Trump White House, Are Ethics Issues Becoming Just Part Of The Scenery? : NPR ""Remember, every president since the enactment of the Ethics in Government Act in the '70s has divested conflicting assets," Shaub said in an interview. Instead, Trump has moved his businesses to a revocable trust, of which he is the sole beneficiary, and his properties haven't disappeared from the picture. At his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and Bedminster golf club in New Jersey, Trump likes to pose for snapshots with members and guests. As the Washington Post reported this month, his hotel in Washington, D.C., a few blocks from the White House, has become a de facto — and premium-priced — gathering spot for the administration, its allies and backers." |
