This is how much the former president made
Former President Donald Trump made roughly $160 million dollars from his business dealings outside the United States while in office according to a new corruption report.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a nonprofit organization that investigates corruption in American politics and they just released a damning report on Trump’s international business dealings while president.
Studying the former president's tax returns and financial data
According to CREW, the former president’s tax returns and financial data from the years he was in the Oval Office showed that he pulled in hundreds of millions of dollars in business earnings from foreign countries, many of which he had major conflicts of interest in.
Where did the money come from?
About one-third of the cash came from Trump’s Aberdeen and Turnberry golf course in Scotland, which netted the former president $58 million, while a now-closed hotel in Vancouver brought in 36.5 million from Canada.
Trump shouldn't have been earning this cash
The former president made $24.4 million in Ireland as well as another $9.7 million in Indonesia and 9.6 million in India, money which CREW’s Rebbecca Jacobs and Robert Maguire say Trump should have never been allowed to earn.
Trump never paused his foreign business
“When it came to foreign conflicts of interest, Trump and his company pledged to pause foreign business. They did not,” the report added before listing some of the most glaring issues that occurred during the former president’s time in office.
A example of alleged corruption
A good example of the former president’s obvious conflicts of interest came in 2018 when he allegedly asked the then-U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom to change the location of the British Open to his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland.
