We Must Never Normalize the Trump Presidency

e must not normalize the fact that the president and his family are personally profiting from foreign business deals while they serve in government.

According to a new report, Jared Kushner's real-estate company has received a $30 million investment from Menora Mivtachim, one of Israel’s largest financial institutions. The deal comes as Trump has tasked Kushner with developing the administration's Middle East strategy and brokering peace talks betweens the Israelis and Palestinians.

Under any other administration, this sort of conflict of interest would be a major scandal. The story would dog the White House for weeks, congress would demand answers, and officials would be forced to resign. But in the Trump era, these stories have become the norm. We must not let it.
