Donald Trump Jr.'s tour through India is staggeringly corrupt

Donald Trump Jr.’s tour through India is staggeringly corrupt

Indian newspapers have been running advertisements that promise homebuyers willing to pay a roughly $38,000 booking fee an opportunity to “join Mr. Donald Trump Jr. for a conversation and dinner.”

Government ethics experts in the US are appalled by that prospect, and say that the arrangement encourages Indians — especially those with ties to India’s government — to use purchases of Trump-branded property as a way to gain favor with the Trump administration.

This is just one example of the grifting taking place by Trump's family since he has taken office.


If the media is interested in the business dealing of candidates' family members, why isn't the media covering this?

And all the other trips Trump's grifter children have taken to various foreign countries to deal their influence?
