  • In the two months since the election, President-elect Donald Trump has urged his nearly 8.5 million followers on Truth Social to buy limited edition guitars that bear his signature and Trump-themed fragrances that "represent winning.

The article from MSN discusses the ethical concerns surrounding former President Donald Trump's business dealings during his presidency. It highlights how Trump's refusal to divest from his business empire led to potential conflicts of interest, as his properties continued to host foreign dignitaries and government events, possibly influencing his decisions.
