At the start of Donald Trump's first term, he promised that he and his family would never do anything that might even be 'perceived to be exploitive of office of the Presidency.'
By contrast, his second term looks rapacious. He and members of his family have signed a blitz of foreign mega-deals shadowed by conflicts of interest.
They've launched at least five different cryptocurrency enterprises, all of which leverage Trump's status as President to lure buyers or investors.
Ethics watchdogs say that no other President has ever so nakedly exploited his position, or on such a scale.
