Limited-edition \u201cAmerican Eagle\u201d guitars. T-branded golf shoes and \u201cFight Fight Fight\u201d high-top sneakers.<\/p>\n
These are just a sample of the many products licensed to bear President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s brand, including some that he has promoted on his social media site Truth Social just weeks before his inauguration. If he continues to hawk his merchandise after returning to the White House, that could raise ethical concerns.<\/p>\n
Consumer goods may be the least of Trump\u2019s issues, however. He has a number of business ventures \u2014 including his social media platform, a nascent crypto firm, and the Trump Organization\u2019s partnerships in the Middle East \u2014 that could present conflicts of interest, make the presidency vulnerable to foreign influence, and violate federal law.”<\/p>\n
