DAY 149: Trump favored Arab countries he has made business with and pubished those he hasn't

According to The New York Times, Donald Trump appears to be benefitting Arab countries in which his business have made money, and at the same time is punishing those he has not made money with.

Saudi Arabia, for example, by far the most favored of the Arab states by Trump, has made the Trump organization millions of dollars for putting the Trump name in a golf course.

On the other hand, Trump has never been able to make money with Qatar even though he tried for years. And guess what? Now Trump is applauding a diplomatic ban from other Arab nations against Qatar.

From the NYT article:

Now a feud has broken out among these three crucial American allies, and Mr. Trump has thrown his weight firmly behind the two countries where he has business ties, raising new concerns about the appearance of a conflict between his public role and his financial incentives.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

It sounds more like Trump used the presidency to benefit his own business interests.

And that is a clear conflict of interests.
