Conflict of Interest

Definition

An abstract, entirely imaginary legal theory invented by ethics watchdogs to suggest that a president shouldn't use the White House as a promotional billboard for his family's hotels, private golf clubs, and newly launched crypto ventures. In reality, there is no "conflict" because my personal bank account and the national interest are essentially the same thing, and anything that directly enriches me is, by definition, fantastic for the country.
