There is a conflict of interest but the reimbursement has to be within legal limits.
The conflict of interest can be worse like having your own charity or foundation
"but the scale of payments to Trump's own businesses was unprecedented."
This is what the problems is.
What he is doing is legal.
But is legal always right?
reply
It’s only unprecedented because it’s Trump. If it was Biden the media wouldn’t care

Im pretty sure they did their research.
"Such payments are legal as long as the campaign pays fair market value, but the scale of payments to Trump's own businesses was unprecedented."
He is only going to his businesses so that he can legally "earn" his campaign funds.

I don’t doubt their research. Trump faces the most scrutiny. Others are Elon and Saylor.
If the regime likes you, they hide their research.
Regarding Trump businesses, why patronize another business if you don’t have to?
reply
I think everyone faces the scrutiny.
Only Trump is the one doing these kind of things.

You are being naive.
The media is not objective.
The hunter Biden laptop story was suppressed in 2020 and definitely affected how people voted.
Suppression is the opposite of scrutiny

Am I?
I realize the news picks and chooses what it wants the public to know.
But this is the reality.

What are your thoughts?
Am I being naive, or is this just the truth?

@Satosora I am not defending Trump. He is a shark even though some of his policies I support and would prefer him over Biden, however, the U.S. deserves better. I am not a U.S. citizen but I admire the founding values of the U.S. and hope they can get their shit together and start living them again.
That being said, I haven't looked at the research but I would not be surprised if Trump is doing shady or at least unethical things. However, believing that Biden or the Democrats are not engaging in these shady practices is misguided. The mainstream media is left leaning and pro Democrats. Just think of Sam Bankman-Fried donating to Democrats publically and to Republicans dark. Media nowadays is mainly manipulating with two tools. 1) endless repetition (hoping that a lie will eventually be seen as the truth) 2) willful omission. and in the case of Biden, a lot is happily om1000 satitted. He also had classified documents stored where they shouldn't be. No big deal. Hunter's excesses, no big deal that naughty boy. His interestes in Ukrainian companies and the war effort, no big deal.
Big state is always a swamp where scum is building up.
I like to play a little what if rhetorical game here. Answer truly to yourself, but post what you like of course.
What if Obama behaved as Trump has and does? All off it. Would you be here arguing his side?
NPR is not reality.
In fact NPR staff is 99 percent left wing and should be defunded. Same goes for PBS. Taxpayers should not pay for one sided propaganda
