Trump’s Weekend Golf Antics Land Him in Hot Water

Donald Trump’s weekend on the golf course has sparked another round of questions about how the Trump family is profiting from the presidency.

Trump has largely shrugged off the Saudi government’s alleged human rights abuses in his two terms.

Don Heider, executive director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics called on Congress to check the president on these potential conflicts.

“Where are the ethics of all the members of the Senate and the House? … Why are they so afraid of political pressure they won’t speak up and tell the truth consistently and hold this president accountable?” Heider said.
