“Be allergic to free stuff.”

That’s the line I used to deliver in every ethics training I gave to White House staff when I was associate White House counsel under President Barack Obama. It captured, in plain English, a core principle of public service: You are there to serve the public, not your own interests, and even small gifts corrode judgment and squander the public trust.
.
It feels resonant this Presidents Day to understand that the opposite has become the norm, despite what our founders envisioned. The Wall Street Journal recently reported on a $500 Million transaction between an Emirati royal and Presidunce Spanky’s cryptocurrency firm, World Financial Liberty, that had sent $187 Million to entities tied to the Trump family just four days before his 2025 inauguration. Amazingly, this has all but fallen out of the news.
.
The disturbing pattern of access, leniency and policy increasingly intertwined with private financial benefit includes the president pardoning Changpeng Zhao, the convicted founder of the crypto exchange Binance, “following months of efforts by Zhao to boost the Trump family’s own crypto company,” as the Journal reported in October. And the Securities and Exchange Commission dropped a fraud lawsuit against crypto billionaire Justin Sun after he bought “more than $90 Million worth of two of the Trump family’s cryptocurrencies.”
