Not 'an amazingly good look': MAGA revolts over Trump Jr. 'making bank' off father’s presidency

Right-wing pundit Ben Shapiro is among a growing list of MAGA voices scorching Donald Trump Jr. for “making bank” off his father’s presidency.

Trump Jr., who recently made news with the announcement that he may run for president, is already making good money as the son of the current one, reports The Daily Beast. Since his father's November win, Trump Jr. has joined at least eight corporate boards or advisory committees, and he is now executive vice president of development acquisitions at the holding company for most of his father’s business ventures.

That holding company, The Trump Organization, has signed a deal with a Qatari royal family-backed real estate company to construct a luxury golf course. It’s also gearing up to lease the Trump brand to two real estate projects in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and it plans a new Trump Tower in Jeddah. This does not include the Trump International Hotel and luxury golf development slated for Oman.

“None of this is an amazingly good look,” Shapiro said on his 'Ben Shapiro Show' podcast, after adding the “enormous amount of money” Donald Trump Jr. is making on the Trump memecoin and World Liberty Financial.

"... This raises awkward questions," he added.

Shapiro now joins MAGA minds like former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who recently agreed that Trump's lucrative deals in Middle East nations while negotiating international policy “seem like corruption.”

Shapiro argued: “This administration is doing too many important things to be bogged down with conversations about how members of the Trump family or the Witkoff family or any of the other families surrounding the administration are making bank in countries that President Trump is attempting to negotiate with. That is not a good thing.”

The White House recently threatened to use federal resources to launch an investigation into the company that owns Politico and Business Insider after Business Insider published the article, “Don Jr. Is the New Hunter Biden.” Trump administration “favorite” Matthew Boyle reports German media conglomerate Axel Springer exposed itself to federal review of its ownership of Politico and Business Insider, with an anonymous source claiming the White House was calling the publications a “German Influence Operation.”
