Donald Trump's presidency was not only the realization of political ambition- it was a money-making opportunity like no other. During those years, Trump engaged in an unprecedented spree of self-enrichment, ignoring-and often flaunting-brazen conflicts of interest. It was a pattern he had established decades earlier, when he led his casino company into bankruptcy, leaving other people in debt while he walked away with millions. As David Cay Johnston shows us, the Big Cheat turned the White House into a lucrative enterprise for himself, his family, and his friends, and he continued the grifting right up to his last days in office, when he raised more than $250 million for his phony "Stop the Steal" campaign-most of which went straight into his own pockets.
