Trump makes strange claim that ‘George Washington had two desks’ to justify getting rich off his presidency

Donald Trump claimed Monday that George Washington maintained separate desks for business and presidential duties to justify his family's wealth accumulation during his second presidency. Speaking at a White House event launching Trump Accounts for children, Trump said his sons' cryptocurrency ventures and other business interests were comparable to historical presidential precedent, though historians have found no evidence Washington used two desks as described. The Trump family has gained over $2.3 billion from crypto ventures since Trump's return to office, raising conflict-of-interest concerns as foreign governments have purchased shares in their cryptocurrency organization.
