135 million dollars "for the parties": Trump's gifts to three White House advisors raise questions

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 12:09

Donald Trump gave Christmas cash gifts worth tens of thousands of dollars to four of his White House collaborators. The payments included three individual deliveries of 45,000 dollars each, equivalent to approximately 38,300 euros, and another payment of 20,000 dollars, totaling 135,000 dollars.

The beneficiaries of these payments were White House advisors, although the specific names are not mentioned in the article. The gifts were described as "for the holidays" in the related documentation.

These payments raise doubts and questions about their nature and regulation. The practice of offering such high cash amounts to government collaborators raises concerns about potential violations of ethical rules or conflicts of interest.

The article suggests that giving cash gifts of this magnitude to White House officials is considered atypical and requires greater transparency, although no official reactions from Trump or the White House to the raised questions are mentioned.

The commentator highlights what he considers to be selective hypocrisy of these artists in their condemnation of certain figures while participating in an event associated with Stalinist regimes responsible for millions of deaths.
