The Christmas gifts given by President Donald Trump to his advisors are under scrutiny, with values that may have reached 45 thousand dollars. This situation raises questions about the appropriateness and transparency of this type of gifts in the governmental context.
According to a White House official consulted on the matter, Trump has a "long-standing practice" of giving Christmas gifts to people in his personal circle, both in the government sector and in the private sector.
This practice occurs at a time when ethical issues related to the Trump administration have already been the subject of public debate, particularly with regard to conflicts of interest and the separation between personal business and governmental duties.
The fact that the gifts could reach such high values as 45 thousand dollars has been raising questions about whether these can be considered common seasonal gifts or if they represent other types of benefits that should be more thoroughly regulated and reported.
