Critics argue the deal raises alarming constitutional questions about executive power, self-dealing, and whether a president can use the federal government to shield himself, his family, and affiliated businesses from future scrutiny. The debate is reigniting concerns over checks and balances, political favoritism, and whether America’s institutions are being pushed toward dangerous territory.
