The press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, said on Friday that it was “ridiculous” to believe that President Trump personally benefits from his time in the White House and calls on any questions about questions about the business companies in his family.

Before Trump's trip to the Middle East Next week, Leavitt urged the question of whether family members join him and whether the president has plans to meet people who are connected to the family business in the region.

“Not as far as I know and simply let me come to the premise of your question that you both raised. I think it is honestly ridiculous that someone in this room even suggests that President Trump does something for his own advantage. He has a life with luxury and a life in a very successful real estate empire for the public service, not just,” but two, “she said.

Trump and his family have several business companies in the Middle East.

The Trump organization, which is operated by the son of the President Eric Trump, recently approved a new golf course and real estate contract in the Middle East in the last month before the President's trip next week. President Trump will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

Leavitt insisted that the President, whose net assets of Forbes was into the billion years old, has lost money since his term in office and that reporter was pushing why the bidges were not questioned whether the former president earns money as president.

“The American public was re -elected [Trump] Back to this white house because you trust, he acts in the best interest in our country and puts the American public in the first place. This is a president who actually lost money to be President of the United States, ”said Leavitt.

“I don't remember the same kind of questions that my predecessor have been asked about a career politician who clearly benefited all of this office. This is not what President Trump does, and this white house holds us the highest ethical standards.”

The first question during the briefing on Friday was about Trump's plans to take part in a dinner with the top owners of his Meme coin next month, which was unveiled shortly before he took office in January.

Leavitt insisted that Trump took part in dinner, no conflict of interest.

“The president adheres to all laws of conflicts of interest. The president has been incredibly transparent over the years with his own personal financial obligations. The president is a successful businessman, and I think it is one of the many reasons why people have returned to this office,” said Leavitt.

The reporter then pushed Leavitt on whether investors who think that the purchase of the coin influences the President's views waste her money.

“I can assure you that the President only dominates the interest of the American public and puts our country in the first place to do the best for our country. Full station,” said Leavitt.

The event, which is planned for May 22nd in the Trump's Golf Club near Washington, is advertised as an opportunity to hear from Trump about the future of cryptocurrency “first -hand”. The 25 top -25 holders also receive an invitation to an “exclusive” reception with the president and a “special” tour in the White House.
