6. It's way worse than an "appearance of conflict of interest"

Much is what ethical people in government try to avoid at all times.

Donnie literally *profits* from the appearance of a conflict of interest! People and businesses do things like rent entire floors of buildings for him precisely because they expect something in return. Whether he gives them that or not is besides the point.

Massively epic corruption, profiting from his position of "public trust".

They call it that because the position involved the public trusting you to *not* do crap like this.
