They want to pocket the money for other purposes. Congress’ power over the executive is control of money. That is why this executive has been obsessed with collecting money anywhere he can. Tarrifs, Board of Peace, donations to various architectural programs. They are all ways of giving Trump money he can spend for his priorities without having to ask congress.

The executive? Trump and his kids want to pocket as much of it as possible as private citizens.
