Sounds to me you're OK with pervasive corruption then. How many book deals do you know of that include a $65M payday? Especially a ghostwritten book which few people will ever read. Most book authors barely scrape by. Pearson will almost certainly lose money on this, if you exclude the Common Core contract.

Best thing would be if the president's family already had successful businesses and did not expand them thanks to "the name", which is what we have now. Mike Pence's family also didn't suddenly become "very talented" either it looks like, or we'd know about it already.

At a minimum, I want the "free press" and the various oversight bodies to scrutinize this shit with a magnifying glass and drag it into the open _irrespective_ of the political affiliation of whoever is in the White House.
