    AP-NORC poll shows majority believes Trump prioritizes personal wealth over country

    The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research released a poll finding that about 6 in 10 U.S. adults believe Trump is either illegally profiting or acting unethically but not illegally from the presidency. Just over half say Trump has prioritized his personal financial interests "a lot" since returning to the White House, while only about one-quarter say he emphasizes the country equally.

    “His wealth increases, but the people in the country are just barely getting by.”
