Presidents running for re-election have traditionally worked to balance official government business with campaign activity.

Trump's penchant for blurring the lines came to a head last week when he confirmed he was considering giving his acceptance speech for the Republican presidential nomination from the White House South Lawn. The president's move is "a form of stealing" by subsidizing his campaign with taxpayer funds, one ethics veteran said. |
