Summary

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's planned Albanian resort development has triggered days of public protests. This represents a potential conflict of interest involving family members of the administration.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Monitor whether any U.S. government resources, diplomatic pressure, or policy decisions favor this Albanian project, which would elevate this from private business to actual corruption.

Why This Score

This scores very low on constitutional damage (A=3) because Ivanka and Jared hold no official government positions in this administration, making this a private business deal with reputational but not governance implications. The mechanism is norm_erosion_only with international scope affecting narrow populations. However, it scores moderately high on distraction (B=46) due to strong media friendliness (easy corruption narrative), significant coverage-to-governance mismatch, and pattern-matching to familiar Trump family business conflicts that generate headlines without institutional levers.
