reno Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 58 Posts: 1384 | Because of the size & scope of the Trump Organization combined with the size & scope of the Oval Office's power, Trump will need to be extraordinarily disciplined to pass up opportunity after opportunity to exploit the Presidency for personal financial gain. With so much money at stake and so much power at his disposal, the situation is unprecedented. This article separates Trump's conflicts of interest into 6 categories: foreign affairs, banking, law enforcement, IRS, Trump's Washington DC Hotel, and oil pipeline permits.
I doubt that putting Ivanka, Eric, & Donald Jr. in charge of the company will be sufficient to prevent the scandals. He needs to take additional steps and create greater barriers between his business interests and the government. The scandals will be a time-wasting distraction from President Trump's real goal: making America great again. |

Like I said elsewhere, even coincidental moves by his children can end up looking suspicious, and will tangle him up in unnecessary scandal. But since he's a business "success" he will know better and put it in a blind trust. Heh. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I'm willing to bet $5 he'll be facing impeachment before the 2018 mid-terms. Much as I loathe Pence, I'll take him over the Orange Man any time. He's a known quantity. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

What if a blind trust manages to make more money than the Orange Man did? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Sure, I think a chimpanzee would be very competitive. Save big on a salary. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | TRUMP jet should be sold. He won't be able to fly it for a few years, and it is too big of a target for him to let his children fly it. He would get a good price for it now, and he can buy another one later. |
