Trump was ON FIRE tonight in Arizona

[Moveon]

So, I understand that......AND I agree. It is a little different with a businessman who actually RUNS businesses.

Still, From documentation that I saw and stories I read.........on CNN and Money and a couple other sites, Donald Trump divested himself from nearly 400 businesses before taking office......that is GOOD enough for me.

It is not good enough for most of the EXTREMISTS out there hate the man. And yes, I say extremists. I'm concerned that we have almost guaranteed that the **** storm we call politics is never going to have any "rules".

Hell, they are STILL going after Trump.

I suspect, if we went through all the business dealings of Kennedy, Bush, Truman, Eisenhower........all of the great presidents, we would see very serious flaws.

Here is something I found from a 2017 CNN article.


President Trump says he has resigned from positions in hundreds of business entities, according to a document provided to CNN by the Trump Organization.

The text of the 19-page letter reads: "I, Donald J. Trump, hereby resign from each and every office and position I hold" in more than 400 entities listed on the following pages.

The letter is signed by Trump and dated January 19, the day before he was sworn in.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters Monday that Trump's two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, are "fully in charge of the company."

At a press conference January 11, Trump pledged to transfer his business holdings to a trust run by the sons. He refused to sell his ownership stake, a step that many ethics lawyers say is critical to avoid conflicts of interest.

Trump lies and you can't believe anything he says. Even if he lied to CNN and they reported it as what Trump said that doesn't whitewash it. It's still a **** lie.

Exactly right. Instead of divesting himself or putting his assets in a blind trust, he hands it over to his sons. Good lawd that is not the same thing. C'mon, as if they are going to keep him in a dark? You're not that naive, Geo.

Geo knows what Trump did and he is ok with it as long as Trump helps him pay lower taxes.

Man, you really have a hard time carrying on a civil discussion.

WTF are you talking about. You just slammed Geo and then you talk about civil discussions. SMH.

One of us maligned the man's character and one didn't. Guess who is who.

If that is not busting someone's ball then nothing is.

And it depends on who I'm talking to or about.

If you can't tell the difference between "your ethics take a back seat to your wallet" and that statement of mine, it explains a lot about your frequent spats on this board.

So in other words the spats tell a lot about the people that I spat with.

When every over person in politics who can make decisions about our country puts their assets in a blind trust, I think I'd be ok with that.

Yea, and Hillary didn't make millions off of Whitewater, right?



I'm fine with what Trump did........

Later,

Geo

Hill and Bill lost somewhere between $30K and $70K on Whitewater. Not to say that wasn't shady as heck, because they were supposed to be equal partners with the McDougals, who lost a fortune, but not really the same issue.
