The primary standard for the federal government and federal officials isn't some murky, relative/situation ethics, but the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended.
The Constitution is ALWAYS the issue when it comes to the feds. I'm not sure what if anything in the Constitution addresses this other than Art II, Sec 4 regarding bribery or other high crimes or misdemeanors. Trump is using good instincts and avoidance of evil appearances and temptations by giving over the reins of his company.
Of course if Art II, Sec 4 were actually followed, most of the D.C. swamp would be drained.
Switching gears but not relevancy, the Left thinks the Constitution doesn't apply to them. Some on the Right still take the Constitution seriously. Anyone who loves liberty should. The Constitution is the only legal bulwark standing between our freedom and absolute tyranny. It is, therefore, imminently imperative that the Constitution be applied to cut the 70% to 80% unconstitutional portion of the $4 trillion federal government and stuff it back into its constitutional cage where it belongs.
Totally agree, well said.
THIS!
I agree. I think Trump will head things in that direction. To an extent, the amount he does eliminate will be at least one test he will be measured by.
Eliminating Obamacare will be a step in the right direction. The more of it that returns to work in a free enterprise environment will eliminate government control and involvement. (cost)
I hope he can find a way to get almost all of it off the government’s back.
Places like California are in for a real surprise Tossing everyone on Medi-Cal, California’s Medicare program was an ill advised idea. Now they’re going to be in trouble.
Oops.
