The left must be running out of stuff to attack Trump on if they are going after his very legit and public business dealings.

Because Forbes is literally owned by Chinese owners.

This is BS.

I think Steve Forbes has some ‘splainin’ to do.

This is the third outrageous article form that trashy magazine I have read...it’s time for Steve to tell us what is going on.

Dan Alexander, volunteer sports writer for The Brown Daily Herald, from Powell, Ohio and went to Olentangy Liberty High.

He wrote a fictional book called White House, Inc. (available for free, Best Sellers Rank: #29,480 in Kindle Store on Amazon) about how Trump is making money from being President, but at the same time writes BS stories about Trump being in debt for hundreds of millions.

He's a very confused boy.

“P resident Donald Trump...)

This must have been written by Hidin’ Bidin before he
grabbed his Trumpy Bear and snuggled in for his nap for
the day.

Why, one might ask. “P resident” is most definitely a case for plagiarism. We at FR were using this when Hussein was in office. I used the term and spelling countless times. Others did so as well IIRC.

If this is in Forbes and Steve has a stake in Forbes, possibly he is as loony as Bloomberg (perhaps not quite - Steve did not spend millions to run against DJT; he just published an article).

Forbes is lame, and so i their attempt to equate a legal business transaction and bribery and money-laundering committed by Dirty Joe Biden and his corrupt family.

He makes money from a thing he actually provided to the Chinese. It’s called rent. The Biden Crime Syndicate makes money from influence peddling, which is a subjective idea and not an actual product. Big difference.

Exactly.
Lease money is straight forward and nothing illegal.
Biden’s China dealings were far from legal. He didn’t even want his name used.
Commmie News Network is getting desperate
LOL!

I love it when the mass media kicks up dust to try to cover up Biden corruption.

It smells like...Victory!

Pres. Obamie the Commie asked American businesses to do business with Red China. I remember a quote from about 2013 to that effect.

If we can find it, then we can legitimately say that the Trump business organization was just taking the President’s advise and request.

Also, how do we NOT know whether Trump let the FBI wiretap the rooms the Red Chinese were staying it? Wouldn’t that be a hoot if Trump was working “for” the FBI and then The Deep State within it turned on him?

Just thinking out loud and outside the box.

Firstly, I don’t think POTUS is running the company. Secondly, since when can a business no longer make money? Thirdly, what Joe,Jim and Hunter did was make money selling out the USA.

The reporter and possibly some upper level officials don’t like Trump and wanted to spring an “October Surprise” on him and his comments.

I’m an old reporter/journalist and now private writer. Got my first official press card for DC and then VN in 1970. I can smell a smear job a mile away and this one smells like a garbage dump on fire.

PS: I don’t think the Red Chinese “businessmen” (aka PLA intelligence officers) would stay at a local Motel 6 while doing business and visits to DC.

They could have stayed at a Bates Motel years ago but they’ve gone out of business so why not stay at the best. After all, it’s being paid for with American businesses money.

Selling office space, selling government influence—all the same thing.

I’m going to be sick.

Forbes has been left since at least the 80s...
