POLITICAL HIT JOB from leftists at CNBC, but it is a FACINATING look at the wonderful world of Trump and his organization. I have no doubt that his work ethic and business acumen will make America GRRRRRREAT again!

Enjoy!

I guess they forget that George Washington was a Yuge real estate investor.

Again, the Democrat media does not mention that presidents and vice-presidents are immune from the conflict of interest clause that pertains to other office holders. He wouldn’t have to get rid of anything, having done much more than required already. You will never hear this from the crooked Democrat media.

These people may regret voicing unfounded opinions and statements. If I were President Trump and on my payroll, they would be fired immediately.

Unless Trump signs an Executive Order that blatantly and unfairly favors one of his own interests over the rest of the economy, I don't have a problem with it.
How else can we ever have successful people in government?

"potential conflicts"

I believe that Trump's holdings are mostly in hotels, golf courses, and office buildings. I really don't see how these sorts of businesses would be ripe for conflicts of interest as far as government policy is concerned, except in the most secondary manner.

The only thing that comes to mind is his proposal to cut corporate tax rates, but that is an across-the-board cut, not one targeting specific industries. But congressmen pass laws that affect their own interests all the time.

CNBC can go sit in the corner with CNN. Nip it in the bud. Any news organization that plays games should have their press pass yanked immediately.

Quite a difference from the Clintons who didn’t even own a home of their own most of their lives.

If he’s an honest man, no problem. If he’s not and starts cheating like Hillary obviously did, he should join her in prison.

And I guess every congressman is required to sell their business, home, ect when taking office.

I mean .. if they keep their business ... anything they pass could be seen as helping that business! anything they pass could be seen as trying to increase the value of their home!

lol

laughable.

If there is a problem, it is because Trump is the first major businessman to become president in a hundred years, if not longer. So these issues simply haven’t come up before. But the spin is that it’s a problem because Trump is somehow involved in shady business deals and his goal is to enrich himself via the presidency.

There is not, there cannot be, any such thing as a truly blind trust. Donald J. Trump will make decisions while in office which may, in some measure, be tempered with considerations out there of how it affects his bottom line. Maybe not a lot, and negligible in terms of overall percentage of all his holdings, but it will bring down a firestorm of criticism from the so very righteous liberal minds who think that no one should be favored in their dealings with government, if they are already independently wealthy.

If you come to town POOR, that is different.

However, these same quick minds see no conflict whatsoever of having private and certain public corporations and entities “contribute” to THEIR bottom lines, in exchange for current and future “expenses”, while they are IN office. Almost all the former members of both the House and Senate retire with very healthy portfolios, after they rode into town with “practically nothing”.

And in one of the most notorious instances of all, before the Clinton Global Initiative came to their rescue, Slick and Herself were supposed to be “penniless” and “in debt” when they left the White House in 2001.

Donald J. Trump is in no way beholden to the “big money interests”. He IS the “big money”.

The Clintons and Obamas started their political careers with very little wealth, and came out at the end with millions, yet the media show no interest in that state of affairs. Trump is already rich and in his seventies, and has no motive to use government to further his financial interests. If anything, it’s costing him.

Where were the stories from them on Hillary and Bill’s millions via their two foundations?

What used to be considered regular news outlets are now not at all credible.

I think we already had a pretty good idea about Trump’s wealth when we elected him. We decided it wasn’t worth worrying about. If Hillary had been elected her tangled web would have benefited her at the expense of national security. But, we were supposed to just trust her that her accumulation of wealth through influence peddling was in our best interests.

Improving the economy, bringing jobs back to the US, that could be a conflict of interest because friends, relatives, and people that he knows might benefit. We could all benefit! That’s the worst conflict ever.
