Oh they’ve got him now! Financial managers for his blind trust made trades! Impeach! 25th amendment! Breeeee!

(Sarcasm of course)

And what the hell has happened to the WSJ? Might as well merge with the NY Times at this rate.

Globalist Rupert Murdoch purchasing the WSJ is what happened.

It was all downhill from that point.

Great question. I remember reading the WSJ back in the day. They’d have three interesting and nonpolitical stories on the front page. One in the left column, one in the right column, and one in the middle.

I particularly enjoyed the middle column stories. They were usually quirky - fun and different.

Now as you mentioned, I might as well be reading the New York Times.

No thanks.

Every single leftoid article on his and his family finances always leave out these are blind trusts or similar. Every one.

Its not a blind trust. Its a "trust overseen by Donald Trump Jr".

A presidential blind trust is a financial arrangement where an independent trustee manages a president's personal assets so the president cannot see or control their day-to-day investments.

Most presidents since Lyndon Johnson or Ronald Reagan placed their liquid assets into blind trusts.

President Donald Trump did not use an independent blind trust. His business holdings are managed by his adult sons and business associates.

He has to report the sales. I think the “news” is that Presidents before him were not active traders, even in their blind trusts.

So…he reports the sales and the media reports the report.

The biggest problem is that the average person has no idea how any of this works and they think its corruption.

The libs have taken it over, it seems. 30 years ago, or so, it was a voice of reason. I used to love their editorial page.

There is no blind trust. Never has been.
