If you don't understand the logistical and practical differences between transferring stocks to bonds and liquidating a corporation.....

Anybody who believed Trump could fully divest from his business interests before taking office is a fool. The man is a walking conflict of interest. He spent his entire life building monuments to himself and plastering his name all over them in giant gold letters, and we're supposed to believe that he would sell everything and enter the White House with a blank slate. Uh-huh.

Which will be Trump change if we get the tax/spending bills that Trump wants, which is the really scary thing.

You know what Trump reminds me of ? He reminds me of some of those Preachers who live a lavish lifestyle, brag about their jets and fancy clothes and cars, and yet, their parishioners are the ones footing the bill. And the parishioners usually cheer loudly when the Preacher says "God wants us to have fine things and live a good life !"

Trump supporters are just like those parishioners. They are starving, and yet hold Trump up in esteem because he is "rich". Just like those misguided parishioners, Trump supporters somehow think some of his wealth will rub off on them. Yeah, lotsa luck with that one !

This is where the term sheeple came from.

Trump made his money from his businesses.

To be accurate the comparison should be for the Clintons and Obamas who got rich in office.

Trump family trips cost taxpayers $11.3m in one month

Donald Trump’s family’s trips have cost taxpayers nearly as much in a month as Barack Obama’s cost in an entire year.

The US President’s three visits to his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida since his presidential inauguration, combined with his sons’ business trips, reportedly cost $11.3m (£9.1m).

Conservative watchdog Judicial Watch estimated Mr Obama’s travel expenses totalled an average $12.1m in each of his eight years in the White House.

How much of our tax dollars did Obama give to Iran? Bet that didn't bother you.

Deflection is all the TRumpers can do regarding many issues. If you can;t refute with facts-deflect. Or blame Obama
