The trouble with electing as POTUS a person who has holdings all over the world, with all kinds of people makes a blind trust impossible. He is in business with far too many other entities and people. And then there are his partner children. There is no way to suspend business while the major owner is POTUS.

IMO, that why it was stupid of him to think it could be done. And stupid of voters who thought a real estate developer would be a better POTUS.

A businessman could be POTUS. How about Romney or Huntsman? They could place their holdings in a blind trust. Jimmy Cater did. But when he left office he was almost bankrupt. So were his siblings. He hadn't talked to the trustee the entire time he served.

I don't think he thought it could be done, and I don't think he ever thought it would need to be addressed because I don't think he ever thought he would win.

MSNBC reporting they have not yet been able to independently verify the authenticity of the Letter of Intent or Trump’s signature, as reported by CNN. That did not however stop Giuliani from proclaiming “ Of course Trump signed it”, seemilngly obivious to contradicting his previous remarks.

Rudy is being paid well to deflect.

Giuliani told the Daily News that “I don’t think I said nobody signed it.”


correct....... he said "no one" signed it.

It's the fate of every single topic here created by parroting CNN, The NYT, or WaPo as if they have something meaningful to day about Trump.

It's all "Orange Man Bad" for these rags.

Speaking of parroting, how much longer are you going to parrot that "orange man bad" nonsense?

He denies it too. So impasse. You want to believe the lying CNN, and it's their accusation, then of course have at it.



But. Where's the tower? LAWL.

An impasse is when two (or more) separate parties disagree or are deadlocked. One person telling two completely contradictory versions of a story is not an impasse. There are far more derogatory labels that apply to that situation.

“I don’t think I said nobody signed it,” Giuliani told the Daily News, even though he told the broadcaster “no one signed” the letter. In a stunning contradiction, Giuliani told The News that “of course” Trump signed it.

You parrot Hannity, Limbaugh, Breitbart, Infowars, Zerohedge.

So what's your point?

And you NEVER make a comment until those sources have made their spin.
