Yes, a gift would be giving something to the Clinton Foundation without expectations. Which was not the case.

The FBI might let the Server issue go but the Foundation certainly deserves further investigation.

You "seem" to always get the events wrong. Tell us again who would win the election.
If your daddy owned the sub shop you work at, I'm sure he would let you sit in on meetings.

(You left a word out of your post)

Yeah, what WE WANT is a bunch of obsequious milquetoasts who are happy watching someone else make all the decisions. We sure as hell don't want anyone who is happy with a leadership position!

Trump's son-in-law and daughter are moving to Washington DC and he's apparently trying to find ways to have them work on the White House staff. If Democrats had ever done this, the GOP would explode. If President Obama had asked candidates to meet with Malia or even Michelle Obama, Fox News and Drudge Report would have updates every hour.

Since when did we elect Trump's kids and if they are supposedly going to manage his businesses, how can they also actively work in government roles? How is this not hugely corrupt?
When people voted the most corrupt candidate in US history into office. Trump voters don't care. They're totally ok with mass corruption and nepotism so long as it's a Republican doing it.

Please cite the exact law that Trump is breaking.

Every day is "take your kids to work day" when you're Donald Trump — at least it's starting to seem that way. The president-elect met Wednesday with top technology executives in Trump Tower in New York City, and it turned out that his adult children Ivanka, Donald Jr., and Eric Trump had come along for the ride:

Donald Trump brings his 'blind trust' to meeting with tech executives
I was under the impression that "Butt hurt" was a curable disease, but you are proving me wrong.
You really need to take an break and chill out, it's bad for your health and it's effecting everyone around you. Have you noticed your few friends are distancing themselves lately?
You have many more years of Trump greatness to get through, so find something else to take you mind off of America becoming great again..
Be happy, Donald loves you..

Chelsea showed up at Grace Hopper event. She was not even an engineer or computer scientist, not a CEO of a tech company. On what credential was she a guest speaker at that event. None. Except her mom was running for president.

suck it up: butter cup seems to apply here. Why does this bother you so much? In fact why does everything seem to bother some of you? It is over, get over it and take a deep breath. Maybe you need yoga or maybe a service dog to help you cope?

You may also want to consider your sources before jumping to conclusions.
