Yes we want them to stop living and go into poverty. LOL


Whatever happened to "draining the swamp".
LOL. I highly doubt the haters like you would stop accusing them of conflicts of interest even if they did that.

And FYI, "draining the swamp" is about cleaning out Washington DC bureaucrats.

So you want these people to run their businesses from the White House? Seriously?


Nothing to see here guys, just a guy whose businesses have a billion dollars in debt, and his boss Trump who's widely suspected to owe close to a billion to foreign investors but hid his tax returns so we couldn't see it. No chance of corruption here. Hillary would have been worse so it's all OK

You know, people have a right to pursue business and prosper, even if their family members go into political office. Of course, the Trump haters won't understand that.

BTW, crickets from the hypocrite libs when Obama is selling himself out to Wall Street or Hillary selling out the U.S. to Saudi Arabia.

What if you're a patriot and are concerned with a narcissist with many conflict of interests running our country

How does that fit into your narrow corridor of partisan bashing? Are you seriously saying that you don't mind that the USA could be for sale to the highest bidder to enrich our president and the 1%? Can you deny that this could be a grave issue?

I agree that Trump is in a position that shouldn't harm him financially. I also agree that when he decided to serve as OUR president he knew that certain high standards were also required. That was his choice. So far I give him a D-. I'd give him an A if I were part of the 1% though.

I find it incredibly sad that anyone would make one man more important then OUR country.

It was Eric Trump who once proclaimed they did not need US money as most of their financing comes from foreign institutions.

There are many reasons why Saudi Arabia and the UAE were excluded from the Trump immigration ban.

Trump entered office with unprecedented potential conflicts of interest. Instead of taking reasonable measures to avoid perceptions of conflicts of interest, Trump doubled down with Ivanka and Jared and preference for his own properties for weekend retreats as opposed to the WH, whereby the Federal Government is required to pay the current market rate to Trump Org for lodging and operational space.


Exactly! I'd like to see him thrown out and, him FORCED to reimburse the government for every trip to Mar-A-Lago and his son's gallivanting around the globe trying to further the Trump brand since day -1 of Daddy taking office!

The conflicts of interest seem to be expanding, never saw anything like this before.

There has never been a POTUS as CORRUPT as Trump in office before!

1. It was his family running the business that proclaimed this.

2. Such a thing exists as an investors visa. They weren't making up something new to "sell" to the Chinese.
