I agree.

It is because he is such a train wreck that the country is in some ways better off with him in place.

And Trump has made it abundantly clear that he is not and has no interest in being my president. He attacks me and others like me all the time.
You’re a bad hombre?

I am not a Trump supporter I have voted Libertarian for over 20 years. However it seems to me this all seems like a way to keep the political world free of people who come from the business world.

Trump is POTUS. What relevance is there in digging into every aspect of his businesses? The Russia investigation was suppose to be about did Trump collude with the Russians. Apparently he did not or Mueller would be bringing charges on that. Now its if Trump did anything wrong as a business owner over the past 40 years he has to be removed from office.

Nixon got nailed for criminal activity regarding Watergate. Clinton got nailed for lying under oath.

I am not a fan of Trump. He has done numerous things to rub me the wrong way but what has he done that rises to the level of Nixon or Clinton to be removed from office?

good job deflecting from the electorate.

I have a high paying job without the higher COL that comes with many cities, so I think I win the smart scale on this one...my goats didnt vote either.
in my 20+ year career in tech Ive had to reject moving to CA God knows how many times since thats where the company HQ was, so glad I never complied.

However, I am unaware of anybody who has taken a serious look at Trump’s business who doesn’t believe that there is a high likelihood of rampant criminality. In Azerbaijan, he did business with a likely money launderer for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. In the Republic of Georgia, he partnered with a group that was being investigated for a possible role in the largest known bank-fraud and money-laundering case in history. In Indonesia, his development partner is “knee-deep in dirty politics”; there are criminal investigations of his deals in Brazil; the F.B.I. is reportedly looking into his daughter Ivanka’s role in the Trump hotel in Vancouver, for which she worked with a Malaysian family that has admitted to financial fraud. Back home, Donald, Jr., and Ivanka were investigated for financial crimes associated with the Trump hotel in SoHo—an investigation that was halted suspiciously. His Taj Mahal casino received what was then the largest fine in history for money-laundering violations.

Listing all the financial misconduct can be overwhelming and tedious.
Understatement of the year. Explains why Mueller is still busy a year later.

Most. Corrupt. President. Ever.

Doesn't seem likely.

His job approval rating is up 5.7 points since December and continuing to rise.

I am very sure that Trump has the absolute best lawyers working on his behalf to settle any discrepancies that Mueller may have questions about in his investigation currently taking place.

Trump's own personal lawyer Michael Cohen is now involved, is leading the charge and will even be in court in NY Monday to get the ball rolling.
