Trump explained as he was coming down the escalator at Trump Tower in Manhattan ~ he never reconciled what he stated then.

Links quoted back in 2016 right here.

The 117th Congress, has from Jan 4-Jan 19, to bring charges of Violation of Emuluments Clause, and Impeachment and Trial of mr djt. #Diaperdon, will have 2 weeks of pure political terror. After Biden's Oath of Office, mr djt will forget the political rights and will look for battles on civil, tax, and financial fronts. China may buy Deutsche Bank's loans to, mr djt & assoc/companies, outbidding Putin and Russia.

January 2021, will be an interesting month.

Is Trump the only DC politician to do what you claim?

Have there been others?

Is it a matter of how much they steal? If yes, what is your limit?

Did you attack politicians from both sides for doing it, or just 1 side?

Do you only attack pols you don't like?
One of the traits of a good leader is to lead by example.

Don't you realize how stupid that sounds? No one WANTS to blame anyone for anything!

That's like saying "Blah blah who will you blame when John Wilkes Booth is gone..." or

"Blah blah who will you blame when Charles Ponzi is gone..." or

"Blah blah who will you blame when Richard Nixon is gone..."

We don't want it! Don't you get that? We DON'T WANT ANY OF IT. We just want those criminals gone, gone for good. We want to be free of this interminable racket.

Trump gets blame for what Trump does. We don't want to blame him for anything, we don't want him to do anything blameworthy. We don't want it. We don't want those damned criminals around.

I read an interesting article in the Economist about this. In summary, Trump doesn’t own the property, he leases the property from the US Federal Govt and is paying millions of $ per year for the lease which, even Trump has stated he likely agreed to pay too much for. The Trump org also borrowed millions to renovate it. The loan and lease is too much for Trump so he wants to sell it. He’s gotten offers, but he’d still lose millions. Another sticking point is that he requires whomever buys him out keep the Trump name, which no one wants.

I smell yet another Trump bankruptcy.

I don't know if it's scarier that you claimed this bunch of mistruths, or that you fervently believe them all. Is this what you've read, or you're just altering the narrative fed to you by the media to even better fit your point?

I've bolded the easiest mistruth.

Trump has also been bribed by foreign countries and large corporation who book suites in his hotels.

Saudi Arabia spent so much money in New York they single-handedly saved that property from the collapse of bankruptcy, and Trump knows it! Saudi Arabia has Trump in their back pocket, which is why, among other things, Trump said nothing in response to the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

That's how compromised Trump is, he literally traded Khashoggi's hacked up and sink disposaled body for room rents in New York.

The needs of Trump's hotel and resort businesses drove our foreign policy for the last four years. That is the real danger of emoluments: strategic spending (or gifting) on the president's property influences his judgment, they own him. Trump is one guy who has a price, he really can be bought.

Now that he's not going to be president any longer, and he is so disliked around the world and also by ordinary sane Americans, he is going to have trouble filling rooms.

The one bank that would deal with him is calling in their loans, and countries like Scotland are seriously considering seizing assets funded by money laundering.

Then also separately there is going to be a barrage of lawsuits and criminal probes. He will be deposed in the Jean Carroll rape case (just one of fifteen or more possible sexual assault allegations).

Apparently, he is not allowed to stay permanently at Mar-A-Lago either It's a HOTEL, and permanent residents are not allowed! He needs to find a new permanent address.

Trump is in a world of hurt right now, which is why he is acting so crazy. Trump would literally do anything, including treason, to keep the presidency right now.
Mar-a-Lago was a private residence. He reached an agreement with the City, in exchange for converting it to a private "country club" with a limited number of suites, that no member could stay there more than 7 days in a row, more than 3 weeks a year. Just because it is currently listed as his address, until sometime around Jan 21st, doesn't mean he doesn't own or is purchasing or going to rent any other property in FL.

And btw, I'm no attorney, but the agreement says "No member shall stay..." yet the same document identifies him as Owner, and is silent on the Owner living there.

The NYT/WaPo/HuffPo/Axios/BusinessInsider/MotherJones/Daily Beast haven't bothered to get any comment on that aspect.

What it means is he can not stay there as his permanent residence without violating the agreement. It can not be his home.

But what's a little violation like that to a lifelong con artist and criminal like Trump? He will probably violate and get sued by the city for it.
