No Blind Trust

[Tecumsehsbones]

The loudmouth grifter says he won't put his money in a blind trust. Rather, his kids will run his businesses.

I imagine a very good way to get things done in Washington for the next four will be to do things that throw money to the loudmouth grifter and his spawn.

That would be different from any establishment politician how?

I don't think he will go the pay-to-play route but we will have to wait and see

How does one throw money to a poltician whose money is in a blind trust?

Clinton Foundation ring any bells? How about some $10,000/plate dinners? Problem the lobbyists are going to have now is Donald doesn't need their money.

I heard that he also intends to travel regularly between Trump Tower ( apparently he has some deep connection to his own bed) and the White House presenting humongous headaches for his security team and local law enforcement. How the hell do you protect Trump Tower?

Indeed they do, Loc. Though I wonder if even you in your darkest contemplation could have foreseen such consequences.

if by the dude is a Washington outsider, a non-politician, not playing by beltway 'rules'...um yeah. we all knew.

that's why the msm mocked him, said he'd never be elected, then ran to their safe rooms when he did.

You don't understand the difference between a campaign contribution and a gift (bribe). Too bad.

As to the Clinton Foundation, that had some pretty unique circumstances, but not a bad tu quoque.

Probably his way of getting a helipad on Loudmouth Grifter Tower (they are banned in NYC).

This will be interesting. Of course, he owes Deutsche Bank some $300 million, so it will be interesting how the fines that the Justice Dept wants to impose on them gets handled.

America's patron and his children have found a way to spin the meaning of blind trust to fit their own understanding of what it should be. Listened the the daughter explain their plan and I have to say, duh!! Should be interesting to see how foreign policy deals fit in this one.

There is actually no requirement for a President to put his business interests into a blind trust. The President is above those requirements that apply to others in government.
