They don't care about tax payer money, they just need to stick it to the man.

Seems lime a good bill, it would only apply during Trump's tenure in the the White House. I don't see why anyone would object to this especially given Trump's unprecedented conflicts of interest.


I think it should extend to all people who serve the government. Would be awesome. Paul Pelosi would shite his pants. Sidney Williams (Maxine Water's husband) would as well. I'm sure you could add 300 names to that short list.

No. The original topic you post...you don't provide your thoughts in the original post.

It's "traditional" to post your thoughts about your own topic, no?

I'm honestly interested in how people view these things when they only post one side or the other.

Garbage name for the bill if they actually wanted to be taken seriously or have a chance to pass.

Well that's awfully narrow.

If he really thought this was a problem, the bill would stop taxpayer funds from going to ANY business interests of any elected official.

Somehow, I suspect that would get about 2 votes in congress.

I like the idea behind the bill, as others have said, I don't see why it should be limited to just the Presidency. the name is fricking stupid.

Why limit it to the president? Let it apply to any elected officials and their families.

When HW was President, W ,JEB,Neal and Marlon all grown children as well as Doro the girl all had at lest 2-3 Secret Service persons with them. What's the big deal? Why would the Trump kids be treated any differnt?

This is such a transparent attack on Trump that it would be humorous if it wasn't so pathetic.

You are right and that's why Hillary should not be President. Terry McAuliffe has already screwed the system with his Greentech debacle just south of Memphis.

I'm glad we are on the same page.

Why just trump, why would he not add "any elected official's companies"?
