So Trump is the swamp? Is that your point here?
No my point s liberals never care about this kind of stuff if it's not Trump.
I personally do not believe the lies, but I do know for a fact that all the democrats I mentioned went to Washington DC with little or no money and are all now multi-millionaires off of less that $300k salaries per year.
Trump doesn't nee to steal money from the taxpayers, which is why he's the perfect president for the people of this country and the best one to hold office. Even when you factor in his narcissistic behavior.
The one thing he is not, is a typical Washington politician, and they hate him for it.

They have ongoing business interests that don’t stop because Trump is President.
Better than getting straight up paid for influence or profiting from insider trading.

I just find the crawfishing / hypocrisy of this board Intersting.
Not hypocrisy. Hypocrisy would be running as a relatively low net worth democrat under the guise of hating the rich, then proceeding to enrich yourself with insider trading and/or fraud.
If any of Trump's dealings are illegal, I have a big problem with it. But seeing as how he was already a billionaire with endless resources at his disposal, I have a feeling he knows what he's doing.

If these business ventures are based in provable political quid pro quo then Trump and his sons and their associates should be heavily investigated and if need be prosecuted.

The boys got involved in a drone company, too. It's disappointing to see them feast off of the MIC. Not sure how I feel about the crypto stuff.
Kush is a whole other ball of wax.

What if they use information acquired while working in government to enrich themselves. Information not availbable to the public.
Is that OK? Can we call that "shady"? Can we say that shouldn't be common practice?

I am all for anyone committing fraud, regardless of their politics, to be held accountable.
Insider trading, pay for play, you name it....get it out of politics.
But it won't happen.
Instead, we get people like the OP that take a side based on politics, which is exactly what they want to happen.
It is dumb.

I'm way more concerned with the Pelosis of the that how somehow amassed 9 figure net worths on gov salaries.
Dude, Trump tripled his net worth in one year.
The first year of his second term.
And he did the majority of that by first heavily deregulating bitcoins and then heavily investing in them.
For the record, that's a technology that Trump has criticized sharply for years as being the haven of criminal money. That 180 degree change of mind was a coincidence, I'm sure.
Anyway, that and enterprises like the one in the OP obviously do not pass the Emoluments Clause standards. The deal he tried to get the DOJ to cut, exempting himself and his family from any IRS accountability (and therefore, any IRS laws), is something that I don't even think Joe Biden would have had the balls to try, and up until Trump he was probably the most corrupt POTUS we've ever had.
Trump is piling on the graft right in front of your eyes, but y'all are such a cult you won't admit it.
Don't reply if you don't want to, but if you choose to, please answer this question in your reply: Being honest, what would your response have been if Joe Biden had unilaterally deregulated bitcoins and then made a billion and a half dollars trading them inside of a year? Or had the DOJ pressure the IRS to exempt him and Jill and Hunter from any IRS accountability?
What would you have said about that?

I can understand that perspective, and it's probably the most realistic perspective to take.
But what you've said is that effectively, there is no such thing as a true "outsider." They all are part of the "establishment," at that point.
Animal Farm was right, in other words.
I think that's also the most realistic viewpoint.
Where it starts to irritate me is when people continue to insist that someone like Trump is "sticking it to the Deep State," when he very clearly has BECOME the Deep State.
That doesn't mean other establishment types aren't against him. They are.
But the assumed explanation for that that they are against him because he wants to reform the system doesn't fit the facts. I think they are against him simply because he doesn't play well with others, and is out for only his own benefit rather than being an establishment team player.
That explaination fits the facts much better to me.

I don't buy that at all.
Case in point, dismantling USAID goes against your position that he "has BECOME the Deep State."
They don't like him because he disrupts their order.
