Possession is 9/10 of the law is the old joke. Qatar donated to Trump in which the Department of Defense ended up accepting as stated then retrofitted while the 2 new presidential planes are being manufactured. The intend destination of the plane was to be presidential foundation but Trump just can’t take possession of at the end of the day like Clinton did with the WH furniture. This is another sideshow of Trump’s. The crypto is fascinating though as it’s both through licensing agreements and his digital marketing company. Trump empire has been built off licensing the Trump name for the last 40 years, how is this any different? The legalities surely are not being tossed aside those who want his head on either of those things yet can’t seem to get creative enough to get charges against him. That’s says a lot considering they are coming at Trump every which way for 10 years and I’ve learned more about federal judges as well as state judges in those years than I did prior 50 years

I have no problems with it...I mean, c'mon man...we saw who the Bidens made a mockery of holding high offices. And all that insider trading going on, that's a slap in the face to average voters. So no, unless they're breaking a law, let 'em at it!

So you’re okay with it because others have done it?
2 wrongs make a right to you?

If no one takes the high road than there is no high ground for people ascribe to. It become a free for all.

You see who’s president?
Expecting him to take a high road will lead you to disappointment.

Ahh, I see.

Well, You responded to this:
quote:

No other president has enriched themselves as much as Trump has in this term, but because it’s Trump yall just ignore it. Yall are such lemmings. No free thoughts at all.

with this:

I’m sure you were concerned with figuring out who the big guy was and why was he worth 10%.

And now you are objecting to me posting this:
quote:

Normally that would be reasonable, but in this case you are objecting to me treating you similarly to how you treated him.

He was upset about Trump graft. You implicitly accused him of only caring about R graft.

But even if they expand their wealth 3 fold by using public office, insider knowledge and tax payer money to do so?


Why are you worried about this now? We all have been screaming this for 20 years now while people up in arms now laughed it off.

We got tired of screaming about it. We thought most of you folks were fine with it. It's awful surprising to finally see pushback:

According to federal filings examined by The New York Times, one or both of the Trump and Lutnick families have financial ties to at least 14 companies that are actively working with the federal government on critical mining deals, including the Kazakhstan project.

I would prefer they not use their government positions to enrich themselves or their families.
