It would be good for a laugh if not for the tragedy of the rubes believing the guy who is preparing to cash in on the presidency, again, is going to clean up DC.

Or that he made things better for them the first time he was in office. They forget all of the deaths from covid and the crashed economy, and believe Trump's lies about his "accomplishments".

Anyone who believes anything Donald Trump says without good and valid verification, is, by definition, a gullible fool and deserves everything that is about to happen to them, but the rest of the world does not.

What Trump voters don't realize is the extent to which the billionaire owned right wing media has brainwashed them lo these past 40 years, since the Fairness Doctrine expired and Reagan refused to renew it. Demonizing Democrats and lying about socialist policies - all of which Republicans seem to support - Social Security, Medicare, and the largest standing military in world history.

 

[struth]

Didn't Raskin say he would see to it that Trump's election victory won't be certified?

HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaaaaaaaaaa

he did, he's a clear and present danger to the United States, and an insurrectionist.

He also wanted to abolish the filibuster. Maybe we should give him want he wants

No, folks remember the record covid deaths and 25.8 percent increase in their grocery bill by Xiden and Harris.

This is why they voted for Trump. A majority of Americans were better off when he was in office

Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago

The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.

Raskin is a idiot.

Trump Organization getting paid for services doesn't violate the emoluments clause.

hhahahha

Trump's ownership of any business with foreign ownership and business interests is a violation of the emoluments clause. Besides which Trump has much bigger problems than the emoluments clause.

Report: Trump may face a $100 million-plus tax bill if he loses IRS audit fight over Chicago tower

A report by The New York Times and ProPublica says former President Donald Trump may face an IRS bill in excess of $100 million.

apnews.com

The Trump Corporation renting out entire floors of hotels to foreign governments/interests (Saudi's and Trump Hotel Chicago - again), without the tenants ever occupying these rooms is outright bribery. Trump Hotel Washington did a thriving business with foreign governments and those seeking Trump's favour while he was in office, and even then, it lost money. Immediately after Trump left office revenues dropped like a stone.

Ok, so there is nothing wrong with foreign money....why are you making a big deal about it then?

Maybe you should read thru my posts again. I grow tired of explaining the obvious over and over.

The trump organization doesn’t have foreign ownership

And no, him having interest in a company that sells good and services doesn’t violate the clause

You are clueless, you don’t even know what enrollments are

Talk about voting against your own best interests.

Of course, the billionaire owned right wing media tells you it's all Biden's fault, and the fault of his policies, because they want those Republican tax cuts, and a continuation of the oligarchy they've been promoting for decades.

Like all of you crowing "Drill baby, drill", when your oil and gas production under Joe Biden is MUCH higher than it was under Donald Trump. Or blaming Biden for oil production cuts which Trump signed onto AFTER he lost the 2020 election.

Billions of dollars of wealth are transferred from the working and middle class to the wealthy every time Republicans crash the economy, and Trump is promising to be quick about it this time.

Economic crashes enriching the wealthy and destroying the working class have become a feature, not a bug of Republican administrations. Trump's cut and tariff plan should accelerate that outcome, given that Democrats didn't have the time for the economy to fully recover from Trump last economic collapse.

The trump organization doesn’t have foreign ownership

The Trump Corporation owns hotels in Turkey, Scotland, Saudi Arabia, and other foreign countries. Trump has personally received hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign governments and interests since leaving office - especially from the Saudis.

No, why would he do that??

Because all of his businesses are LOSING MONEY. I'd dump losing companies too.,

Trump team barred from agencies amid legal standoff​

Advisers to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reached out to the Health and Human Services Department multiple times after Donald Trump tapped him to lead the massive agency, hoping to jumpstart coordination before his takeover in late January. They were rebuffed.

Kennedy’s inability to communicate with the agency he may soon manage, confirmed by an administration official with knowledge of the episodes granted anonymity to describe internal deliberations, is just one consequence of the president-elect’s continued foot-dragging on signing the standard trio of ethics and transparency agreements with the federal government — something his team pledged to do shortly after the election.

1) 25.8 percent increase in my grocery bill isn’t in my own self interest

2) yes the trump organization owns property around the world. That’s not the same as having foreign ownership. I

Wait i thiught he was getting rich off his office??

President-elect Donald J. Trump has not yet submitted a legally required ethics pledge stating that he will avoid conflicts of interest and other ethical concerns while in office, raising concerns that his refusal to do so will hamper the smooth transition to power.

The fact that trump's transition team does not have access to info about current government activities because he won't sign the ethics pledge means his admin will be hampered on Jan. 20 when it takes over. Making his refusal an immediate national security issue.

The Trump transition’s unprecedented delay in signing the agreements has so far prevented the incoming administration from having any formal contact with federal agencies, including sending in groups of policy advisers known as “landing teams.” It also means they can’t access cybersecurity support or secure email servers for transition-related work, or request FBI background checks for their nominees.

Both the Trump transition and the White House confirmed to POLITICO that negotiations on the agreements are still underway. But until the standoff is resolved, Trump’s Cabinet nominees will gain no more insight than the general public into the workings of the departments they’re supposed to run.

I'm sorry to have to doubt your intelligence but these questions reflect an inability to understand simple concepts. trump's real estate holdings can be losing value because the public wants to distance itself from doing business with a criminal while at the same he can be benefitting financially from violations of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Glad you admit trump isn’t using his office to get rich

And no, him having interest in a company that sells good and services doesn’t violate the clause

If he profits by payments to his company for goods and services made by foreign governments he is in violation of the Emoluments Clause.
