A Trump Family Push for Profit on Three Continents Breaks Historical Norms​

A contest of sorts has played out across Europe, the United States and the Middle East in recent days as President Trump’s two older sons have pursued a blitz of family moneymaking ventures capitalizing on their father’s name and power, each seemingly trying to outdo the other.

It is a rush to cash in that involves billions of dollars with few precedents in American history.

A luxury hotel in Dubai. A second high-end residential tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Two cryptocurrency ventures based in the United States. A new golf course and villa complex in Qatar. And a new private club in Washington. In many cases these new deals promoted over the last week will personally benefit not only Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., but also President Trump himself.

Donald Jr. and Eric Trump Pursue New Deals That Would Enrich President Trump

The president’s older sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, spent the past two weeks traveling the world and announcing deals, many of which will financially benefit their father.

The boys are chips off the old block. Who would have guessed? Ivanka, she's no slouch either.

Ivanka Trump Wins China Trademarks, Then Her Father Vows to Save ZTE​

BEIJING — China this month awarded Ivanka Trump seven new trademarks across a broad collection of businesses, including books, housewares and cushions.

At around the same time, President Trump vowed to find a way to prevent a major Chinese telecommunications company from going bust, even though the company has a history of violating American limits on doing business with countries like Iran and North Korea.

The timing is likely a coincidence, experts say, but the moves have renewed questions from critics about President Trump’s potential conflict of interest.

The crypto pump-and-dump scams they've been running, right out in the open, are an example of how absolutely all standards for this person have been removed.

He has fleeced his flock over and over and over. And NOTHING worse than this. And instead of being insulted and angered, they love it. The Stockholm Syndrome.

It's as though there is a familial connection between trump and his flock. Blood relatives have been known to forgive atrocious things members of the family have done. And clearly Don has done atrocious things. Everything from rape, to stealing money meant for charity, to violating his oath of office in one of the worst possible ways. And just recently stating he does not feel compelled to honor the Constitution.

Considering that trump is among the most egregious pieces of shit roaming the earth, currently engaged in tearing the country apart at the seams, I'll never understand what accounts for the blind devotion of The Following.

Probably not. The trump's have a way of escaping responsibility for their crimes.

I understand this whole thing more than I did in 2016, but I still can't get my head around this intense personal thing they have for him. It's familial, it's quasi-religious.

Having these feelings for someone they've never met is inexplicable as it is. But this guy? Of all people on the planet? That whole thing still evades me. This is about far more than politics for them, it's a whole lifestyle.

Trading cards are a joke. It's a small time grift to fleece the rubes. But he's making billions in crypto deals like the one just announced. When trump is out of power reforms are necessary to never let this kind of corruption to be allowed again.

The White House has said there are no ethics issues (gaslighting) because Mr. Trump’s sons run the businesses. “The president’s assets are in a trust managed by his children,” Anna Kelly, a White House spokeswoman, said. “There are no conflicts of interest.”

But Mr. Trump’s financial disclosure report, which he is legally required to file, shows that he still personally benefits financially from most of these ventures.

Donald Jr and Eric are real estate tycoons, its the way they make a living. Do libs expect them to be staying in the WH basement playing video games instead of earning their own livelihoods?

Trump's assets are in a blind trust run by his boys.

How is this a problem at all?

Do you really believe daddy isn't involved in the decision making the boys are making? Blind trusts are typically related to passive investments. What other prez has had the broad base of biz interests while prez Don has, creating enormous conflicts?

Why do you reflexively excuse him for everything?

President Trump has enough on his plate already as our President. Thinking that he hasn't delegated these interests for his boys to take care of is ridiculous.

Well my three kids are each getting an american made Trump doll for Christmas instead of 50 dolls from commie China. They'll cost a little more so I probably won't be able to swing the $500K a year membership fee at the new DC club, but at least the Donald will know I still heart him.
