Trump Going Forward Part 2. Day By Day

[Iceweasel]

Horseshit! Donations to the Clinton foundation were not enriching her. Even if what she was doing was somehow improper, that does not change the situation with Trump. This happens all the time. You guys can't defend the Blathering Orange Twitter Troll so you have to make it about Clinton or Obama. That is nothing more than a cheep red herring type of logical fallacy that does not help your so called argument one bit.

Except you don't know that. It quite likely that's the reason she set up a personal server and email to begin with. To keep out prying eyes.

Day 3 : Reproductive Rights under attack......

Trump reverses abortion policy for aid to NGOs - CNNPolitics.com
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump signed an executive action on Monday reinstating the so-called Mexico City Policy, which bars international non-governmental organizations that perform or promote abortions from receiving US government funding.

"The President, it's no secret, has made it very clear that he's a pro-life president," White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters at his first daily briefing. "He wants to stand up for all Americans, including the unborn, and I think the reinstatement of this policy is not just something that echoes that value, but respects taxpayer funding as well."

Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal withdrawal Trump's first executive order, sources say - CNNPolitics.com

President Donald Trump on Monday will unravel the behemoth trade deal he inherited from his predecessor, as two sources familiar with the matter told CNN he plans to sign an executive order to withdraw from the negotiating process of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
That executive order will send signals to Democrats and leaders in foreign capitals around the world that Trump's rhetoric on trade during the campaign is turning into action. Trump vowed during the campaign to withdraw the US from the Pacific trade deal, commonly known as TPP, which he argued was harmful to American workers and manufacturing.

Constitutional Scholars To Sue Donald Trump Over D.C. Hotel And Other Businesses | The Huffington Post

A group including former White House ethics attorneys will file a lawsuit on Monday accusing President Donald Trump of allowing his businesses to accept payments from foreign governments, in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Deepak Gupta, a Supreme Court litigator working on the case, said the lawsuit would allege that the Constitution’s emoluments clause forbids payments to Trump’s businesses. It will seek a court order forbidding Trump from accepting such payments, he said.

This lawsuit is designed only to harass. Paying rent is not a gift.

Why were we ever paying for abortions in foreign countries ?

Day 3 The scandals:

US investigating Flynn calls with Russian diplomat - CNNPolitics.com
US investigators are scrutinizing late December calls between Mike Flynn, President Donald Trump's national security adviser, and Russia's ambassador to the US as part of a broader counterintelligence investigation of Russian activities in the US, law enforcement and intelligence officials told CNN.
The calls were captured by routine US eavesdropping targeting the Russian diplomats, according to the intelligence and law enforcement officials. But the officials said some of the content of the conversation raised enough potential concerns that investigators are still looking into the discussions, amid a broader concern about Russian intelligence-gathering activities in the United States.

We pay for a lot of things in foreign countries. Including things that promote public health.

What I thought was interesting was the total change in tone Spicer showed between Saturday and today. Conway must have taken him to the woodshed for Saturday's performance, because of the radical change in how he approached the press.

I also noticed she was sitting close to the podium today when Spicer gave his "kinder, gentler" briefing today.

He won't be accepting payments. Those are just some confused libs trying to find a reason to get out of bed in the mornings.

He already indicated all such payments will go to the US Treasury. Just another butthurt Libturd attempt to get attention.

I think he said any profits would go to the US treasury.

 

[bripat9643]

The Constitution expressly forbids the president from receiving money from foreign governments. The amount is not specified, just that the president can't accept money from foreign governments. If he owns the motel that foreign diplomats stay at, he is receiving money from foreign governments, regardless of what he does with it afterwards.

I thought you conservatives were all about the president following the Constitution. How come you don't think Trump has to follow it?

Try to keep up. President Trump has pledged to donate any money his hotel earns from foreign governments to the US Treasury.

Doesn't matter what he pledges to do with the money after he receives it. It's the receiving of money from a foreign government in the first place that the Constitution forbids. Doesn't matter if you keep it, burn it, or donate it afterwards, it's the initial receipt of the money that is the problem.

So what about the money Hillary's slush fund received from foreign governments? Isn't that an emolument? Why aren't you douche bags whining about that?

Doesn't matter what he does with the money after he gets it, the issue is that he would get it in the first place. The issue isn't the money, the issue is a payment that is made to a business that the president owns that takes money from foreign governments. Even if he donates it to the Treasury, the fact that he gets it at all is the issue.

And, the amount paid doesn't matter either. If it's just one dollar or ten thousand, it's still money being paid to the president by a foreign government. That is what the whole conflict of interest issue is about.

Hillary isn't the president. Trump is. That clause only applies to a sitting president. Do try to keep up.

Not he, the business that he doesn't run now. This isn't rocket science. If it goes to the Treasury there goes the lining his own pockets argument and it isn't even needed. Show us where a president cannot own a business.

And where did you get your law degree and training in ethics? Shit you must not even read very well or you would know that he has not divested himself of his business interests:

Alex Brandon/AP


The recently opened Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., is one of many properties that would lose the Trump name if the president-elect followed the advice of the Office of Government Ethics and divested his business holdings.

Alex Brandon/AP
At a Wednesday press conference, President-elect Donald Trump and his lawyer described the steps the real estate mogul would take to separate from his business empire while in office. It wasn't nearly enough, according to Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub.

"The president is now entering a world of public service," Shaub said in a speech at the Brookings Institution. "He's going to be asking his own appointees to make sacrifices. He's going to be asking our men and women in uniform to risk their lives in conflicts around the world. So no, I don't think divestiture is too high a price to pay to be the president of the United States of America." U.S. Ethics Official: Trump's Divestiture Is Hard, Pricey And Essential

"Not he, the business that he doesn't run now. This isn't rocket science. If it goes to the Treasury there goes the lining his own pockets argument and it isn't even needed. Show us where a president cannot own a business."

WOW look!! The Weasel who never ever provides documentation to back up his assertions is telling me that I have to back mine up!! The Weasel who just makes shit up-who makes legal pronouncement that fly in the face of what is being said by people who actually know the law!! Here is more for you to chew on:

President-elect Donald Trump has a plan for the hotel profits from foreign government payments that everyone is worried about, but it may cause more trouble, not less. The emoluments clause of the Constitution says that "No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State." Trump's hotel chain sometimes hosts foreign dignitaries, who spend money to stay there. The question is, does that money buy them influence with the new administration? Trump Going Forward Part 2. Day By Day

Do you see anything there that provides an exception if he donates the money?? It continues

At a press conference today, tax attorney Sheri Dillon explained that while the emoluments clause doesn't apply to selling hotel rooms (others disagree), Trump would donate all the money he's made from foreign governments to the U.S. Treasury Department. In essence, as MSNBC legal correspondent Ari Melber points out, Trump would be taking foreign money, potentially bribes, and using them for gain, thereby adding to the conflicts and not decreasing them.

Trump’s ethics lawyer, Sheri Dillon, stressed during the press conference that Trump’s hotels’ receiving these payments did not violate the Emoluments Clause. But he was making the move to help taxpayers in the United States and to calm concerns about profits from foreign governments and to avoid any possible conflicts of interest.

Not everyone’s satisfied with the decision. Critics are saying that it’s still not enough to guarantee a lack of foreign influence, because his use of the word “profits” indicates that revenue will likely still be used for overhead and salaries first. Trump Donating Foreign Profits to U.S. Treasury: Everything You Need to Know

lol Right, the same people who saw nothing wrong with Clinton selling influence at the State Department pretend to be worried about Trump being influenced by money he will donate to the Treasury.

Horseshit! Donations to the Clinton foundation were not enriching her.

You have to be incredibly stupid or a total douche to say something like that. The CGI paid for Chelsea's wedding. It also pays for Bill and Hillary to jet around the world in oriental luxury. It also provides all their friends and allies with cushy jobs where they have to do very little to earn their salaries. Huma Abadeen was supposedly holding down a full time job at the State Dept and receiving a six figure salary from CGI. The CGI paid for the fireworks that Hillary was going to fire off when she won the election. That's just scratching the surface. Who knows what else it paid for.

Even if what she was doing was somehow improper, that does not change the situation with Trump. This happens all the time. You guys can't defend the Blathering Orange Twitter Troll so you have to make it about Clinton or Obama. That is nothing more than a cheep red herring type of logical fallacy that does not help your so called argument one bit.

Typical leftwing hypocrisy: "Rules for thee but not for me."

Left wingers are all douche bags. You prove it every day.
