Trump will not be involved in managing family business as president, company says

[berg80]

He CAN be an advisor to his sons for business reasons, but only to the extent he is an uninvolved advisor.

OXYMORON ALERT!

trump engaging in two deals business with foreign governments after pledging not to do so isn't news? What do you think about his overtly corrupt acts to enrich himself?

Trump is in the Oval Office. That's his job.
His kids have been running his company for over 8 years.

"Ordinary course" means any deals currently in place can be managed. Those deals also represent conflicts of interest.

trump made a promise not to break ethics rules even more than he already has...

• The Trump Organization will not enter into new contracts with foreign governments

He broke the promise. Why don't you care?

Check the dictionary. You apparently don't know what irony is.

The left is worried about the global Trump corporation relation with foreign governments when they ignored Hunter Biden's no show job as payment for access to his father. No surprise.

trumples don't give a damn about the open corruption, the flaunting of law, the abuse of power, or anything else trump does. Like congressional Repubs, The Following has forgotten their loyalty is supposed to be to the country, not Dear Leader.

Just curious bergie, what "open corruption" stories are they feeding you?

There is nothing normal about the POTUS having financial conflicts of interest.

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.

[JimH52]

Yep. They want to be ruled by a right wing authoritarian. Modern-day fascism.

He's doing everything he can, and has been fairly successful so far.

"GIVE US A KING!" Sounds familiar?

You must be joking if you think the guy who believes he's smarter than everyone would really leave decisions affecting his wealth to those dopes.

In 2017, Mr. Trump called Qatar a sponsor of terrorism and voiced support for a Saudi-led regional economic and diplomatic blockade of the nation, an important military outpost for the United States in the Middle East. That blockade ended just as Mr. Trump left office in January 2021.

On Monday, Mr. Trump grew angry at the questions of an ethical quagmire, including whether Qatar expected anything in exchange for the donation of the jetliner, which he said would be to the Defense Department and not to him personally. Democrats and government watchdogs have suggested the donation would violate the emoluments clause of the Constitution prohibiting gifts from foreign governments to public office holders, and create an incentive structure for Mr. Trump regarding Qatar. As it is, Mr. Trump’s private company has several projects in the region, including a planned golf course in Qatar.

Again, it was already published that they would refrain from any foreign government business except for things that are normal business practice, which real estate is a normal business practice for him.

I also think the jet thing is a bad idea BTW.
