Will Republicans Make 2020 About Trump's Integrity?

[Indeependent]

I wouldn't thought so, and I didn't think so at the time, either.

But the definition of "emoluments" was expanded to include regular business activities as soon as Donald Trump took office.

Its only fair that libs be held to the standards that they are trying to hold others too.

Do you think a foreign national buying a $20 book, thinks that this will buy them access to then President Obama?

Probably not. And when guests stay at the Trump International , it doesn't buy they access to President Trump either. But the libs still call it an "emolument". Remember it isn't the amount, or whether Obama is crooked or not, its whether its an emolument.

Oh, but it is about being crooked and wheeling and dealing in favor of a foreign entity over the USA, that is why there IS THE emolument's clause in the constitution and why the constitution made it mandatory that the President be a Natural Born Citizen.... the founders had great fear of foreign influence or foreign allegiance, in our government through our Presidents.

How about when you provide care for an Illegal when they visit your hospital?

What financial gain for the President will this do, that will make him change his foreign policy with this sick person's country, and choose this sick person's country, over and above the USA?

Is the sick illegal BUYING influence of the President, is this a 'pay for play' on the sick person's part?

You are, of course, referring to the first President since Reagan not to kiss China’s ass.
And you claim you’re in the Health field.
Obviously not the Mental Health field.

The arrangement has provoked concerns that foreign governments can curry favor with the president by renting rooms at his luxury hotel in Washington or deploying state-owned companies to develop overseas projects, as some suggested a Chinese firm may have done when it agreed to help build a $500 million entertainment complex in Indonesia that includes a Trump-branded hotel."

Obama was an author, and sold his books to various foreign countries as well. Do you think the Russians or Iranians might have been currying favor with B. Hussein O by buying his books? I don't know if you realize this, but Obama's net worth increased a hundredfold during his reign, and a lot of money came from abroad.

Obama's reported net worth is a fraction of Trump's.
Trump, Inc consists of hundreds of businesses.
Obama has no such empire.

Trump vs. Obama: Here's How Much Each President Is Really Worth, and How He Made His Money

And Obama and Clinton made no attempt to hide their income tax returns from voters, unlike Trump who thinks it is "smart" to cheat on his federal tax obligations.

If Trump has so much net worth, why wont any US banks loan him money?

Trump presides over the most corrupt administration in recent US History:

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

"Donald Trump promised to drain the Washington swamp. Instead, he has surrounded himself with family members, appointees and advisers who’ve been accused of conflicts of interest."

, misuse of public funds

, influence peddling

, self-enrichment

, working for foreign governments

, failure to disclose information

and violating ethics rules

. Some are under investigation

or facing lawsuits

, others have resigned

and five have either been convicted or pleaded guilty

, including three for lying to government officials

. Scandals plague all administrations, but Trump’s is only two years old and the allegations keep on coming

This is so ironic.
Considering the fact that Democrats created Obamacare..which costs us trillions....and are responsible for $152 billion in extra ANNUAL expenditures paying for all of the illegals they've encouraged to come to the US. Then there's their Green New Deal proposal which will cost us $92 TRILLION DOLLARS.

We spend more money paying for Democrat's fuckups than we do for anything else.

Even if all your allegations above are accurate, how does that absolve Trump from running the most corrupt administration in the last hundred years?

Well, considering that fact that it would take some doing for Trump to equal the corruption of the Obama Administration.....and most of the corruption is a fabrication by a corrupt media......I don't think Trump needs any absolution at all.

Pretty pathetic.
You have to use stuff that other people did before they worked for Trump, things they were all fired for when it was discovered.....
Not a very convincing argument.

Opinion | Trump’s Corruption: The Definitive List

"Trump’s Cabinet, Aides and Allies
Friendly businesses also get special treatment.

"The Education Department during the Obama administration aggressively regulated for-profit colleges — many of which have miserable records, often taking money from students without providing a useful education.

"Trump chose Betsy DeVos, a longtime advocate of these colleges and an investor in them, as his education secretary.

"She, not surprisingly, has gone easy on for-profit colleges.

"Among other moves, she has reassigned the members of an department team investigating potentially fraudulent activities at for-profit colleges.

"DeVos is the most blatant example of administration officials protecting companies where they once worked, but there are many others.

"More than 164 former lobbyists work in the administration, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, including several who regulate the industries that once paid their salaries. Geoff Burr, who pushed for more lax workplace safety laws when he was the chief lobbyist for a construction group, now works at the Department of Labor.

"Andrew Wheeler, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, was previously a lobbyist whose firm was paid millions of dollars by companies whose industries he now regulates."

Pretend he's still a Democrat.
Would it matter more?

"Democrats faced a more challenging Senate map in 2018 than Republicans, in part because they had more seats up for election.

Foreign emoluments?
Domestic emoluments?
Obviously, all politicians are corrupt, since they could never raise enough money to get elected if they didn't follow ruling class scripture.
But Trump's presidency rests on a foundation of fraud that will likely crumble over the next 19 months.
Will Republicans sacrifice their party on the altar of Trump?
I sure hope so.

Any politician running on integrity will get laughed out of the race. No politician has any integrity. They are all trash.

There's little chance of integrity taking hold politically in a capitalist economy.

How Capitalism Is Killing Democracy

"How Capitalism Is Killing Democracy

"Free markets were supposed to lead to free societies. Instead, today's supercharged global economy is eroding the power of the people in democracies around the globe. Welcome to a world where the bottom line trumps the common good and government takes a back seat to big business."

Even so, electing a racist con-man/crony-capitalist who found a way to cut out corrupt political middlemen seems like a move in the wrong direction.
