Trash could use his administration for personal profit—Americans would never know

[boutons_deux]

Trump's conflicts of interest are without precedent in American presidential history (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/11/09/trumps-conflicts-of-interest-are-without-precedent-in-american-presidential-history/?postshare=5191478719865290&tid=ss_tw), says the Washington Post.

Yeah, no shit.

No laws prohibit Trump from involving himself in his private company, the Trump Organization, while serving in the highest public office.

Not only has Trump suggested that he will, instead of divesting himself from his corporate interests, be simply handing them to his family to oversee, but he refuses to even let American voters know what those interests are.

Donald Trump will be governing the business of the nation in a way that may or may not be intended to enrich himself—and Americans won't know

As for the notion of handing his business dealings to his family:

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump were reportedly part of the Trump team's transition meetings today.

So the people running his companies "independently" are, literally, sitting alongside the other administration decision makers.

It’s “unthinkable in recent history,” Potter added, that

“there’s the possibility of a president being able to affect his own personal financial interests,

conceivably to the detriment of the general public.”

He's leasing the Old Post Office from the GSA. No conflict there?

Forgiveness for his biggest creditor?


Donald Trump’s election has likely given a massive lifeline to Deutsche Bank, the German financial firm that has been rocked recently by rumors that they would have to pay a $14 billion fine (http://www.wsj.com/articles/deutsche-bank-is-asked-to-pay-14-billion-to-resolve-u-s-probe-into-mortgage-securities-1473975404) to the Justice Department over crisis-related mortgage abuses.


That money is unlikely to ever be imposed, now that one of Deutsche Bank’s biggest borrowers – Trump – will soon be sitting in the White House.

The private bank division of the firm has lent Trump $364 million in mortgages (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/09/donald-trump-and-deutsche-bank) on his Doral golf club in Miami and hotels in Chicago and Washington, D.C., in the last few years, and at least $2.5 billion (http://www.wsj.com/articles/when-donald-trump-needs-a-loan-he-chooses-deutsche-bank-1458379806) to Trump’s affiliated businesses since 1998, with another $1 billion in loan guarantees. The recent loans on the three properties all come due before 2024

*crickets*

[Winehole23]

Ethics officials urged Trump during his campaign to pledge he would sell his businesses or cede them to an independent authority. Many modern presidents — including Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and both Bushes — went beyond what was required and placed their assets in “blind trusts,” run by third-party managers who keep complete control.

But Trump has refused to make such a pledge, saying only that he would give companies to his children and executives to run.
