    Blending the Presidency with personal business

    And so it starts:

    TPM: “For a number of years, Trump and his Argentine partners have been trying to build a major office building in Buenos Aires. The project has been held up by a series of complications tied to financing, importation of building materials and various permitting requirements.”

    “According to a report out of Argentina, when Argentine President Mauricio Macri called President-Elect Trump to congratulate him on his election, Trump asked Macri to deal with the permitting issues that are currently holding up the project.”
    Being President is going to be good for business.... HIS business, of course.

        It does sounds like a pure and simple case of xenophobia, doesn't it ..I don't know what they are so afraid of.....we are a nation of immigrants.

          Do you ever respond with something that has some actual content and thought behind it? Something that addresses issues?

          Or is your intellect so incredibly limited that all you can manage is some one-liner, some flippant disparagement of comments made by others?

          Do you even HAVE an opinion about the propriety of a President using the influence of his office to line his pockets? You think it's just fine and dandy?

          This is the reason I rarely ever respond to your posts.... you simply don't have any substance, whatsoever.... just disparaging one-liners.

          Here's a clue: you're not going to make it, in the stand-up comedy biz.

              The Trump hotel in Washington will be filled with Asian lobbyists looking to curry favors. It is viewed as good business.

                Go on admit it you liked it , even a little bit.
                Not even a little bit.... it's just more evidence that you have nothing to contribute here, other than mean-spirited sniping, gratuitous insults, and juvenile gloating. I haven't seen a single substantive posting by you in ages. From now on, I'll ignore you, as well as RonW.

                  Looks as though Scot took care of the issue for you, Norman.

                    He did, and he lost. Just doesn't quite know it yet.
