THE MONEY ROLLS IN

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/28/china-ivanka-trump-trademarks-610029

The Presidency is just another business investment.

A real head scratcher. How blatant must the corruption be in order to get our collective attention.

What pisses me off is that a few days ago, Pompeo was asked about conflicts of interest in Trump's foreign policy, and the Dem asking the question didn't have stuff like this at his fingertips. He let Pompeo get the better of him.

Trump does what he wants. He knows he won't get away with everything, but he can win partially in some of the cases. And where he doesn't win, he can hurt his opponents, and he sees that as winning even though both sides lose in some cases. This is how he has the chutzpah to dare everyone to rein him in. It's like the "easier to get forgiveness than permission" approach gone awry.

Trump will continue to fleece the US government and American citizens until he is stopped. 

I don't know how he will eventually be stopped, but it won't be pretty.  Even if he is just voted out of office, he won't go quietly.

And he just started a major trade war with Canada, EU & Mexico, who supposedly are our allies.  

Initially I thought that he 'just' wanted to erase everything that Obama did.  I am slowly getting to the conclusion, that he is out to destroy not only the US, but also the world - simply because he can.

If this presidency does not give rise to some sort of pre-qualification process, I don't know what will.

Being very insecure he does want to erase Obama's legacy. 

I don't think his thought process is capable of thinking to destroy the US and/or the World orderthat. It is because he's extremely stupid. He doesn't realize the ramifications. What sticks in his brain is that he doesn't deal with anyone unless they do something for him first.

He's helping China with ZTE even though ZTE busted our sanctions by trading with Iran and NK. But then China helped him first with their 500 million contribution to Trump's Indonesia project and with Ivanka's trademarks.
