Nothing wrong with using the office of POTUS to proselytize/advertise your businesses. Ivanka is getting some flak for that. PET too. Why?

Ivanka advertised a bracelet she wore on the 60 Minutes interview. Apparently it is gold and costs only $8000.  Ivanka also has a clothing line. Melania has business interests too that she has hawked on  some  Home Shopping Network show(s). Of course PET advertises his golf courses and hotels all the time. Why not use the bully pulpit that POTUS provides to hawk your products? I mean just because PET decided to take on the job  of POTUS doesn't mean anything has to change. He is a businessman first and foremost. He keeps reminding us of that. I think Ivanka and Melania are business women first and foremost too otherwise they would think it unseemly to hawk their wares like ordinary sales people. You know how well thought of Used Car Salesman are, right? Highly. Well that would also accrue to the first family too.  Any conflict of interest would be in the eye of the beholder. Fie on them! A pox on their houses. Why would anyone wanna be POTUS if he couldn't do whatever the he** he wanted to do including making a lotta money off it? That's the main perk isn't it?

    She wore a bracelet.  Big deal. Someone at the company issued a "style alert" saying it was worn on 60 minutes. This does not bother me at all.

    Melania sells product on the Home Shopping Channel....again big deal. 

    Did Bill Clinton stop giving paid speeches while Hillary was SOS? Nope.  Again big deal.

    Forget it Rosie. They cannot do ANYTHING wrong. Just look up the thread, excuses will be fabricated, fingers pointed at the Clinton family as always. Isn't it funny how they always point fingers at the Clinton family telling us how bad they were, and yet accept and even make use of them as their excuse for Trump? They look so cute when they do all their wriggling stuff to make up all these excuses, telling us it's no big deal any longer. Tsk tsk.

    Can you do me a favor sweetie? I just asked a question about Tumpeter Swans. Please read it and if it appeals to you couldja answer it? Thank you for your thoughtful answer and the favor. I appreciate both. Ordinarily I wouldn't ask because it sounds so pushy and needy but, well, I think we're good enough pals that I can dare the imposition. Happy Wednesday SH! :) This post was edited by RosieG at November 16, 2016 5:13 AM MST
