TYPICAL! PET et al accused the Clinton Foundation of being crooked. Guess who the crooks are? Guess who admitted to it?

TRUMP FOUNDATION illegalities

Using Foundation money to contribute to the campaign of Florida Attorney General Pam Biondi for which it was fined

NEWEST MOST EGREGIOUS illegality?

Violated a legal prohibition against "self-dealing". That bars non-profit leaders from using their charities' money to help themselves their businesses or their families

That admission by the Trump Foundation was contained in their IRS tax filing for 2015 .

Now if that had been the Clinton Foundation Congress would be having multiple investigations simultaneously. They would be falling all over themselves setting up meetings. You know the usual suspects? That's all they do. Investigate Hillary Clinton.

There would be outrage and accusations and attacks and vilification and pointyfingering. Well the Clinton Foundation was found innocent of any illegalities. It's the Trump  Foundation that is crooked. Where in the he** is the outrage and investigations and accusations against it? Where are all the committees being set up to figure out just how deep and wide the crookedness has spread?  Why the silence? Two-faced hypocrites? NAW.

    No surprise. Sadly, I have to say so.

    They got their elect. Now they cross fingers that he at least will stick truthfully to the one thing they voted for, the appointments for SCOTUS. They knew they bought in on a lot of stuff. They knew he is as crooked as he as accused any opponent being. But their hopes are he will stick to the one thing. Lets see how much his Veep can do persuading him about that one thing. Smh.

     He is already backtracking on some solid promises. He will not pursue any investigation of Hillary Clinton. He says the Clintons have been through enough and that he doesn't want to hurt them. Where does that put all the "lock her up" Hillary haters? Does the hate transfer to PET? I dunno SH. It gets gloomier and doomier. Now he seems to be saying the president can do do nothing illegal. He will use that to justify his continuing to run his business enterprises all the while signing or refusing to sign any legislation that will adversely impact any of his business interests..foreign or domestic. he has already asked the Argentine prez to back off on building wind farms near a golf club project he has going with them. He says the site of windmills is not in keeping with the view from golf courses. He knows both ends you see and he can leverage/influence things to make sure that his interests will always be served first/best/always. Who is going to stop him? Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday! :)

    All this is no surprise either. I warned against his behavior just like you did. He won't change simply because he will be the POTUS. He will use it for personal gain. I'm sure some of his hard core supporters will cheer this as they say it's showing strength. They will see all the blue-collar jobs he will BRING BACK HOME. It's such a tragic-comic performance we will be witnessing. I do hope that some of those soft core supporters, we also have seen here, will realize the damage they have done to USA and the World society. I do hope he won't make a "Putin" with USA and become the second despot of the never time. We got a few others but those will be the big players that can cause world disorder in a heated discussion. Ugh. Almost forgetting it, Happy Wednesday to you as well, Rosie. :-)

    Thank you SH! Exactly. I just wonder with his reversal on attacking Hillary and having her investigated and possibly jailed what his "Lock Her Up" Hillary haters will do due to his betrayal of them on that issue? Will the hate transfer to PET? It is no accident that PET admires PUTIN. He will model himself after PUTIN and  all the others who represent Authoritarian Dictatorship. That is his ideal of a leader.  He warned us. Believe him.  How long will it take for his worshippers to figure out they screwed up big time?  How sharp will they be after the fact of their betrayal of their country? What will it take for them to apologize to those of us who kept warning them? How do they save face when it is they who will have caused all of this? Wait and see. It should be interesting. How they will pretzelize themselves. It will be a fascinating show. Terrifying but fascinating. :(

    That is the only one thing I do believe about him, looking for Authoritarian Dictatorship. Anything else was a sales pitch which he does well. After all he has learned to live by other peoples money after he went bankrupt first time.

    This is a perfect setup for PET. Now he has leverage. He won't release his tax returns so we will never know what foreign business interests he has or how well they are flourishing under his presidenceship DURING his presidency. He can talk to foreign country leaders and let them know he will support them IF they support him. Quid pro quo. He as much as said the President is above the law. Same thing Tricky Dickie Nixon said. He said anything the President does is legal because the president does it. That is circumlocution as its best. That pretty much covers everything PET will do.  Out of sight or oversight. Behind closed doors. In the shadows in the dark of the night. He  will become a trillionaire on his watch. He can't help it. He will manipulate everything so that it will enrich him, his family, his business interests. We will never know the details. We don't have "the need to know". I don 't know if the PET supporters have the capacity to realize the grave disservice they have caused our country and the world. They may simply be unable to grasp the vastness  of it. If all they care about is SCOTUS that is where their attention will be and they will be obviously  oblivious to all the fallout getting there. SIGH.  :(
