Again, he didn't get elected.

And that was good for the country.
JFK did get elected. Didn't get rid of his vast fortune. Nor did his family.

I think everyone agrees that conflict of interest rules don't apply to the president - he is free to use the power of the office for his own financial benefit to the maximum of his abilities.
Happy now?

Well, that was 56 years ago. But more importantly, JFK wasn't fundamentally a con man.
I suppose Trump using the presidency to enrich himself is in tune with your every-man-for-himself, caveat emptor philosophy?

Also.... your point is moot if "congress consents".
Congress consent does not equal "corruption".

Has Trump done that yet?
Kennedy's dad was a crook.
I'm sure the two talked when JFK was president.
Are your panties in a bunch over that, too?

As for Trump, no. I don't think it's ok for him to use the office to enrich himself.
Wait, isn't congress corrupt? I could swear I've been hearing that somewhere. Some swamp analogy. Oh well.
Are we forbidden from discussing what might happen in a couple months?

I mean the dude is being blamed for shit and he isn't even the President yet.

Elections have consequences, as Denny likes to say, and one of those consequences is that the winner gets scrutinized. If you and he can't take it, it's not to late to concede.

Ok, but to literally claim WW3 is coming is going a little too far. I know that wasn't brought up in THIS thread, but shit guys..... RELAX.
BRUH! it was just an example of the chicken LITTLE!Yeah guys, someone in another thread said something about ww3, let's stop talking about this now.

So, I guess what we have here... is...
A) A bunch of "What if's"
B) Chicken Little
C) ridiculous assumptions
All to be bitch slapped to nothing if the "congress consents".
So again, nothing to see hear.........................................yet.
I'm on his ass, sorry trump guys, but when he fucks up, it doesn't fly with me.
I really don't care about the blind trust. Honestly, it's in his best interest to do it. People are going to tear apart his every move looking for his slightest gain if he doesn't. He would be smart to do it and put it to bed.
Maybe I'm missing this, but where does he say he won't do a blind trust if elected?The Democrats were more concerned with defending Heinz for outsourcing jobs overseas.

John Kerry: No Blind Trusts, Tax Avoidance, and Conflicts of Interest
But with a net worth over $230 million, Kerry and his wife -- whose $1B net worth dwarfs her husband’s -- over the years have avoided millions of dollars in taxes through a complex web of inherited trust funds. Last year alone they earned about $4.8 million for which they paid no taxes.
Moreover, the Kerrys haven’t placed any investments into a blind trust, as recommended for avoiding conflicts of interest. They also have numerous stock investments in companies standing to benefit from Kerry’s voting for bailouts and ObamaCare.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP), the 12-member super committee, charged with cutting the national debt $1.5T, “by and large, are far wealthier than the average American.”
Leading the pack, financially speaking, is Senator Kerry, whose net worth is estimated to be $239M (averaging the latest available estimated minimum and maximum values from CRP). This is about 2,500 times the average American’s net worth of $96,000.
That's pretty much what I said in OP. If he doesn't there's will be an aura of corruption. You get a "that's fair", but I get called Chicken Little. Lol.I'm on his ass, sorry trump guys, but when he fucks up, it doesn't fly with me.

JFK also got shot in the fucking head.
Precedent for the president.Like I said, 56 years ago. Not much I can do about it now (or could have done about it then).
