New York Times: “As president-elect, he had pledged to step back from the Trump Organization and recuse himself from his private company’s operation. As president, he built a system of direct presidential influence-peddling unrivaled in modern American politics.” “Federal tax-return data for Mr. Trump and his business empire, which was disclosed by The New York Times last month, showed that even as he leveraged his image as a successful businessman to win the presidency, large swaths of his real estate holdings were under financial stress, racking up losses over the preceding decades.” “But once Mr. Trump was in the White House, his family business discovered a lucrative new revenue stream: people who wanted something from the president. An investigation by The Times found over 200 companies, special-interest groups and foreign governments that patronized Mr. Trump’s properties while reaping benefits from him and his administration. Nearly a quarter of those patrons have not been previously reported.”
I can't predict what future presidents will be like, but I truly believe that historians will peg him as the worst president since Andrew Johnson. He doesn't believe in science, lies dozens of times a day, completely ignores facts, doesn't even try to unite the country, and calls for the arrest of his political opponents based on bullshit like a tinpot dictator.
But he's been the only guy in the world who has strongly confronted the bs from China, gotta give him that. Everyone else has either bent over or profited from Chinese blackmail.
China is having very very impressive growth. Trump got into something and he lost. Now they are way ahead on military development vs where they would be, they can justify everything on we can't have Trump II and must be ready. China has just taken even more of the rest of the world's market and Colombia where I live is fucking full of Chinese investors and companies vs 4 years ago, it used to be a US ally, not for long.
I get that China's squeezing Australia, but believe me, there's no conviction in Trump's word on China. It's politically savvy to bully them, but Donnie would be singing a completely different tune if China played ball on damaging Biden or whatever other nonesense came to his sick head. We'll have to see how Biden pushes, but luckily he'll have Donnie's sanctions and tariffs to bargain with. I'm not sure "war hawk" Hillary would've sat idly by on uighur concentration camps
RNC paid $42M to a company that was founded 9 months ago that has no website, no other group has contracts with, and has anonymous owners. RNC's highest-paid vendor of the 2020 election: A mystery company formed nine months ago Digital Consulting Group made $42 million in eight months for media and marketing services. But who's behind it? https://www.salon.com/2020/12/04/rn...ion-a-mystery-company-formed-nine-months-ago/
I frankly could give a fuck if redhats are getting scammed. The RNC should get a medal instead of an investigation. If the RNC is somehow getting tax payer funds on the other hand...
