Future historians trying to understand Trumps foreign policy impulses need to look no further than thishis personal business interests. Its corrupt. Its what weve warned about. And its another reason hes disgraced his office.
Trump to restart foreign deals, breaking a post-presidency norm
A return to overseas dealmaking raises new ethical issues no ex-president has ever confronted. Trumps sprawling global company is private and increasingly reliant on foreign lenders.

(13,003 posts)The amount of top secret intelligence that Trump and his spawn have gathered, and are probably STILL gathering daily is going to pave all of their wealth for some time to come. Jared, last year was short on money and needed 150 Million for a really bad real estate venture he had done?????? The U.S. Taxpayers paid for him, the Secret Service entourage, millions of travel expenses for him to go to the Saudi's with some Top Secret info from our U.S. Intelligence. The next day Jared came back with a 150 Million Dollar "Loan".
It was reported that days later, several in the Saudi Administration "disappeared".........
Can you even begin to imagine the truckloads of Top Secret Intel that Trump/McConnell have already given to Putin/Russians?????

(13,003 posts)has been grooming and financing Trump since the 90's, I'm sure Putin no longer has to "pay" him in a quid pro quo for all he has done for Trump. Trump is soooo stupid/cocky, he stood in a group of people in the white hosue and told two Russian Officers, where our subs were off the coast of North Korea and how many. He discussed outlaid foreign matters in his mar a lago dining room filled with guests and a foreign dignitary from some country.
I'm sure there are many transactions that don't involve money, Just Putin showing a RepubliCON politician and 8 x 10 Color Glossy or two......Think Lindsay Graham when he threw a 180 a year ago after just one meeting with Trump.......

(76,380 posts)Given that PINO came in & trashed agreements made in good faith, what countries are going to do these deals?
The precedent is set for a new POTUS to pull the plug, and there'll be a new one in 47 days.
I don't see many countries rushing to make deals that might only last 40 to 90 days.
This seems like a "give the baby a rattler" moment to keep PINO from pouting for the next 7 weeks.

(7,794 posts)domestic agenda. For so long as Trump lives he will continue to try and steal, the headlines too. A prison on New York is probably the only solution. Less than that and he's totally on a (secret service secured) "Rainbow Tour" which would but Peron to shame.
