Trump's stunt was in violation of federal policy.

[turbinetree]

The Office of Government Ethics section 2635.702 states that a federal employee ‘shall not use his public office for his own private gain, for the
endorsement of any product, service or enterprise, or for the private gain of
friends, relatives, or persons with whom the employee is affiliated in a
nongovernmental capacity.’

Maybe just maybe some citizens should file charges against this fucker and that illegal immigrant...........has anyone asked him about his fucking green card papers yet............just asking for friend............

[Ocelot II]

1. Which stunt? When do his stunts *not* violate some policy or rule or statute?

That's how he rolls. He's a walking crime scene, might as well just wrap him up in that yellow tape.

[Justice matters.]

10. But, but, but, his cultists say he is fighting for Freedumb...

Freedumb to do whatever he wants anytime he wants to... and...

that all these rules (Laws) against his freedumb come from "Communists" ...

[Magoo48]

19. And with no threat of any consequences, well, why not.

[DENVERPOPS]

21. Agreed Magoo

Since when have Trump, his CABAL, or any Republican Politician for that matter, paid the slightest bit of concern for the Rule Of Law, or the Constitution, as well as ethics or morals????????

[arthritisR_US]

52. Normalizing his constitutional raping is only setting up his

authoritarian seeting.

[GreenWave]

2. SCROTUS kicked the emoluments violations down the road until ... oops no longer valid

not a President.

[CanonRay]

3. Policy violation. That's funny.

He commits at least 10 felonies a day.

[SergeStorms]

31. Bullshit.

It's at least 25 per day, at a minimum.

[vapor2]

45. I totally blame SCOTUS for their immunity crap

[Walleye]

4. I think the United States benevolently granted the billionaire citizenship

Wealth is the only thing besides cruelty that Trump has any respect for. I don’t know how we get rid of Elon. He has Velcroed himself to this government.

[Justice matters.]

13. The markets will get rid of the buffoon on ketamine

with $WASTIKA$ painted on his ugly-looking products... like the my-pillow conman experienced.

And like that stupid drunk nosferatu... (who should have known better...)

[Walleye]

15. Oh yeah, I forgot about the my pillow guy. Where is he now? I wonder

[Chellee]

30. Bankruptcy court, mostly. nt

[Dulcinea]

50. Back on crack? nt

[Walleye]

51. That would be my guess

[stopdiggin]

5. rather than talk of 'violation' or 'illegal'

I think I would prefer a conversation on just how utterly small - and SAD ...

How immensely proud ....

[FloridaBlues]

6. Unfortunately no one will enforce this law to him.

[Justice matters.]

14. And that sums up the "flaw" in the system...

The Home of the Brave is empty.

[ToxMarz]

17. But it's not a law

So there's nothing to enforce. If he had a boss, then maybe he could be fired or reprimanded somehow for violating a policy, but he is the ultimate decider as far as adhering to policy goes and what the penalties are. All we can do is keep score of the violations and stew about it. Hopefully some of his supporters will take note, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

[NNadir]

7. Obviously they couldn't care less about law. They're criminals.

[Tootbsb]

8. Criminals are going to crime. Who is going to stop them.

No one has the balls.

[twodogsbarking]

9. Are we keeping score? No, that is forbidden.

[dchill]

11. Trump's second presidency is in violation of federal policy.

In main.

[Lokee11]

12. Some Ninny On Reddit

Tried to get me to believe this TESLA BS was not like this -



BUT more so like when Biden drove the Jeep at the White House

Just cannot deal with these people anymore -

Sorry.

[littlemissmartypants]

16. Yawn. ...

He and his buds are a bunch of psychopaths. Following any law isn't a concern for the psychopath. They don't acknowledge the difference between right and wrong or believe in laws. It's an entirely foreign concept for their twisted minds. They can't even think about it.

Laws are not and never will be a deterrent for any psychopath. It's one of the characteristics that defines them.

Some people never learn.

[thesquanderer]

18. Policy is not law. Violating it is not illegal/criminal.

A policy could be used to dismiss someone who works under you. But Trump has no superior to decide his fate. The only way this could be used would be as a foundation to impeach (which, as oft-discussed here in the past, is a political process, not one of law enforcement). But this House will not impeach, and this Senate would not convict. So he can pretty much do what he wants, unless maybe we somehow manage to get control of Congress in 2026.

And, as the court has decided, as long as whatever he does is done in his official capacity as president, it can't be illegal, either.

[Liberal In Texas]

24. The Hatch Act IS a law.

What he did is illegal. But of course the supremes say he's above the law.

[Katcat]

20. Sooo

What’s new?

[IronLionZion]

22. Twice impeached convicted felon doesn't care about laws or regulations or policies

Bureaucracy is holding him back from greatness. He's sending his muskrat to chainsaw through red tape.

[sakabatou]

23. Since when did Repukes care, even during his first term?

[Orrex]

25. lol that only applies during Democratic administrations

[Botany]

26. Do you think Krasnov gives a shit about the law, ethics, and how the optics look?

Btw I used to use Goya products all the time but I have stopped using them since
the head of the Company endorsed Krasnov.

[Sanity Claws]

27. He got away with it when he did it for Goya last time

So of course he will continue doing it.

[a kennedy]

28. Who's gonna stop him....grifters, gotta grift eh??

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[ShazzieB]

29. Which stunt, please?

He breaks laws constantly. Please tell us what specific instance you're referring to.

[progressoid]

36. I assume the OP is refencing the Tesla event

[ShazzieB]

41. I must have missed that.

I will go check the news, thanks.

[CentralBlueTexan]

32. turbinetree

A bully shill always be a bully. The fact that he is also a convicted felon doesn’t change anything.

[turbinetree]

34. I know and it is heartbreaking that this traitor has never been thrown in jail..............

that is what is so aggravating..............it has and always has been outright blatant...........

[Wednesdays]

33. Well, that never stopped them before.

Ivanka Trump says she had ‘every right’ to promote Goya Foods products on social media

[Bo Zarts]

35. Ivanka eats Goya Black Beans every day, and ..

Like father, like daughter.

[progressoid]

37. Federal policy and ethics!!!!!

That's soooooo 2015

[rzemanfl]

38. I remember the outcry when Eisenhower said something about

people calming down and having a Coke. Different times.

[DownriverDem]

39. Musk doesn't need

a green card. He is a citizen of the US and Canada.

[bee_peaceful]

40. like he cares... NT

[spanone]

42. He couldn't care less.

FUCKING FELON

[BurnDoubt]

43. Badges? Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!!!!

Nice boots!!! Nice boots!!!

[vapor2]

44. True (violation of the Hatch act) but he and muskrat ignore any and all laws

Maybe a class action lawsuit? I'm in

[JustAnotherGen]

46. Nothing ever comes of it

[calimary]

47. How I YEARN for the day when I don't hear a single word about Orangeman.

Not sure I’ll live that long, though.

[HarryM]

48. You do know that Muskrat has US citizenship

Even though he got it illegally. He left South Africa shortly before he was 18, and would have had to serve the military there. He moved to Canada, where he was granted citizenship due to his mother being born in Canada. In 1995, he got a student visa but left college to take part in the “dotcom” bubble, and other business schemes. That would have made his student visa invalid. He became citizen of the US in 2002.


AFAIC He should be sent back to South Africa, and fitted with one of their traditional pieces of “jewelry.”

[Dem4life1234]

49. I'm so sick of this shit

The man continues to do illegal shit and no one is doing anything to stop him.


Very damn frustrating.

[Kid Berwyn]

53. Little Dimdonnie Trump is soooo special.

Others who’ve done a tiny fraction of what he’s done are now living out their lives in a Supermax.

[Eugene]

54. policy? norms and expectations? ethics? The J6er-in-chief blew past all of this a long time ago.

Now he's going full autocrat and kleptocrat without any pretense of legitimacy.

[Gimpyknee]

55. As most of his stunts are

[markodochartaigh]

56. He wants to pave over the Whitehouse Rose Garden too.

Our reality is like a bizarre Hollywood spoof where the president paves over the Rose Garden to put in an auto dealership.

Is this the logical endpoint to a culture which values style over substance and plastic fakeness over reality?

[SheltieLover]

57. He did this for 4 yrs with no consequence. Now doing it again.
