Joy Reid warns Trump's properties are about to become instant terrorist targets

[DonViejo]

The incoming president’s real estate business presents a lot problems for him ethically but MSNBC’s Joy Reid noted that there are even larger concerns at play.

“We cannot discount how his personal conflicts of interest wind up influencing his foreign policy,” she said on “Meet The Press” Sunday. “We don’t know to what international banks he is in debt. We don’t know the extent to which his own pecuniary interests might influence his foreign policy, if his children are still running his company and there’s a hotel to be built in Dubai, does that influence his reaction if the government of Dubai acts in a way we don’t want, in Turkey or other countries.”

But one of the more horrifying things to ponder is the ability for terrorists to target the United States by going after one of the many places all over the world with the president’s name on it.

“You start to have anything with a Trump name on it around the world becoming an instant terrorist target,” Reid said, citing a Republican strategist who revealed that concern. “How do we react to a world in which the name of the president of the United States is plastered all over hotels and hot spots?”

"Next, take into account what you already know about Donald Trump, a man inordinately proud of his brand and hypersensitive beyond belief." . . . "Don’t for a second doubt that, under such circumstances, American foreign and military policy would end up being focused on saving the Trump brand, which, in turn, would be a nightmare to behold."

3. we need to make sure we the people aren't paying for his private businesses.

5. The State Dept should be placing warning to our citizens....

about travel and lodging in those countries where he has emblazoned his buildings, with faux gold targets.

6. Glad that someone has finally mentioned this in the national media

I've been asking this since right after the election. How can you possibly protect a hotel from someone wanting to do harm and is disguised as a guest? Are they going to install metal and bomb detectors at all of his hotels? If so, who pays for all of the added security? One more instance where the conflict of interest boggles the mind.

8. I thought about this a long time ago

When he became President elect. I am only surprised that so far all seems well.

7. False Flag? Or not?

Seems they are target number one around the world. Non fortified, famous name targets are number one on anyone's list.

unless there's a terrorism out clause.
