(15,480 posts)As Hillary's "minister of trade", he can drum up billions in "contributions" to the Clinton Family Foundation.
Wow! The ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, profiteering opportunity for Bill. Those slick Clintons - always thinking ahead to grow their wealth.
This would be the perfect area to set Bill loose - trade deals! I mean, they pulled this shit before with tradeoffs on State Department weapons approvals in exchange for hefty "donations" to the Clinton Foundation. Now they can expand their quid-pro-quos to the entire broad spectrum of trade.
CLINTON TRADE DEALS - NOT JUST FOR LETHAL ARMAMENTS ANYMORE![/b
HILLARY AND BILL - THE WORLD IS THEIR OYSTER!
Clinton was talking extensively about trade, an issue that she has gotten a fair amount of push-back on from opponent Bernie Sanders. While Sanders opposes the Trans-Pacific partnership and rails against NAFTA, Clinton has always supported these trade deals.
But just because you feel Clinton has bad judgement on trade doesnt mean that she cant put someone even worse behind that wheel. Clinton said that when it comes to trade, a President Hillary Clinton would call on the first husband to broker deals and be in charge.
I told my husband hes gotta come out of retirement and be in charge of this.
To many who are critical of Bill Clintons trade policy during his time as president in the 90s, saying Clinton would put her husband in charge of trade is akin to putting him in charge of the White House interns: Just a bad idea.
