Donald Trump Resists Calls To Divest Himself Of Businesses | MSNBC

[Panthro-lolh]

people cried and cried about hillary and the conflicts of interest, so they elect a guy with companies all over the world and massive conflicts of interests.

So this is grounds for impeachment right? Emolument clause and whatnot?

[EnuffWITdWOBBLEbass]

For all the complaining they did about the Clinton Foundation, it would be beyond hypocritical to NOT relinquish control of his businesses. It's the EXACT same conflict of interest.

[sucksqueezebangblow]

Lock Him Up. H'd be best off to say "America, I'm stepping down". We'll start all over with new candidates.

...oh...now Ivanka is referred to as THE FIRST

Anybody that thinks Trump is really going to separate himself from his businesses and also separate his family from them, let me know because I have some ocean front property in Arizona I want to sell.

[patricehenry]

Well, he hasn't been sworn in yet and I'm hopeful that he will do the right thing!

Good grief! Just do the right thing! Why did he run for office if he's not going to comply with the US Constitution?

God help us!

[weshallbesaved]

So, where did Obummer come up with his 12 million, to buy 3 mansions, take all the family vacations, etc. We should check him out first, you think?

[chriskaneff]

Who out there has the organizational skills to spearhead a mass lawsuit against Don for this one?

If we can get 100, 000 Americans together to put in 250-500 USD a head with attorney's who agree that we the people have ground to sue, this case could be huge.

That's a potential 25-50 million in attorneys fees in the hypothetical coffers.

[markdunn]

Where is James Comey when you need him?

[phoenixrising]

Hey Trump Supporters! Everyone's going to join you now in your chants! BUILD A WALL...between Trump and his businesses! DRAIN THE SWAMP....of Trump! LOCK HIM impeachment for violating the Constitution! 😂😂😂

[shivindergrewal]

[hadassah]
