Trump’s Sons Behind Nonprofit Selling Access To President-Elect Trump

a reply to: RomeByFire

I made such a post. I think before we can call this one we need to find out more about the nature of these supposed charities...

a reply to: loam

Wow those are crazy numbers. So are these supposed donation going to pay the party bill then? Is this a slick move to save taxpayers loot, or is it a looting?

I say F these extravagant $100M+ parties. If Dc gets a party like that, then everyone else at least ought to get a coupon for a free 40 oz.!

a reply to: IgnoranceIsntBlisss

Very wealthy people are buying time with the pres. If this were Obama, obviously not hunting and fishing, window shopping for a weekend I would say the same thing and make a thread about it as well.

But of course, we need to see if these secret charitable donors are anything to get my little dander up about.

If a democrat did the same thing, he would be accused of "pay to play"....

Of course Donald get's a pass and let's wait until he's in office 100 days.

And nobody see a problem with this BS nepotism?

Done at every inauguration in recent memory. Inaugurations aren't free:

$1 million for VIP treatment at Barack Obama's inauguration

President Obama's inauguration planners offering special VIP access to donors willing to pay up to $1 million

In 2008:

Obama’s Inauguration Fund-Raising Tops $24 Million

What Recession? The $170 Million Inauguration

But I thought Trump was "anti-establishment?"

So far he's following right in line with the status quo. I'm not surprised.

Or is it only a bad thing if Obama or a Democrat does it?

Nafta- Mexico want to talk----may very well play into the wall being built
Nafta- Canada wants to talk
Carrier-jobs saved
IBM-25,000 job coming
No lobbying jobs after working for his admin---that is huge
he calls the other politicians out, and it is vicious and real
countries around the world want to work with the Trump admin
Ford is will to talk to Trump admin about jobs

And Trump doesn't dither.

That is off the top of my head. I don't like the $ in politics, but we are adults and realize it is there, lets see if Trump lets it effect his decisions.

Sorry, hunting and fishing are not a public events.

This is $ for direct access to the most powerful man in the planet. Make no mistake I am not saying this is going to sway the Trumpinator, but it smells bad to me at least.

HEre is the thing though. just because you bought access dont mean you gonna get anything for it. Unless he passes laws or is insider trading this isnt illegal.

Of course let's give Trump the benefit if actually holding office before we doom him.

And I will keep both eyes on him, so far I am cautiously OK with his moves.

The rules of order are different for different people.

Democrats are not allowed "pay to play"...

However, they are allowed "to skip jail for mishandling classified emails"..

Trump is allowed "pay to play"...

But he wont be allowed to "skip justice for mishandling classified info."

He was warned by "senior Bush" who made a "cut throat sign" at him that should he "slip up" in office, they'll get him for it.

Source please.

I see...Trump's already messin with the CIA and that just might make him sick soon. They play for keeps and take no prisoners. Yes, he was warned but his ego, stupidity and twitterbitch attitude, will eventually spell his demise; it's very dangerous to believe your own BS.

Not to objective. That aside, do you have a source for the warning?

Its in trumps interest to disband the CIA and start a new agency.
