I have the right to know if he has conflicts of interest that could sway his decisions as POTUS, to the detriment of the US. You do too. Not sure why you seem willing to give him a pass when there are legitimate questions being asked about his ties to foreign individuals and entities.

Just so I understand: if Trump owed $100million to a Russian bank, and he effected policy that profited that bank, which subsequently changed the terms of the loan to benefit Trump, you are okay with that?

If Trump had a stake in some business venture, and ordered the Justice Department to drop any investigations of a certain type that happened to include that business venture, you are okay with that?

If Trump owned a hotel that was having labor issues, and he appointed members of the Labor Relations Board who sided with him on issues related to that hotel, you are okay with that?

Do you understand what "conflict of interest" means?

-i do think it's worth seeing what his financial entanglements with other countries look like. to me this is actually important, not just titillating, and has some real bearing on conflict of interest etc., especially given his apparent ignorance around things like blind trusts.


How little or not of what Trump paid in taxes is and is not important depending your view point. If he was a private citizen the interest would start/stop there.

But Trump is now the President of the United States, and sitting in an extraordinarily influential position (or one to be influenced!). This is a whole other kettle of fish - it's all the above that is important now. As an example it's alleged that the Deutsche Bank holds a sizable loan of Trumps. What if there is some political problem or issue with Germany? What if there are trade issues that could come up with Germany? What if the German economy and the Deutsche Bank, really start to go downhill? What then? Dealing with Donald Trump the private citizen/client is fairly straight forward. But if some of the previous mentioned scenarios arise and Trump is the President of the United States - how does that impact things?

Trump seems to prefer that we don't know anything - which if someone's a generally trustworthy person, I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt - but this is Donald Trump who we know lies frequently, and just makes up stuff almost as much!

I'm deflecting nothing. You are your type are fucking hypocrites. Clear enough? You sat and said shit while the Constitution and our country was being dragged down the toilet just suddenly your pussy hurts over meaningless topics. Man the fuck up and admit your being nothing more than an argumentative, hypocritical progressive hack and maybe you won't get so confused ever time some calls your ridiculous ass out.

Umm, maybe I didn't say anything during the Obama years had something to do with me not being on ST until 2013. For 2014 I was on a bike trip and for 2015 and part of 2016 I was in Thailand and the Philippines. Kind of hard to keep up on all the Constitutional violations when I wasn't even here.

But, carry on.

I agree with your sentiment, but you wouldn't get that information from his tax returns. Perhaps from his corporate annual report if it is done by auditors, but not his tax return.

Where did those $103,201,242 in negative income come from? Did Donald Trump personally write off that much, or was it based on his businesses?

Who the fuck cares about Maxine Waters or some bank, in a thread about Trump's potential conflicts of interest?

Is this "But what about..." thing going to go on forever?

It's getting really tiring to constantly hear these kind of responses. It doesn't matter what you write about Trump, guys like Rodred will find an example of something similar, even if remotely, that occurred in the last 100 years under a Democrat President, and ask if you were similarly outraged. If not, watch out for the expletives.

I started raising questions about potential conflicts of interest or hiding things that could impact foreign relations and instead of a reasonable discussion, it quickly devolved into nothing but name calling. It is pathetic.

So basically what your issue is, no individual who has worked in business may be allowed to run for office. Seems to about sum things up. Question, why is it now an issue with Trump when it wasn't an issue with our previous Presidents, with the exception of Obama who never held a real job in a his life. We're you not concerned about Hillary's conflicts of interest? There were many.

I'm completely amazed at the lack of intelligence coming from the left. We are 50 days or so into Trump's Presidency and the crazy continues.

More lies. Not the last 100 years but within the last year and including the last 10. That's not that long ago. Start being intellectually honest and maybe you wouldn't be getting called out so frequently.

What I find fascinating with so much of this Trump stuff, this is a good one ( the no-show of the tax returns), the whole Russian thing is another, and the many others - is the collective shoulder shrug from Trump supporters.
The Russians meddled in your election. Potentially impacting the outcome. The President may have financial dealings with other countries that may cloud/influence his decisions. This is all OK? Don't you at least want to get to the bottom of these issues and found out what has and what really is going on? Or are these just waved off and swept under the rug?
