Trump presidential corruption begins.

Here's a point you seemed to miss - he isn't President yet.

I'm aware, that's why I didn't capitalise his "pres". As a civilian, he couldn't get it done. As president-elect the door swung wide.

Did you read you own OP's link, or did you just assume what it might have said, but didn't actually come close to saying? Read post #2 in this very thread, then verify it by reading your own posted link in the OP. Just a suggestion, mind you.

That has nothing to it. Most likely he used the information from out of his book on "the art of the deal" :sarcasticclap:

What, if he cuts deals and builds in Countries everywhere?

He has to fix the tax code so that he pays taxes or he's a hypocrite to Mrs. Clinton.

Donald Trump won the presidency not a seat in the Senate. Try again, but with less whinge please.

He said when the audit is done, he will release them. I have a feeling it is going to be longest IRS audit in history, and he'll never release his tax forms as a result.

Wow!!! Exciting! Trump is a man who knows how to get things done! I want him answering the phone at 3am!~

I hope they will know where to send the call--the White House or Trump Tower.
 
Well now that Trump is corrupt and the law and order president, he should lock himself up with Hillary.

Sure he did, he told us in the debate, has he said anything to the contrary?

He has to make it so he pays taxes.

Then you will have all this revenue where before you had none.

You might say, "Oh, he could never build his empire without tax break loopholes."

I would say, "It would be easier for him to build his empire again in a world where people were pulling their weight."

See, with both rich and poor we have the same problem, nobody wants to pull their weight.

What? Are you saying Donald Trump can't make the Senate do his bidding?

You can't change the tax code with a Seat in the Senate, Hillary Clinton already proved this.

When did Hillary do that? She never TRIED. That was the point of her claims being so dishonest. There are 74 bills in congress that are remotely connected to her. NONE of them are about fundamentally changing tax laws.

Go ahead and have at it.

What facts?

Are you talking about that "pres to pres call" the OP was talking about? There's nothing factual about that unless he's saying Obama called Macri.

Since that didn't happen, the OP...who is a self-avowed liberal...was spinning the real facts to mean something else.

Now Kobie...if you have different facts that support what the OP said, then perhaps you should help the guy out instead of attacking me, eh?
 
Unless Trump divests himself of his holdings, he will further the image of America of a banana republic, just one with more bananas. Trump will already be greeted with immense skepticism as it is, with no knowledge of, or experience in international affairs, and after running a low life, low intellect campaign. If he continues to juggle personal business affairs along with the presidency, his credibility will be pretty much zip. Not a good start to the next four years.

“Turning your businesses over to your children is what leaders of Banana Republics do. Americans expect and deserve better from the Trump Administration.”

So the corruption keeps on coming....

"MANILA — On Thanksgiving Day, a Philippine developer named Jose E. B. Antonio hosted a company anniversary bash at one of Manila’s poshest hotels. He had much to be thankful for.

In October, he had quietly been named a special envoy to the United States by the Philippine president, Rodrigo Duterte. Mr. Antonio was nearly finished building a $150 million tower in Manila’s financial district — a 57-story symbol of affluence and capitalism, which bluntly promotes itself with the slogan “Live Above the Rest.” And now his partner on the project, Donald J. Trump, had just been elected president of the United States. ..."
