  1. No shite, Sherlock…and based on SCOTUS decision Trump would be immune from repercussions as president….majority of US voted for him…it’s democracy at work…but also speaks volumes about those people.

    Like Obama and Biden didn’t leave richer? Stop thevkoolaid and do some research. Media is big DNC machine.

  3. has.

    this was the issue all along .. not merely that it was Trump. he just made it about himself, like he does everything.

    The signals are there….We’re nearing the end of an empire. Markets are extremely rigged.

    Every single president in the history of this country has profited. This is nothing new.

  6. That’s what America needed, more public servants profiting from their office instead of serving the people.

    This will lead to checks and balances to prevent this from happening again and quickly reopen the *OBVIOUS* discussion about whether or not money = free speech (it isn’t)

    That is the wrong approach. It means they’ve exposed loopholes we should close. Not that future presidents should do the same thing.

  9. So because one president broke all the rules the response is to normalise it by removing the rules. That doesn’t sound like the best approach to me.

    Rather than legalising corruption wouldn’t it be better stamping it out.

    Can we just deal with the thing that’s currently happening rather than worrying that someone else might do it in the future? It’s weird that some people only think it’s bad if someone other than Trump might also do it at some point

    The silver lining here is that when Trump leaves office he (or more likely his children) will no doubt go bankrupt again anyway. They find a way to lose money with every card stacked in their favor.
