LOL.

That doesn't prove it was debunked. Of course Argentina would deny they granted Trump special favors.

But that article was interesting for something else: Ivanka sat in on the meeting.. again.

Also, as a special bonus, for an additional $40,000, you can get special insider access at the 'Donald Trump Drain-the-Swamp' convention in beautiful Las Vegas (lodging charges at Trump Casino Las Vegas billed separately) ...."

I'm betting he'll double his net worth during his first year in office by greasing all the business deals.


Well, the Clintons left the White House broke and today they are worth tens of millions of dollars - or is it hundreds of millions - so they have done well influence peddling.

How did they influence peddle *after* they left office?

Trump is peddling his influence even before he has taken office. There'll be a heck a lot more during and after. He can reap the profits after he leaves, but per Trump, his advisers and cabinet members can't for at least five years. What's good for them is obviously not good for him. Wow, you guys are blind.


The Clinton Foundation received tens of millions of dollars after Hillary became SoS from various entities. I understand there are reports that contributions to the CF have almost dried up since she lost the election. I wonder why ........


So your logic being Hillary was corrupt and made money, so Trump is excused and it's his turn to be corrupt. you are happy even when he screws you and rest of America. You see what's wrong with America? We condone corruption as long as our party leader does it. That's a slippery slope to banana republic. Putin is waiting to welcome us into the banana republic club.

Are you an idiot? Clinton is not the one who is POTUS. So are you fine with Trump corruption? As long as your guy is corrupt it is acceptable, right? You are not even getting any share of it? Are you? Heck, screw your sorry life, right? Its all about fucking the dems. As long as the dems are fucked you don't care if you are fucked even more. Welcome to trumpland.


You moron ..... the Clinton Foundation received tens of millions in contributions because Hillary was SoS.

The people giving the money were not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. Hillary did not get paid $250K for a 45 min speech because she had any particularly profound thoughts to impart.

I did not vote for Trump but to get on your high horse about Trump's ethics when we had Hillary as our nominee with her dubious ethics is a joke.


Dead wrong here. The Foundation received millions in contributions BEFORE HRC was SOS. Those donations did not come in because she was SOS. Those donations were made because mostly of Bill. No one expected HRC to become SOS. The Foundation continued to received donations later, of course, but not generally from new donors. As for speeches, many former politicians have been paid huge sums for speeches, BUT NOT while in office. A big difference. It started with Reagan who went overseas for paid speeches after he left office. Bill and W were paid for speeches, as Rudy, Newt, etc were paid for speeches. Many former Democratic politicians also have given paid speeches. Nothing new here. Former Presidents and other high profile politicians get paid more than other former politicians, obviously. Newt and Rudy have been doing the speech circuit for over decade. Newt, who has not had a real job for decades, has been living off of these speeches.

What Trump is doing is fundamentally different. Corporations and foreign countries will frequent his hotels, etc, while Trump IS President, as a means to curry favor with Trump. This has already happened with Trump Hotel in DC. Whether that simultanous business activity affects the decisions of the Trump Admin is a different question, but the appearance of a conflict is there without question. If you do not think lobbyists will not be hanging out at the Trump Hotel in DC or his NJ or FL properties, then you must live elsewhere. In addition, as in Argentina, the Trump Org will get favorable treatment in multiple foreign countries, some of whom are not particularly friendly or open and democratic. So, Trump will benefit financially while President from the increased business activity and the favorable treatment accorded the Trump Org (in which Donald owns 100%) solely due to Trump's being President.

Trump has closed deals in Argentina, Phillippines, Georgia and Turkey since be became President-Elect. He has made more than 200 Million dollars since the election, solely because of his new position.

Donald is quite possibly experiencing dementia, on top of existing mental illness. She or someone needs to babysit him. There's really no other explanation.

That said, if you didn't object to the Clinton's money making through political connections, including while Hillary was SoS, just as objectionable then you are partisan hypocrites.


Oh FFS, stop with the false equivalency. The war on facts and the infinite bounds of Trump supporter hypocrisy on exhibit here, Ladies and Gentlemen. Where everything - everything! - comes back to, well the Clintons were just as bad. They weren't but even if they were, why is that okay with you?!?!

1) I can't stand the "I didn't vote for Trump but..." and the "I'm a Democrat but..." trolls.

2) Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have nothing in common. If you can't figure that out, you aren't that bright or your deliberately dense and gaslighting. Either way, lame.
