    This guy ain't draining any swamp, he is swamp;
    "Leave it to President Trump to take influence peddling to a whole new level in Washington. Never before has the money flowed into a trust that directly benefits the president."

    "Lobbyists, corporations, foreign investors or anyone else looking to curry favor with Trump can go the direct route. They can join one of Trump’s luxury golf clubs where he dines, golfs and holds court on many weekends. Or purchase a condo, penthouse or mansion from the Trump Organization, or make use of the Trump International Hotel just down the street from the White House.

    "Least five of those Trump club members have been given "senior roles in his administration," Since the president clinched the GOP nomination, 70% of the buyers of Trump properties have been secretive shell companies, known as LLCs, which allow buyers to obscure their identities."

    "Americans are paying the salaries of 10 Justice Department lawyers and paralegals "to work on lawsuits related to President Trump's private businesses," according to information obtained by USA TODAY under the Freedom of Information Act. The lawyers' salaries range from $133,000 to $185,000 a year."

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...tes/676193001/

    "Trump and his family could save more than $1 billion under House tax bill"

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/fir...-house-n821491

    Along with honesty, it appears integrity and ethics aren't big in the Trump world, can't think of any past President who fleeced America right after they elected him

    Although doubtful, this Administration still better start saying Novenas that the Democrats don't win the House of Representatives in 2018

    And when you are "the swamp" like tRUmp is, you must surround yourself with other swamp so you can always point to the other guy ;).

    Maybe he will keel over on the golf course so that we will not have to hear about his sorry a$$ self ever again. The problem is that the very systemic problems within a pay to play corrupt government, a dumbed down electorate and a media that gave him way too much free coverage all put him where he is and they aren't going away unless they are addressed and aggressively dealt with.

    Dumb voters, yea, like the ones who fell for an ad that literally gave people the message that if you for for a Republican then a gang of White men will run over your "Brown" children.

    Obviously.

    Trump is a CLUELESS UNPREPARED IMBECILE.

    In way over his head, and totally UNWORTHY of the Office of POTUS.

    A National (and WORLDWIDE) DISGRACE.

    Trump? :roflol: What a MORON. :roflol:

    I would not say he was a "Imbecile" nor a "moran," he knows exactly what he is doing, which makes it even worse

    In a few years Democrats will be in power again and face conservative opposition, but "You supported Donald Trump" will be the be-all end-all retort for Democrats that can be used to shut down any kind of criticism from conservatives, whether it's sexual misconduct, disrespecting foreign leaders, bowing to foreign leaders, botched military operations, shady dealings, profiting from tax payers, taking too many vacations, etc.

    Interesting thought, but I don't think Democrats will be back in power in a few years, not till at least after 2020, statistically it makes it very very difficult, problem is the damage this Administration can do in the meantime, plus the millions if not billions the Trump family is going to walk away with, not like anybody can do anything about it

    Meanwhile while frantic leftists type in all caps all over the country our country is doing better and better on all meaningful issues economicaly and confidence is high for further prosperity and peace world wide. I say that because where America sticks its nose into only woe follows. Less of that coming the next 7 years.

    What's the difference between the Russians posting an anti Clinton ad on Facebook and the posters on this board (Russians?) posting anti Trump threads seemingly hourly? Remember all the anti Trump threads we saw before the election? Where are those folks now that the election is over, Moscow?

    They can do something about but they won't. The POS was in dereliction of the oath of office and The Constitution the moment he repeated the words, not to mention the small issue of him and most of his swamp of an administration being traitors.

    The "country is doing better and better on all meaningful issues economicaly and confidence is high for furhter prosperity" because of the last Administration, this President inherited it, his only accomplishment is not screwing it up, you didn't really think economic indicators all were reset last January did you?

    And the "world peace" bit is a stretch especially considering now we got a President playing brinkmanship semantically with an unpredictable nuclear nation

    Facebook is like talk radio, one way communication, here you can challenge or question something someone else posts, if it is a troll they are quickly exposed

    It's time for the nation to be divided and I for one am tired of paying the higher taxes of a blue state to carry the knuckle dragging red states not to mention their azz-backwards lack of green polices and bible thumping ignorance.

    Nah, a divided nation doesn't get anything resolved, the country is based upon compromise, and I also live in a blue state

    What has to end is taking cable infotainment seriously, it shares a lot of responsibility in dividing the Nation and putting us in the position we are today, what is needed is some 21st Century version of a Fairness Doctrine

    Excellent post that says it all. We have elected a con man who is personally bilking the American people, and yes, his base.

    sure he is, last I checked, the swamp creatures in both parties are turning on each other, including on their own (reps on Moore, libs on Franken and the Clintons), the fake mainstream media's biases, lies, dishonesty have been exposed, the Hollywood elites have been outed as misogynists at best and rapists/sex predators at worst. It's working, dude, rejoice :D
