Title: DC and Maryland sue Trump over supposed corrupt business dealings
Post by: Monkeyleg on June 12, 2017, 11:05:06 AM
If this wasn't all such a drag on the functioning of the country, this non-stop anti-Trump circus would be amusing.

Honestly, if Trump one day said, "*expletive deleted*ck you, I've had enough of this *expletive deleted*it", I wouldn't blame him one bit.

This ties into what I was talking about in your media thread. While we saw state gov officials from conservative states going after Obama policies, how many did we see go against Obama himself? Nowhere near what we have seen with Trump with Fed, state, and local elected officials all going after him personally.

You mean, resign? Maybe that's the goal.

Probably.

It would serve them right if Trump just cut the apron strings and said, "Fine. No more federal money for your state. When you have a problem -- don't come to me looking for help."

I thought this was over the Russkies staying in Trump's hotels &/or resorts.   Gee, if they pay for the services, Trump is colluding .... I guess if he'd given the Russkies free room & board it would also be colluding?
What's a guy supposed to do?

Have the russkies pay YOUR SPOUSE a huge speaker's fee before you do something? (Something like, for example, approving russky purchase of 1/5 of the USA's uranium production . . . )

What you did there, I don't see it. Is that like a matter or something?

At this point, it makes no difference.

Read that the justice department's response to the lawsuit includes reference to the business practices of previous Presidents going back to George Washington, a farmer who sold products overseas.
