Besides being blatantly illegal, it is typical of Trump... Wait. That is too. Trump has spent 1/3 of his nascent presidency promoting and enriching his businesses - as he did during his campaign. I predict that his "infrastructure plan" will be heavily skewed toward enhancing his real estate holdings.

He never really wanted to "be" President of the United States, he just viewed it as an expansion of his brand. A hostile takeover/acquisition. He doesn't really run his businesses either. He's just a "figurehead" there, too, and others have run them. His family and staff are glad to have him "out from over" so he won't screw that up, too.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
