Trump’s tangled businesses pose potential for conflicts

An old video clip of Donald Trump and Billy Bush, a reporter from Access Hollywood, talking to one another, using vulgar language and talking about sexually assaulting Woman made me step back and truly look at the man that I wanted to be my president. Donald Trump ran the nastiest, dirtiest, meanest, least factually honest campaign for president in the history of our country.

For instance, MSNBC’s Richard Engel reported last week that generals have been studying the U.S. Constitution to determine if they would be required to follow what they might consider an “immoral and illegal order”, like rounding people up and deporting them. They could also be employed by another branch of government that Trump could inadvertently influence, or hired under “unforeseen events or circumstances” The Washington Post reports.

At the time, Christie was talking about purging Obama appointees who had been converted to civil servants. But we know from past experience that the party does not last forever.

In the meantime, Trump and Vice President-elect Mike PenceMike (Michael) Richard PencePence booed going to see “Hamilton” Trump loses energy transition head over lobbying restrictions Dem takes aim at Trump with bill to prevent conflicts of interest MORE will have to release annual financial disclosures throughout their terms. No he’s not going to kick you out. “Of course, that’s why it is so critical, because once you have a rule on the books, it’s harder to undo”.

It will take a lot more than a brief unity speech to assuage people’s fears about a Trump presidency. What are your thoughts on that whole dynamic?

Following his meeting with Trump, Hensarling said, “This was a wonderful conversation, and I stand ready to help the president in any capacity possible”. But in reality, media is always telling one side of the story.

Obama also defended the political skill of House Minority Leader Pelosi, but did not weigh in on the challenge to her leadership position in Congress. OK, let’s chalk this up to ignorance and set some early tests to determine how serious he really is about draining that swamp. When Obama was elected the first time, those of us on the right were disappointed but didn’t riot and attack people and property.

When the two come together, Lipton says, it becomes a problem.

During a forum attended by around 1,000 students at the Pontifical Catholic University of Lima, Obama admitted, however, that he anticipates tensions, particularly on trade matters, because of the proposals Trump made during his electoral campaign. He’s not against the Muslim faith. Because they hijack my Muslim faith and created nothing but enemies to the Muslim faith by their radical views. The millions of Americans who voted for you – and the millions who didn’t – will all be watching you. He spoke the truth.

President-elect Trump is right: The American people want change. On Tuesday night, Trump slipped past reporters to try to escape for a family dinner at a Manhattan steakhouse – perhaps in pursuit of a sense of normalcy – a breach of precedent and protocol for the incoming leader of the free world whose whereabouts are supposed to be closely tracked. But he understands that the USA needs trade, and he himself said: “I am not an isolationist”. One African-American colleague testified that Sessions referred to him as “boy”. He is the president. When we stand together and don’t let demagogues divide us up by race, gender or national origin, there is nothing we can not accomplish.
