Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the spine of the Senate.
Senate Democrats will introduce legislation in January seeking to force
the disclosure and divestment of any of President-elect Donald Trump’s
business interests before he is sworn into office.
…
I strongly doubt that HO has enough liquid assets to pay off all his hundreds of mortgages.at one time and before January 20th. The man has at least 500 inter woven LLC’s that he controls. And these LLC’s own his various properties and planes and his fancy Scottish helicopter.
This is probably why Trump needed the Presidency- to drain foreign and domestic money swamps of the means to pay off his debts to make his phantom 10 billion in assets an actual treasure trove.
And, of course, in a show of renewed bi-partisanship, the Republican majority will join hands across the aisle to pass the bill by acclamation.
Oh, well, it will be nice to see Republicans forced into voting to protect corruption.
I’m not sure I’m interested in seeing Trump be forced to divest. The incoming administration is going to be horrible, toxic, and fatal to a lot of people.
Any attempts to minimize this might make it possible for some such as Trump to become President again.
While it’s going to hurt, a full-on, completely unhinged, unregulated, unwatched, and unrestricted Trump might finally get the attention of Republican voters and persuade them not to vote that way again.
So he is attempting to escape his own family’s near 100 year Ponzi scheme?
Though that would force him to show how much he’s actually worth, which would be a huge blow to his ego as he’d have to admit he’s not anywhere near as rich as he wishes he was.
I bet he can’t. My guess is at the very least he is the personal guarantor of several large loans and therefore can’t be removed from the equation without breaching the contracts involved.
