Discussion: Trump Cancels Press Conference To Address Conflict-Of-Interest Issues

1 Like

Conflicts of interest, tax returns, etc. kicking the can down his yellow brick road. I’m shocked. When will his tweets appear to distract the media? 10, 9, 8…

Someone must have given him a better offer to do something else

If he gave up his position as producer of Apperntice or his golf game or fooling around with Ivanka he might have time to address this.

Unnamed Trump transition team officials told Bloomberg the press conference, originally scheduled for Thursday, was being nixed because Trump needed more time due to the attention he has had to give to filling his cabinet.

His lack of attention to filling his cabinet?

The rats are scurrying.

Is this so he can spend more time with his family?

Dear Electors, Donald Trump will NOT give you this vital information before you vote. (add it to no tax returns, oh yes sure, biz blind trust, kids will run it, now want kids on my administration) Oh, and last time he held a press conference, he invited Russia to hack America, to hack Clinton.

Or skipping intelligence briefings. Because he’s already smart.

No surprise…this way the electoral college voters won’t be able to point to anything as a specific issue to worry about, just his basic assurances that there won’t be any conflicts. Then, on Jan 21st, Trump can write an executive order declaring that the president can remain involved in any business he owns a share in when he takes office, so he can “legally” continue how he pleases. The Bush administration lawyers came up with reasons to ignore the Geneva Conventions on torture, this is child’s play in comparison.

Let’s make sure the Electoral College has met and voted and then I’ll tell you how it’s really not necessary for me to divest anything. Those laws are for mere mortals of questionable character. As I’m not a professional politician, they don’t apply to me.

The over under on press conferences for the next four years is zero.

Putin hasn’t decided yet how he wants his puppet to address this. Putting Trump’s assets (collateral for all of Trump’s Russian bank debt) into the hands of a receivership would take them out of Russia’s hands. This will never do.

Coward.

yep.

He’s going to put the conflict materials together with the tax returns to save money on binders.

But seriously, Red America, how many times is the Bully-in-Chief going to push your face on the ground and make you eat dirt while he laughs at you? How many times does that have to happen before you get it through your incredibly thick skulls you made a pretty crappy choice?
