    Default Trump and associates have financial stake in potential coronavirus drug

    According to a new report from The New York Times, the reason Trump could be so enthusiastic about hydroxychloroquine is because he and his associates would stand to profit from it.

    According to the report, Trump has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, a brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine. As of last year, Trump's three family trusts each had investments in a mutual fund whose largest holding was in Sanofi. Sanofi's largest shareholders include Fisher Asset Management, an investment company run by Trump donor Ken Fisher, and Invesco, a fund previously run by Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross.

    Well, there is one other possible explanation why Trump's press briefings are starting to feel like a hydroxychloroquine infomercial. Follow the money.

    And Chirag Patel, co-founder of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, a generic drugmaker that is preparing to manufacture hydroxychloroquine pills, is a member of Trump National Golf Course Bedminster in New Jersey and an occasional golfing buddy of Trump's, according to the report.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    You have the audacity to call anyone else stupid you gullible freak of nature. Blind Trust your dumb ass! As if...OMFG!

    Trump’s ‘blind trust’ is neither blind nor trustworthy
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/
    The Trust
    Trump is putting his assets into a trust, but not a blind one. Under the trust agreement, Trump is turning over management of the company to his adult sons, Don Jr. and Eric, and a longtime Trump executive, Allen Weisselberg.

    Trump’s lawyer who worked on the plan, Sheri Dillon with the firm Morgan Lewis, did not specify who the trust’s beneficiary is, or whether Trump still technically owns the assets in the trust, or whether he can retake the holdings when he leaves office. But it’s clear that Trump is maintaining a financial interest in the Trump Organization, which means he could still enrich himself through official actions that benefit the company.

    “This is not a blind trust — it’s not even close,” Shaub said. “The only thing it has in common with a blind trust is the label ‘trust.’”

    A blind trust does not preclude a president from increasing the value of the blind trust assets.

    It's not a blind trust. And a criminal enterprise does not abide by rules and regulations. Just how gullible are you groansy?

    Indeed.

    I read that his wealth has decreased by 1 billion dollars even before this Coronavirus.
