POTUS has legal authority to act as head of state.
again you'd have to show his decisions are based on a corruption to enrich, and not just a tangential association,
Crimes require a burden of proof
I diubt Rump is guilty of collusion.

Thats exactly what Mueller will take care of, now about the trust????????
He or she also currently has the right to own a business while in office as President. There is nothing illegal about what he is doing.
no. Muller isn't going to look at conflicts of interest as POTUS - not even a SP is that insane.
He was asking for bank records of Trump associates in the campaign..when you become POTUS you are given free reign to run the country as you see fit for the good o the country,,that raises any "crimes" to a much higher level/bar to prove

I agree w/ the OP.
I also think it's shameful that an American President has expressed no concern and taken no action regarding a foreign power clearly trying to meddle in a U.S. election.

they are desperate.. they can't get past TDS
what do you want? sanctions? that has been done..
How about " we are at war with Russia" (McCain) would that make you happy?
Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, will have no further involvement in managing the organization or her own clothing brand. Ivanka Trump said on her Facebook page that she would take time off to settle her family into their new home in Washington. The president-elect has named her husband, Jared Kushner, to a senior advisory role in the White House.
Since Trump sold all his stocks last year, the Trump trust will hold only business assets and liquid assets such as cash, Dillon said.
A financial disclosure document he filed in May also showed loans from lenders such as Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) and Ladder Capital (LADR.K). Trump will not have to file a new disclosure form until 2018.
Many other ethics experts, including the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, have urged Trump to completely divest or set up a blind trust for his assets. In a blind trust, the owner does now know what the holdings are or how the assets are managed. Trump’s oldest sons, Eric and Donald Jr., will be running his business, so the arrangement does not meet that standard.
Dillon said that was not a realistic possibility for a family-owned company and any sudden divestment would hurt Trump financially. Unlike liquid assets like stocks and investment funds, much of Trump’s wealth comes from office towers and other real estate that cannot be sold easily, as well as licensing deals that could be difficult to unwind.
Stripped of the Trump name, many of these assets would lose much of their value, Dillon said.
“President-elect Trump should not be expected to destroy the company he built,” she said.

The crimes were committed before he was elected.
Irrelevant.
He had the right to ask for an attorney.
One is seldom considered a suspect before an initial interview.
Smarten up.

Anatta, that's a cop out answer.
Russia 100% attempted to meddle w/ our election and influence the outcome. I don't have "specific action" in mind - but I want a President to express in a very public way that it's outrageous & unacceptable. What action should be taken should be something that he decides w/ Congress, but it's a big deal that should not be dismissed or ignored, as Trump has done.
The investigation headed by this Republican prosecutor is clearly getting the Fox new bubble angry. They are attacking the enterprise.
you'd have to show that. you can't just wish it was true.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/29/...nal-puzzle-can-the-president-be-indicted.html
But would the Constitution allow Mr. Mueller to indict Mr. Trump if he finds evidence of criminal conduct?
The prevailing view among most legal experts is no. They say the president is immune from prosecution so long as he is in office.
“The framers implicitly immunized a sitting president from ordinary criminal prosecution,” said Akhil Reed Amar, a law professor at Yale.
It isn't over until the fat lady sings, dumbass.

Still waiting for that Trust, you pathetic LIAR
Trump has acknowledged the IC leadships assessment is correct. (i have my doubts -but whatever)
Besides that ( as he said) "How many times can i re-ask Putin if he meddled"
He has a responsibility for diplomacy as well - look at the very little cooperation we get with Russia
but we do cooperate on terrorism.
He gets latitude on this too - he has to run foreign affairs
If this were true then no president could ever be impeached. Idiot.
do your own research.. I pulled alink that showed he sold his stocks etc..other then that I am disinterested in doing your homework
Maybe because he is a partisan hack who along with Strzok wrote an exoneration letter for Hillary before the investigation was even complete and changed the wording from "gross negligence" to "extreme carelessness" so as to avoid the exact wording of the statute.
Elaborate.
He didn't.

Lol. Regurgitating the issued talking point, are we? Heh heh heh
If there's no collusion, what is the justification for the investigation in the first place? What is there to obstruct?
