Trump profited from Syrian missile strike.

I thought he did put his stocks in a blind trust.

Anyway, if what he did is illegal, bring charges against him.

I swear he could have captured OBL or killed Hitler and hysterical liberals would find something to whine about. If he didn't conduct strikes, you would have whined he is impotent and obeying Russia. He conducts strikes (which ruins your dumbass Russia collusion theory) and he is still impotent.

LOL

it doesnt matter if its in a blind trust or not. Just because of the size and scope of the Trump corporation everything could be linked back to it. At that level almost everything is connected. If Bill Gates were to be president every decision he made would have some impact on microsoft.

What are you talking about? I thought Obama made a tough decision that turned out to be the correct one.

Seems you disagree with me.

Stupid ass hack.

I have to look at what he did..
"Blind trust" is obviously not going to work other then for stock holding -real estate needs managing
and no i'm not that concerned.

He's donating his POTUS salary -that doesn't sound like greed is an operative for him

No you fucking idiot.
His salary is 400K
The licensing fees China recently approved for him are worth millions per year. In one country. Idiot.
 
I own shares of Raytheon too.

So I have to recuse myself from this discussion.

Liberals are so stupid.

No, it's quite simple. It's just that libtards take it to ridiculous extremes, like you just did.

And like Al Franken did, to hilarious results.

http://freebeacon.com/politics/al-franken-criticizes-tom-price-holding-tobacco-stocks-he-owns-too/

Sen. Johnny Isakson (R., Ga.) came to the defense of Donald Trump's nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services, Rep. Tom Price (R., Ga.), during his Wednesday confirmation hearing after Sen. Al Franken (D., Minn.) criticized Price for owning stock in tobacco companies that he also owns.

Franken informed Price during the Wednesday hearing that smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States, which led Price to note that he lost his father, a lifelong smoker, to emphysema.

Franken continued with his questioning by asking Price why he would choose to hold stock in tobacco companies knowing the health risks that come from smoking.

"You personally benefited from tobacco sales," Franken said to Price. "How do you square reaping personal financial gain from the sale of an addictive product that kills millions of Americans every decade?"

Price defended himself from Franken's accusations, noting that his financial holdings are mostly organized through mutual funds which contain a variety of stocks from across a spectrum of industries. Price then suggested that Franken most likely holds stock in a tobacco company through pension funds or mutual funds.

"I find it very hard to believe that you did not know you had tobacco stocks. I find it a little hard to believe in the questions of your stock portfolio that you did not know things," Franken said, interrupting Price's answer.

Later in the hearing, Isakson used his time for questioning to inform Franken that he owned stocks in tobacco-related companies.

"Any of us could make the mistakes that are being alleged," Isakson said. "I'm sure Sen. Franken had no idea that he owned part of Philip Morris when he made the statement he made about tobacco companies."

Isakson referenced Franken's own financial disclosure, which shows that the Minnesota Democrat has a Wisdom Tree equity fund as part of his investment portfolio. This fund includes holdings in Philip Morris, the same tobacco company that Franken criticized Price for owning stock in.

Isakson explained that because most members of Congress invest in mutual funds through financial advisers, they might not know what specific industries they hold investments in.

And you and your brethren assholes still couldn't find a good word to say about him or what he did.

Plus, he didn't even own stock in a defense contractor corporation that went up and made a ton of money for him as a result of it.

Stupid ass hack.

No, because you are nobody. A complete and total zero in the grand scheme of things.

Nothing you do or own makes one iota of difference to anything or anyone.

So, as annoying and stupid as you are, you can feel free to remain in the discussion and continue to make your typically idiotic simpleton comments.

Your piddly little two or three shares of stock have no bearing.

All stockholders are not in the position to launch military strikes using the equipment produced by the companies who issue this stock either.

Get it?

This guy is just blatantly and shamelessly fucking America in the ass and smiling in our faces while he does it because he knows his supporters are such mindless sheep he can get away with anything and they'll never hold him accountable.

He knows the worst thing that can happen is he might have to resign.

BFD.

He takes the billions he scammed by being President, buys a private island somewhere and retires in luxury as an actual billionaire as opposed to a paper one.

So the argument you and Christifan have made is he started a war so that a stock he owns increases in value 1.5%.

This is true defeangement syndrome. I guess that is why sites like bi-partisan report, rawstory etc exist because folks will eat up anything.

Wow, what a stretch, Donald Trump probably has stocks in every U.S. corporation capable of building Tomahawks including General Dynamics and McDonald Douglas (And one other I can't think of) that were past producers of the missiles. He probaly has stock in every company that has any major military contract so any kind of military action, warfare, or humanitarian operation will benefit Trump.

Clutching at straws for relevance in the age of news-less reporting.

He "probably" .....

STFU

It's a stretch in this case, but it is important as a principle. We shouldn't have to be worrying about self dealing of our public servants. He should have divested.

I don't disagree at all about the very real concerns of public employees and their economic conflicts of interest, especially Trump. Arguments like this make people roll their eyes and thus pay less attention to real conflicts.
