Trump's Indonesian business partner says he attended inauguration as a 'partner of the Trump Org'

Source: CNN

Donald Trump's business partner in Indonesia says he attended the inauguration on invitation and as a business partner of the Trump organization.

Hary Tanoesoedibjo, who is partnering with the Trump organization on two luxury resorts in Indonesia, said in an interview with Tempo Magazine, "They invited me as a partner of the Trump Organization, not as a White House friend. I don't know whether I am the only Indonesian who was invited, but I didn't see any other over there."

Tanoesoedibjo confirmed that he was quoted correctly in a subsequent interview with CNN's KFile. Tanoesoedibjo's comments were first reported by Mother Jones.

Tanoesoedibjo's comments highlight the potential conflicts-of-interests between Trump's businesses, which are now overseen by his two sons Don Jr. and Eric, and the presidency. Trump resigned from his business empire before taking office, but legal experts told CNN that conflicts of interests still exist because Trump still retains an ownership stake in the business.

was merely epic incompetence? Now I'm thinking it was deliberate, but epically delusional. Not to mention illegal.
