Let's review the stories of the last two days. Trump's DC hotel is soliciting foreign diplomatic delegations to switch their business to the incoming President's new hotel. On Tuesday Trump took a break from transition work to meet with his Indian business partners about expanding the Trump Organization's business in India now that he's president. Trump included his adult children in the meeting - the ones who will run his 'blind trust'. The news didn't reach the American press until it was reporting in an Indian paper. Now we learn that Trump's Philippines business partner Jose E. B. Antonio has been named the Philippines new trade envoy to the United States.

This country is in for a long, ugly and raw next few years.

7. but a charitable foundation was "crooked."

[world wide wally]

9. Okay. One last time.

Trump does whatever Ryan and McConnell tell him to do politically and in exchange, he gets to use his position to conduct his personal business with no questions asked from the Republican Congress.
Is that too hard to understand?

[JudyM]

15. Ugh. Likely true.
