On MSNBC Saturday, former Michael Bloomberg adviser Tim OBrien warned President Donald Trump and the GOP that if they continue to push conspiracy theories about former Vice President Joe Bidens son and his work for a Ukrainian energy company, Democrats will have a field day with the corruption and nepotism of Trumps children particularly in light of new reporting that Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner is selling his stake in a company that benefited from tax breaks he pushed for, and first daughter Ivanka Trumps use of her official position to get Chinese trademarks.
The Trump family are epic grifters, and this goes back generations, said OBrien. Fred Trump made his money by intersecting with both the federal governmet and state governments in New York. Donald Came up through New York, intersecting with local government and Atlantic City. Now they are in the White House and all of them are dipping their faces into the till. And if the Republicans really want to make an issue out of Hunter Biden, which is very low-hanging fruit that I dont think most Democratic voters care about anyway, there is going to be a scorched-earth response aimed at all of the Trump children that is unlike anything they have experienced in the media.

After a lifetime of watching mega-rich people be tight-ass with their money because hey, I guess that's one of the ways you get so rich, it's refreshing to see a billionaire acting like a normal person who just has a few extra decimal points on their net worth.

It'd be even better if some more filthy rich people join in.

(11,885 posts)To manufacture something against Bloomberg that'll hurt him in some way, like he's done to others before. He'll have Barr start an investigation then demands for him to turn over all information they can use to create something he's done to use .

(8,445 posts)I have a hunch that Bloomberg has the capability to damage all of the Trumps, along with that scumbag Barr, to send them all to prison.

(3,632 posts)I think Boomie has actual psyops people on his team. Trump thinks he's the genius of propaganda manipulation, but he's really just winging it. Bloomberg has the means to bring in big guns, and Trump has never faced anything like that before. I suspect Bloomie realizes he's getting old and will never find anything else important enough to spend his net worth on. This could be very entertaining.

(9,426 posts)own personal bank accounts. Mnuchin is REFUSING to release the expense accounts relating to their travel, and secret service protection costs. They fly worldwide, drumming up business and taxpayers foot the bills! Eric is leading a group to visit tRump (failing) golf courses in Ireland and Scotland. The cost to each one is close to $2,000 plus they have to stay at tRump properties. Jr. is taking a tour of India, charging businessmen $37,000 for the "opportunity" to have lunch with him and discuss business opportunities. Ivanka is getting trademarks EVERYWHERE. They really are professional grifters, just like daddy. Time to delve into all their funny business dealings.
