Why Donald Trump should not divest

a reply to: dragonridr

He actually hires his brother to take care of the business.

No, he didn't.
The farm and Jimmy's share of the warehouse business were placed in a blind trust.

Carter's blind trust, which totaled $784,300 in 1978 and $529,300 in 1979, consisted of his incorporated peanut farm and a 63 percent share of his family's peanut warehouse. The farm made him a millionaire in 1978 despite continuing losses from the warehouse business, which lost more than $300,000 in 1977 and $73,000 in 1978 under the management of Billy Carter, the president's brother.

I wouldn't make heads or tails of it.
I'm sure if they came out, someone qualified would decipher.

Why not ask his tax team?

Oh, I know, because they will tell the truth and not spin some BS about a deduction.

The IRS hasn't put him in jail, well neither did anyone have a problem with Timmy as Fed Head while owing back taxes.

No big deal then, right?

Chase your tail, his tax returns mean nothing.

Actually, they do. They specify his sources of income. All of them, and thus reveal how he could directly benefit from his influence as President. Directing HUD money toward Trump's holdings, for example. As pointed out by Warren. "Isolating" himself by turning control to his kids (they won't talk about it over dinner, I promise) is meaningless.

The hostile IRS has them and they haven't said anything.

To you? Me? Why would they?

Yeah, he ran and won the POTUS to make more money.

I can see that. Lol!

So what?!

Don't they all?!

HUD? Seriously?

Maybe if he plans to turn the upper east side into section 8 housing.

Wait!! OOOOOOOOOO, I see the problem, a "not in MY backyard" type of thing.

Where does Warren live? I lived on Beacon Hill before she did, I bet. PITA parking.

The IRS can't say anything. So there is that.

Maybe someone can leak them like last time.

Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm yet Trump shouldn't give up anything?

So should he keep all of his debts? He has hundreds of millions of dollars worth of debt all over the world. You think a president with that much debt is a good thing? Now, even if he did go the ethical route and get a blind trust does that exclude him from all of his debt? If so, then if he wants to be president he HAS to do this. You can't be the leader of America with that kind of insanely large debt! Having that much debt alone should have disqualified him.

And that's probably one main reason why he won't release his taxes.

No he didn't where did you get that BS from. Actually he left his brother Billy in charge of the family farm. What did happen though was his brother was a scum bag and stole money from the family business. This made people in the government to think Carter was running a slush fund because of the missing money. Turned out his brother was just pocketing money without reporting it.

Tried to cash in with Billy Beer.

Stuff was not that good.

Yeah.

And

He likes to get his own way.

He thinks as President he can do that.

Push people around.
