White House'shopping Channel'

[kawanabe]

Trump has taken to touting his Daughters Frocks,direct from The Oval Office.

The business that has just dropped"Her line of Clothing"..Northstrom,could now face losses..after Trump 'rubbishes' them..and one of his 'creepy-looking'Sons urged America's Women to 'cut up' their Northstrom shopping cards!

This is disgraceful misuse of His Office...will there be no end to this mans 'Chutzpah'!

[ichkeria]

Depressing indeed.

[EDDIE51]

Do you have a link to this?

[237SJ]

I think it will take more than Trump's ranting to stop the 'ladies who lunch' shopping at Nordstrom

[kawanabe]

Sorry...The Business concerned is 'Nordstrom'

[agchristie]

Careful, that's labelless.

Judge!

[Hypognosis]

Abuse of the office of President, for personal gain is, apparently, an impeachable offence.

Looks like he's trying to get himself fired, as early as possible, so he can get back to his businesses and conjugal whatnots.

Bill Hicks had an amusing routine about all new presidents being shown a certain film clip on day one but I don't want to ruin the punchline.

Found the link and it is just as bad as it sounds

Trump has used the Official White House email service to condemn Nordstrom for dropping his daughters clothing lines.

Crazy man .

[237SJ]

As a businessman, I would have thought he would completely understand the ethos of dropping a range because sales are down.

[EDDIE51]

Business man? It has been pointed out several times that had Trump just put the $Billions he inherited from his father into a savings account, his net worth would be more than 3 times what it is now. He has bankrupted several businesses , particularly his Atlantic City Casino.

Have you got a 'proper' link to that bilge, EDDIE?

[237SJ]

He's still a businessman - certainly not a politician

[EDDIE51]

Talbot here is the link to the Atlantic City casino closure just 1 of 5 Trump casinos to go under !

Did I not read somewhere that, amazingly, a president is not subject to the same conflict of interest rules as his staff?
That presumably is the thinking behind 'draining the swamp': to make room for his own one of epic proportions

I wasn't referring to the casino

[-Talbot-]

You did, ich ... a bizarre situation.

Here is the bit about his net worth from business against just putting his inheritance in the bank
Friedell’s words come from her review of a new biography of Donald Trump, Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success by Michael D’Antonio. Here’s the full text relevant to this fact-check:

"Bloomberg puts Trump’s current net worth at $2.9 billion, Forbes at $4.1 billion. The National Journal has worked out that if Trump had just put his father’s money in a mutual fund that tracked the S&P 500 and spent his career finger-painting, he’d have $8 billion."

the $Billions he inherited from his father

Here is just one of the financial sources that all agree Trump would have been far better off if he had just put his inheritance into a trust fund rather than trying to run a business!
