That ship sailed a long time ago. In his first administration his son-in-law who was in the administration received a billion dollars from Qatar. His businesses continued to do work with foreign governments. He is currently selling access to him and other senior officials. Openly.No one who...

That technically isn't the way it works. If the plane is donated to the Presidential libary, it is available for Trump's use the day after he leaves office. You don't need to actually have the whole library built first -- the entity is established far before the actual physical building is...

Also, something else to keep in mind. If it becomes a part of the Presidential Library, Trump can still use it for his travel. It's basically a very thinly disguised personal gift from a country to Trump. I'm sure they're doing it out of the goodness of their heart.

But let's go on about Hunter Biden getting money in 2018 after his father was out of office.

Keep in mind that Kushner's company got a billion dollar bailout from Qatar during the first Trump presidency. While Kushner was also working in the White House.

You really don't see a problem with this?Will the next President of the United States be able to use this? Will anyone other than Trump be able to use this? If not, then this is definitely a very expensive gift from a foreign government to a man who is also doing personal business with that...

Karl Popper wrote about the paradox of tolerance. Unlimited tolerance leads to the total disappearance of all tolerance, because if you tolerate the intolerant, the intolerant crowds out and crushes everyone else.

Something, something Russia hoax...

I think this is what they call a rhetorical question.

It's a bit ridiculous... backpacking culture in Europe and Australia is really prevalent among kids graduating high school and college. After college I took a summer off to hitch hike around the middle east, and I met a ton of Europeans and Australians who were doing it for a year or more.

Me too... this is the problem with so much uncertainty. I think if you have a long horizon (more than 10 years), keeping them in a diversified stock portfolio is probably your best bet.

The problem is if the dollar gets devalued and inflation ramps up, you do not want to be holding a lot of cash.

Maybe depress assets and have his friends scoop them up on the cheap, and then stop doing the most crazy stuff, and let the market return to normal? IDK, just spit balling here. I always assume some sort of grift with Trump... but he could just be stupid.

I'm starting to think i shouldn't have gotten back in the market... I think it's going to get bad. I'm not pulling out again, I saved myself a 20% shave, so I'll be happy with that... but I think there's a really good chance for another 20-30% drop and then a very long, slow recovery.Unless...

Not getting nearly enough attention. There's just so much crap going on it's hard to focus, but this is just as ridiculous and lawless as so many other things.
