This Is Why Presidents Should Divest

October 7, 2019 at 8:28 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

After the White House announced late last night the U.S. would be essentially approving a Turkish incursion into Syria — contrary to what had been long-standing policy — Ryan Lizza dug up a 2012 tweet from Ivanka Trump celebrating the launch of Trump Towers Istanbul.

Said Lizza: “This is why presidents divest. It is crazy that a president is making national security decisions like the one tonight when he has lucrative business relationships at stake in the country that will benefit.”
