Mulvaney's admission puts a new spin on Executive time on Trump's calendar.

Mulvaney's admission puts a new spin on Executive time on Trump's calendar. He's running the Trump Organization from the White House & making decisions to benefit his company. Is there any reason to think Trump green lighting slaughtering Kurds wasn't related to Istanbul towers?

It's been pretty obvious that Trump has been making decisions based on his own business interests.

Trump is spending 4 to 5 hours a day, at least, running Trump, Inc. This entire presidency is one big con job.

And everyone, absolutely everyone, working in the west wing knows what is going on.

This is only a small part of what went wrong with electing this crook. All his belongings should have been put into a blind trust. The only way to know what his properties are, is if we have his tax records.
This must be mandatory for any candidate to the White House.

can future presidents now keep their businesses? can future presidents make a profit while in the white house? can future presidents not release their taxes? Can future presidents put their children with no experience in high positions with security clearances? If not, why not? How can anybody stop them in the future if trump gets away with it every day?

Trump has profited off Turkey for years, making as much as $17 million off Trump Towers Istanbul in the last 7 years
