Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 2h2 hours ago
In light of @kurteichenwald's report on the Trump Organization's dangerous ties, here are 20 questions that Trump needs to answernow.
1. Will you sever ties with your company linked to foreign leaders, questionable organizations, and criminals if you become president?
2. How will you handle non-cancelable contractual obligations with parties whose interests conflict with those of the United States?
3. While refusing to release your tax returns, how will you confirm that you do not have dangerous financial ties to bad actors abroad?
4. If you were willing to work with Qaddafia known terrorist and dictatoris there anyone you aren't willing to make a deal with? Who?
5. How can you be tough on Iran, given your business partnership with someone connected to Iranian money laundering?
6. Given that you've already questioned our commitments to NATO allies, what is your answer to this?
7. To what extent would your foreign policy be dictated by potential financial benefits for your business partners?
8. Will you disclose the nature of your personal and business relationships with all of the Russian oligarchs you are close to?
9. Have you or your campaign discussed U.S.-Russian relations with the Russian billionaires with whom you've done business?
10. How did the Russian mob boss who ran a criminal organization out of Trump Tower get a VIP pass to your Miss Universe pageant in Moscow?
11. With business ties to politically-connected Indian developers, how can you conduct foreign policy that puts the U.S. above your profits?
12. How can we be sure you'd be willing to be tough on any nation if necessary, if it would put your interests and profits at risk?
13. How can we know you won't (again) impulsively damage relationships with crucial allies to preserve your own ego?Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Dopey Prince @Alwaleed_Talal wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddys money. Cant do it when I get elected. #Trump2016
14. We know you engaged extensively in pay-to-play here at home. Have you bribed foreign officials or other parties abroad?
15. To what extent are you and your family currently contractually tied to payments from foreign business partners, or governments?
16. You've mentioned ~120 foreign deals, including in countries with national security implications. Where and with whom are you working?
17. Will your children disclose all of the foreign trips and business deals they've undertaken during the campaign, and with whom they met?
18. We'll let @kurteichenwald ask this one:
19. In sum, how will Trump guarantee that if forced to choose between America's security and his own bank account, he won't pick the latter?
20. It's pretty clear: Trump's spent his life unscrupulously looking out for his own wallet above all. Why would that change as president?

You seem to have a problem with investigating. Waiting till the printed media steers you in the right direction. And hopefully Hillary's campaign will help you get off your fat asses and ask a few of these questions. But doing that you may have to learn to read.
