It Is Okay If Donald Trump Does It

It is beginning to seem that someone is going to need to create a website to list all the things that are okay as long as Donald Trump does them. I came to this conclusion after hearing that Kelly anne Conway defended Donald Trump's continued involvement with the NBC TV show The Apprentice by saying President's should be allowed to do things in their spare time. My first thought, as well as the first thought of others, was the fact that Republicans lambasted President Obama just about every time he stepped on a golf course or basketball court. According to Republicans, President Obama was lazy for having hobbies. Now that Donald Trump is set to become President it is okay for Presidents to have down time and use that down time as they choose. So, here is a short list of things that are okay as long as they are done by Donald Trump. Please feel free to add you own ideas in your responses to this post.

1.) It is okay, and not at all corrupt, to place people in your cabinet who gave your campaign or your foundation millions of dollars.

2.) It is okay for your family members to run your business or your foundation while you are President of the United States.

3.) It is okay for you to have spare time. You are not lazy because you have spare time.

4.) It is okay for you to have hobbies and to engage in your hobbies during your spare time. Once again you are not lazy for having spare time or for having hobbies.

5.) It is okay for you to take $1 million from a company after you threatened to cancel their billion dollar contract to make the next Air Force One.

That is a very informative website. It is far more important than the website I suggested. It lays out how Donald Trump is appointing people who either he owes money or who donated money to his campaign.

It's okay to grab kitties

It's okay to have the taxpayer pay out millions of dollars to keep your wife in her penthouse.

It's okay to promote as a plus for someone want to live there that the secret service is protecting that same penthouse.

It's okay for your children to run your business and sit in on meetings at the whitehouse.

It's okay to knock a business to make the stocks fall so people lose money.

Facts just get in the way of things, and they certainly don't enable the ceaseless decrees made by the emperor. Deal in facts as little as possible.
