Representatives of at least 22 foreign governments appear to have spent money at Trump Organization properties, an NBC News review has found, hinting at a significant foreign cash flow to the American president that critics say violates the U.S. Constitution.
The extent and amount of foreign spending at Trumps hotels, golf clubs and restaurants is not known, because the Trump Organization is a private company and declines to disclose that information.

(17,441 posts)what will happen to the Trump Organization financially when he is out of office? I suspect that the foreign governments' patronage will decrease drastically, golf club memberships will tank, plus the Trump brand is losing marketability daily. I guess he'll take all the money out he can and bankrupt it.
What will the grifter-in-chief do after that? Perhaps he could retire to North Korea to hang with his BFF Kim and write his memoirs?

(19,201 posts)He'll file for bankruptcy, same as always. Privatize the profits, socialize the losses. It's why wealthy people stay wealthy. Of course all of Trump's wealth was inherited, as is 35-45% of all wealth in the U.S.. As a businessman he pretty much sucks ass.

(9,426 posts)is the most lucrative scam he has ever pulled in his entire corrupt life. Everything is free, for his "kids" too. Vacations in the UK, spending taxpayer money. No wonder he is fighting to keep the "job". Fraud runs wild in the gop. Long past time that something is done about this. Putin sure knew what he was doing, "fixing" the voting machines, with help from McConnell and the rest of the clowns in the gop. They all helped Vlad destroy this country, for a few rubles. TRAITORS every last one.

if you count the Supreme Council of Klusterfukks, the planet where that entity on top of his head masquerading as hair comes from.

It's one giant con.
Boy, there are some stupid people in this country. He never should have been sworn in, and it shouldn't even be close in 2020 if people will wise up and get out and vote for the Dem.

(32,639 posts)It's all a con for him and his entire grifter family.
I believe he will be voted out next year, because we Dems will be smart enough to choose an excellent candidate. But not only that, a lot of people will vote AGAINST Chump next year even if they aren't for the Dem candidate. We need to get out the vote and ride the anti-Chump wave that has already started.

What is the shocker is that this was all publically know!
In fact the idiot acknowledged the truth on T.V. but voted for the dumb ass anyway. Like he was going to be Robbin' Hood for the everyone. Well, some got richer while the rest of got royally screwed.

(50,557 posts)If we want to nail Trump to the walk with this - and if we can firm this up to the point its actionable, not even the Trump-fellating Senate will be able to ignore it - we have got to have Trumps business records so we can prove hes selling influence. I know hes doing it, but you cant impeach, convict, criminally convict and sentence to be fed to man-eating sharks anyone unless you can PROVE criminality.
