Youre list of gripes here is NEARLY as long as Hillary's. Both the Constitution and the SANE American people are NOT demanding that business people BLOW UP their life's work to serve in Govt. It's a demand YOURE making because the guy owns your head..
If it was Elon Musk or Bezos --- NO ONE would be demanding he "divest". Only that he appoints appropriate management and doesn't ACTIVELY participate in day to day operations..
Let me know when Musk or Bezos becomes President of the United States.
I will hold them to the SAME STANDARD
Not if they are your candidate with a (D) after their names. I'd be absolutely FLOORED if you did that.
Name one Democrat who was elected President who refused to either divest his assets or place his assets in a blind trust.
Even George W Bush, who lead the most corrupt administration in my lifetime prior to this this one, divested himself of his beloved Texas Rangers baseball team. A man hath no greater love for his country that he would sell his baseball team for his country. If I owned the Blue Jays, they’d have to pry them from my cold dead hands before I’d sell them.
Name one candidate for President from either party who refused to make his tax returns public.
Name one President from either party who used the office of the Presidency to enrich himself and his family while he was in office.
Did you take a stupid pill today, DLady? George W. Bush sold the Rangers two years before he became President of the United States and it had nothing to do with having to "divest" himself of his assets!
