Trump tweet about Scottish golf course an 'invitation to graft'

A tweet in which Donald Trump extolled the virtues of his golf course near Aberdeen was “shameless, corrupt and repugnant”, a leading US ethics expert said.
The president sent the tweet in the early hours of Saturday. He later went on to deliver a rambling, controversial and sometimes obscene speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, near Washington.

“Very proud of perhaps the greatest golf course anywhere in the world,” Trump wrote, embedding a Trump Organization tweet in praise of Trump International Scotland, the Aberdeenshire course he opened in 2012. “Also, furthers UK relationship!”

How is this ok ? How can you use your office to promote your own business interests ? Dont you have laws preventing this ?

Apparently not. We are getting scandal fatigue.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Blah blah. More outrage du jour.

Trump's Scottish golf courses are losing money hand over fist. They have never shown a profit. Trump pissed off the locals in his usual Trumpian way when he was building these resorts so that nobody local will patronize his courses or extoll their virtues. The only Trump Resorts to ever show a profit are his East Coast golf courses where he sells access.

Blah blah. More outrage du jour.

The left were not concerned when the Clintons amassed a $2 billion dollar slush fund, but wet themselves when Trump says he owns a cool golf course in Scotland. Talk about faux rage.

Obama bragging up General Motors products, one of the Dem party's biggest campaign contributors and YOU PEOPLE are totally silent. Spare us your faux rage.

The Scottish governments went directly against the wishes of the Scottish citizens.
Fvck the Scottish governments that went against the wishes of its' own people.
Trump destroyed the country side, the dunes, the entire ecosystem of this area, and he did it for $$$$$$.
Money rules for Trump & his Republican cult; fuck everything else.

You obviously do not know anything about the area, or the geology of the area where the Aberdeen course was built.

No surprise however as the Trump cultist are pretty much brain dead cult members.

You should try & educate yourself; you may not look so fvcking stupid, going forward.

Dont you have laws preventing this ?

No, but we have never really needed them. In the past, our citizenry was at least reasonable enough to understand that such behavior was simply unacceptable, so elected officials would avoid it, both out of self-preservation and out of respect for our system of government.

but now we have 30 million trump cultists who would praise anything and everything this amoral, unethical, classless, ignorant freak says or does, and they have great political power, themselves. Add to that the fact that we have an amoral, unethical, classless, ignorant child president who knows no bounds and who is willing to use his office to personally profit. So, there's the difference.

Astonishing. It looks like the US comes second.

Because it does. To a clinical narcissist, everything comes second. Actually, to paint a more accurate picture, Trump comes first, and everything else comes last.

Does anyone know his politics? Independent is the term for the office, not the people. Clearly, his ethics are not up to snuff.
