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 ?

Who is this leading ethics expert? Name the name and let's see what his politics is.

"Walter Shaub, a former head of the independent US Office of Government Ethics"

Maybe really the article before commenting next time.

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

So he has to be supportive of the President coining it from his office ?

Trump secured 2020.

Clearly, his ethics are not up to snuff.

And you're going to present the argument against his ethics right now. Yes, i am sure you are well versed in the logic and structure of ethical arguments, and you're about to show us why you know better than a person who did it as a career...

...or not.

It is pretty simple really. Ethics by a government agency is no ethics at all. People who adhere to a progressive or leftist ideology do NOT have any ethics whatsoever.

Now, the guy in this office, which claims to be independent (is that like the independent GAO which is partisan as fuck?) clearly doesn't understand ethics in that the President can promote a business in the world -- even his own -- without any conflict of interest. I'd ask you if you understood why, but clearly, you don't.

Get back to Me when he holds a gun (a figurative gun of government) to peoples heads and makes them use a golf course that is own by a corporation.

No one said that. I question his opinion based on his personal politics.

Clearly, there is no ethics violation here, so the question is; What motivated this clown to speak out?

We actually do but he's flaunted them so many times everyone is exhausted.

Ethics by a government agency is no ethics at all.

Irrelevant. Ethical arguments stand on their own. What you are saying is stupid and wrong,and I ignored the rest of your useless post. You don't get to say something so stupid and irrelevant, and then keep talking.

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.

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.

[/QUOTE]

None of that shows that the golf course is making money

Trump is already a dictator enabled by a Republican Senate.

There is nothing just nothing that the haters of trump will not do to handicap him. They will fabricate stories, misrepresent the facts, take stuff out of context, leave out important points just to malign the president. You are not alone. Even Chris Wallace, a never trumpers himself can’t find one positive in trumps last week. Maybe his golf courses were in the red, maybe they were remodeling and closed for a period of time, which they were. I guess not one of you thought to investigate. Let’s take this and run with it cause it all looks bad. I think this article pretty much exposes the op for his selective resourcing.

Revenues Soar At Trump's European Golf Courses

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.

Its great that there are so many stupid people around to support this.

The whole world knew that america about 20% or so of the dumbest people, most narcissistic, loud, stupid, racist people and those people with the help of Russia did manage to get hold of the WH.

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.

Oh, i didn't know Obama owned part of GM, dickweed.

 

[Clipper]

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.

When all else fails, but, but the Clinton's!

Every business that Trump has been involved with he's managed to run into the ground. He's a fucking imbecile & the cult thinks he's going to save this Country.

Good luck with that, Trumptards!
