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 ?

Former head of the independent US Office of Government Ethics? WTF

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.....I am now 100% convinced that the real reason you keep trolling this American website over the most trivial bullshit imaginable, is because you are a masochist who sexually gets off on us Americans verbally abusing the shit out of you; it does get you hard. Well, this yank shall not disappoint your verbal-abuse fetish: you Welshman are nothing but a namby-pamby, FAKE country that farted out of England's asshole. You booze-pickled, girlish, mincing little British rentboys love to slither around on your bellies before your Islam masters. Limp-wristed, prancing little muslim rentboy.

You DARE expect us Americans to take the likes of you SERIOUSLY??? What drugs are you on???

He hasnt been a good neighbour. Ive just got up and read this thread and it seems obvious to me that his fans do not understand the point being made in the OP.
Let me make it simper.

TRUMP IS USING HIS POSITION TO PROMOTE HIS BUSINESS INTERESTS.

IS THAT OK IN THE US ?

In the UK we call it a "conflict of interest" , a term which covers a lot of potential dishonesty on the part of our politicians.

Interesting reading that. Would the President qualify as an "employee" or is he above all of that ?

It seems that we have made our presidents "above" just about anything.

Trump destroyed the country side, the dunes, the entire ecosystem of this area,

LOL Trump "destroyed the countryside"? You loons grow more deranged with each passing day.

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.

I know how big a golf course is you dolt, its only a fraction of 'the countryside'. Here let me laugh in your face

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

That's because you are a Dem ignoramus.

Graft is the grifter Trumps middle name

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.

Has one in the Bronx NY where the people paid 128 million Ok for Repubs when they get free money

Taxpayers built this New York golf course and Trump reaps the rewards.

Obama stole a huge share of GM from the rightful owners, via government threats of retaliation. Then gifted it to the GM unions, who vote and contribute gobs of money to Obama and the Dem's. You are either an ignorant moron or intentionally dishonest.
