Do YOU understand that his past and fairly recent actions do not support what YOU "anticipate" his future actions to be?
...
I can see why you would say that. And my answer is above. In his new position, he will have different responsibilities.
And his resorts having to pay Americans will not be a competitive disadvantage if his competitors are forced to do the same.
That is if his resorts do pay Americans. He has already publicly stated that he would distance himself from his businesses.....that's likely a facade to create the illusion that he really has the best interest of working class Americans at heart.
You just spent several posts arguing that he won't keep his promises because of his business interests, and now you are downplaying his business interests.
No. What I am saying is that "he says" his business interests will take a backseat to the job of president
I'M saying that his Presidency will be more important than his business interests.
500 million, a billion, not that big of a difference in lifestyle.
A popular President with a same party Administration and the support of a strong base is a lot different than an unpopular president with a hostile population and a hostile Congress.
If he/you assume he will live long enough to have a significant POST presidency, the difference becomes even more stark.
Like anything else, time will tell. Of course cooperation and not having a Congress that is wiling to sacrifice the country in order to ensure that you fail is a plus.
