will be helping his many business connections. I am not suggesting the Donald himself is picking up the phone and making the call and useing direct pressure or influence...but...whether underlings, even unknown to him , are doing so...insinuating in any way that it might be a good thing to...or a decision by a country or business to go a certain way..meaning"it couldn't hurt to.." .this is what is going to happen if the Donald does not cut himself off completly from his business interests.. Blind trust..keep his family out of government or out of the business..one or the other...can't do both...Donald himself , beyond say a once a year summation of where he stands business wise..just cuts himself away from any contact or knowledge of the happenings of his businesses.. ---------------------------------------------------------- To read complete article click on link below thinkprogress.org/under-political-pressure-kuwait-cancels-major-event-at-four-seasons-switches-to-trumps-d-c-1f204315d513#.ypf88h933" The Embassy of Kuwait allegedly cancelled a contract with a Washington, D.C. hotel days after the presidential election, citing political pressure to hold its National Day celebration at the Trump International Hotel instead.
A source tells ThinkProgress that the Kuwaiti embassy, which has regularly held the event at the Four Seasons in Georgetown, abruptly canceled its reservation after members of the Trump Organization pressured the ambassador to hold the event at the hotel owned by the president-elect. The source, who has direct knowledge of the arrangements between the hotels and the embassy, spoke to ThinkProgress on the condition of anonymity because the individual was not authorized to speak publicly. ThinkProgress was also able to review documentary evidence confirming the source’s account." |

So? All presidents use their influence to further their own agendas. I can't wait for the IRS to start its investigations .

These aren't his problems, yet. There's still a president even though he's on vacation again.

TT - Trillionaire Trump Right now , Erik and Ivanka could be starting Trump Contracting, Trump Industries and re-booting Trump Aviation as a manufacturing concern. The heck with Bechtel, Halliburton and Boeing! Don't think so...thats a impossible reach...think Bill Gates is only..[did I say only...LOL] is a $60 to 80 Billion... |

Possible true...however, in this case, with such a devide in the country, way beyond that when Obama came to power and there we had the race differences to blame that is always with us in this country. Whether one wants to admit it or not...to continual doing everything one can to widen this devide...real dumb and stupid which gives one a insite in how unprepared this President elect and company, chief supporters, relations , are so unprepared to assume contol of the country...actually they don't have a clue..IMHO of course. |
