I can not remember in my lifetime a president-elect who had generated this much controversy before January 20th. Should be an interesting 4 years.

As long as the congressional 'pubs are unwilling to reign him in with threat of or actual impeachment, there are no constraints on Trump's behavior.

Thank you Hillary.

[Minimalist]

Don't blame her for the stupidity of the electorate.

[vorlon13]

I blame her for being a piss poor candidate.

[Minimalist]

She was a piss poor candidate in 2008.  She's a policy wonk.

'Murricans seem to want an entertainer.

Aw, I saw the thread title and thought "Another vagina thread".

Unless he figures out a way to dump his worldwide business interests he is in violation of the Emoluments Clause as soon as he takes office.

This is the kind of thing more attention needs to be paid to. A businessman is going to hold the highest office in the nation --and one of the most powerful, if not THE most powerful, political offices on the planet-- and it seems clear that he wants to have his cake and eat it, too. It would not surprise me if he canceled that press conference when someone told him that "I'm gonna let the kids run the business, honest" is not enough. And I'll bet it's killing him to think that he may have to hand over the keys to his empire to anyone else, even his kids. He's probably worried that they'll fuck him over the first chance he'll get because, after all, they're his kin.

Someone needs to remind these people that they'd be setting a precedent if they decide to go that route.

We live in unprecidented times, my friend.
