The appearance of impropriety is monumental and undeniable.

A family or closely controlled enterprise/foundation dealing in large sums, and particularly one accepting large sums from foreigners, warrants investigation. (A long-recognized pathway for bribery.) Someone should investigate. Certainly no-one has hesitated to investigate before. Yes, I laughed as I typed that last sentence, but there always has to be a first step, so it might as well be now irrespective of what has gone before; converts to a cause are always welcome. It would at least flip the future excuses from "your guy did it too" to "our guy was investigated, so yours should be too".

Give it a rest. Nothing has been "proven" yet. Remember the Biden family? No-one could even get to "proven", because lack of "proof" was proposed by any number of fart-catchers as an excuse for not opening investigations. "Oh, you can't investigate them. You have no PROOF!" rhetoric was all over the place.

And this board was filled with page after page of solemn comments that whatever the Biden family business looked like, no bribery/corruption was proven - a simple statement of fact. If that was someone's standard then, it should be his standard now.

If a customary indicator for potential bribery exists, investigate. Unusual money flows into a politician's extended family and controlled assets are a customary indicator. I'm saying, "investigate". If warranted, seek indictments and press charges. Trump's gang looks dirty; Biden's gang looked dirty; I believe them all to be dirty; innocent until proven guilty remains.

The net worth isn't debatable if it's right there in disclosures.

The questions centre on who is managing it.

So who is managing it?
He says Eric is, but what does that mean actually?
As I pointed out in here previously, the amount of transactions that he disclosed points to ‘someone’ day trading to the tune of over 50 trades a day. That’s not investing, that’s day trading. So, going back to Eric managing his money, is Eric sitting behind a desk from 9:30-4 every day buying and selling 50 times for his Dad?

Those are questions that could be answered by an investigation, surely?

Given the right conditions, a set of limit orders could generate a lot of trades. All you'd need are a "buy" and "sell" order close together and a jittery stock price ranging between the two.

Sorry but what occurred in his portfolio over 3 months was Day Trading 100%

President Donald Trump's financial disclosures indicate that his investment accounts executed over 3,600 individual stock trades during a single three-month quarter.

It’s always deflection. But what about Biden. Surprised you didn’t bring up Obama. Hunter was investigated, charged and had his reputation destroyed. Joe was investigated and no charges laid in a scathing report. Joe should have left office after the first year but that kind of power is too attractive.
Trump was investigated but the judge has permanently locked away the evidence.
How can there be an investigation of Trump? Who do you honestly think is stupid enough to attempt that? It would be career ending and will end up with that person being investigated by tRumps “Justice Department “ (ain’t that an oxymoron). The Supreme Court just gave him total control of all government branches. He controls the Republican party. But you know all that; but it doesn’t matter as he can’t do any wrong in your books.

Well, all you need is to rule out all the mundane Occam's Razor explanations and you might have a juicy theory. Go for it.

Sure, calls for equal application of principles is deflection.

So we've got a family making money with appearances of impropriety. Next thing you know there'll be blanket presidential pardons for family members.

The Biden administration was a real gift to the Trump administration.

Yeah, Trump always wins at the USSC.

There are enough Democrats calling for going hard in the courts - particularly state courts - after everyone associated with the Trump administration who might have put a foot wrong that people would have to be complete fools to take real risks. A few will still do so. Who knows, maybe a sack of pardons or emigration outside the jurisdiction of any US power that matters are in the future. I'll need more popcorn.
 
Well, the fair has been evacuated. The weather is causing the place to fall apart, including the stage that already had bits falling off.
 
Jeez…..it was glaringly obvious 3 months in to this term what was going on and what and how his sons,Ivanka and JK were involved.
 
21,000 trades in his first year of term 2.

The smoke got progressively worse and worse. Near the end you can barely see them.


It was also predicted in advance that the smoke was going to get trapped in the area thanks to the weather, including obscuring the show itself like the 2019 display.
