Amazing, and they said Clinton was the corrupt, pay to play one. Trump is literally using his position to market his business assets (which he has not divested). Where are all those people who were "worried" about how supposedly corrupt Clinton was?

Trump being corrupted does not erase Clinton's corruption. And there is no "supposedly" about it, Clinton is definitely the most corrupted democrat and possibly still one of the most corrupted "active" politicians and her "pay to play" was as obvious as Trump's to anyone not making excuses for either of them.

The people get what they voted for. Do you honestly think the 96% of Trump supporters who still actively support Trump will disapprove of this?

Trump is so sleazy for trying to market his business on federal websites. Kinda admire his idiot ways while sneak marketing at every moment.

Are you for real?

Only thing that is different from Trump to Clinton is that Trump is hated by some alt-left media like CNN and the W-post who therefore dig a lot deeper then they would have done if it was Clinton.

But unless you were born yesterday, you should know that Clinton have deep ties to wall-street, and many other "backers" , not to mention she raised 2-3 times what Trump ever did during the campaign. Which is now in the "wind" and in her pocket.

He usually posts vague bullshit then says he never said what he says. It's like talking to a wall.

Meh. That could be argued. We cant forget the democratic party was not corrupted until Bill and Hillary. Without their actions we would not have an Oligarchy right now.

The reality is in terms of political corruption, Clinton takes the cake. That said, Trump has been the outside source paying these politicians and i have no idea why no one wants to give him his due credit on this subject.

Have they had similar blog posts in the past?

Even if they have, I still think it would be wise to not post anything that can resemble advertising for companies the sitting president owns..

And? there is no legal problem here.

A president has the right to keep what he owns.

If its such a huge problem, then you can always gather support and try to convince the house to change it.

Did they advertise anything that Obama's business would profitt on?

What they are doing seem unethical, but doesn't have to be illegal.

Obama never had any business, he is a "career politician" , even tho it was only 3 years before he got elected for the white house.

But i agree it was unethical even tho that Mar Lago did host a number of events with foreign leaders.
