    Previous presidents waited until they were out of office to make money off of their presidential tenure, and thus violated neither the norms nor rules of presidential conduct. Trump violates both.

He wouldn't have to do any work, although other Obama family members could work for the new chain. And Obama would vacation at various Obama-branded resorts and hold meetings with world leaders there (paid for by the government), and the feds would pick up the Secret Service tab for his family members' travel to the opening of other Obama resorts. Would Hannity have a problem with that? How does that differ from what Trump is doing?
      Good thought. Hannity would have suffered a brain aneurysm had Obama did this. And it doesn't seem like it differs much from what Trump is doing. But we all know Hillary would be doing much worse, amirite Ted?

        So this is sort of a speculative #whataboutobama?

                You're surprised Trump once again said something that makes no sense? He's clearly dumber than a pile of rocks on topics like trade.

                      I'm sorry I'm so unbalanced and crazy in my criticism on Trump. His trade wars and antagonizing of our allies is completely benign, and if unchecked, won't have any impact on our economy.

                      When it comes to politics and global affairs you've abandoned rationality a long time ago. That's ok, a lot of conservatives are doing that these days.

                          The president believes that the United States owes nothing to anyone—especially its allies.

                            Cool. Cool. So what part of the pride cycle are we sitting at right now and will I see unmitigated death and sweeping destruction in my lifetime or will that be just my kids?

                              Except Russia. The one country he hasn't threatened with tariffs, called names or banned entry from its citizens. I read Trump threatened to cut off trade with India today.

                              What a moron the GOP has saddled this country with. Who needs friends or diplomacy? Great rational choice Vichy conservatives.
