This has got to be a gigantic practical joke, isn't it?

[malaise]

1. Heard it on ABC news a few minutes ago

This is madness

[Cattledog]

2. Back together again with fellow groper Arnold.

[BigDemVoter]

3. Nope. It's not a joke. And it's no surprise. And this is getting so goddamned bad

that I am really considering if I want to live here anymore.

[riversedge]

5. I wish I could afford to at least move to a blue state.

[Doreen]

13. Just because you live in a blue state does not mean your safe.

I live in a blue state but I live in a very red county believe me I notice the difference when I go to blue counties next to my red county.

[riversedge]

4. Nope no joke--saw an article about it a bit ago. no joke.

[Cattledog]

6. Conflict of interest

NBC is a major media/news company covering him.

[TwilightZone]

7. Executive Producer often means "paying for it" or "just stuck my name on it for the press"

Either way, it's still a conflict.

[Wounded Bear]

19. And collecting a substantial salary...

As the old saying goes, "He doesn't give it away."

[TwilightZone]

24. Yep.

Here's my name for a cut of the proceeds.

[Kathy M]

21. Yes

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

8. Definitely NOT a joke!! Un-fucking-believable!!

9. Throughout the campaign people guessed that he was trying to lose.

He kept doing things that would have sunk anyone else's campaign in a NY minute. But he just kept going. Now he is doing outrageous things and some will speculate the same thing. He is purposely trying to get out of being President. He did what he set out to do....WIN. So now he wants to get out of it, especially after being confronted with the reality of being president. Lots of WORK and he will have to get rid of his precious holdings. I am sure it is being drummed into his thick skull that turning things over to his children does not cut it when it comes to a conflict of interest problem. So we probably can expect more and more outrageous things so he can cut and run and act like he was forced out by unreasonable rules and regulations regarding the presidency.

Just for the record, he has only been the President elect for a month or so and I am sick to death of his act already. I can't imagine four years of this....god forbid eight.

[R B Garr]

12. Agreed that he didn't really want to be Pres, just wanted

to win. Someone or several people here speculated he wanted to start a Trump News network and be a media mogul...

But now it's looking like he's set his sights on more ways to force his will. He wants to ram his picks through and get exemptions for that Mad Dog Mattis or he's threatening that people will get angry. Looks like he has no intention of complying with laws or customs, and it looks like no one will make him.

[Kathy M]

22. Either what you said above ..... or others are doing things behind the scenes

that he is covering for ...... ryan , pence , etc going to have to see what everyone else is doing when rump is making noise .

I can not imagine four years of this either .......

One thing hopefully democrats , liberals , progressives will unite sooner that later ......... starting now .........

[Auggie]

10. American politics has jumped the shark

[enough]

11. He has no understanding of what the President of the United States is.

Or, possibly, we don't.

[gratuitous]

14. Is this why he can't submit a budget to Congress?

Too busy looking at flooring samples for his show?

[kentuck]

15. They don't understand...

Everything is negotiable for Donald.

Unless he is forced or persuaded that something is wrong or illegal, he will continue to do it. That is what he is doing with his businesses right now. Unless he is forced to rid himself and put them in a blind trust, not his family, he will continue to do what he is doing.

[Skittles]

16. because he is not qualified to be president

he never intended to do the JOB of the president, he just needs the ATTENTION

[Kathy M]

23. Yup ..... pence, ryan etc will be doing the work

he (t) will be running interference

[SticksnStones]

17. Is it even legal for the president to have a side job?

Isn't the presidency kind of a full time gig?

What if both positions call upon him at the same time....what do you imagine he'll prioritize? The production schedule or leading the nation?

C'mon, we all know the answer to that ~

What the hell is going on?!?

[Kingofalldems]

18. Insanity. And the media does not question it.

[Ilsa]

20. Geez. I think I'm ready for that giant asteroid. nt
