and they'll say it is all good.

"First Lady Ivanka" will run it from her office at the White House.

And no one will say a word.

I could be wrong, but that is what I am remembering.

I truly doubt that any law will ever be enforced with regard to that creature and his spawn.

It is kind of like when Nixon said "it isn't illegal if the President does it". That was rejected in the 70's, these days, I'm not sure it would be rejected.

Making money is his primary goal. He has hotels (henceforth known as "terrorist soft targets&quot all over the world. I don't think he had political aspirations when he built any of these structures.

Yes, the DC hotel lease episode is entertaining. Unfortunately, I suspect he will ultimately get away with it.
