They made jimmy carter sell his peanut farm, didn't they?

[Gabi Hayes]

how his twitler getting away with keeping all his shit?

I know, the family is somehow shepherding all his supposed assets, but is the blind trust/divestiture crap just a suggestion, or a law, or in the constitution?

as has been said, if he'd been forced to sell all his 'assets,' they'd likely turn out to actually be mountains of debt, right?

anyplaces to see that can spell this out in comprehensible terms?

do ANY rules apply to this creep?

1. The difference is that they didn't have to "make" him.

Carter would have disdained even a semblance of a conflict of interest.

2. they also were demanding bill and chelsea have nothing to do with their charity

It would have been the worse corruption for daughter of president to work on helping people with aids.

3. Exactly. And the GOP attacked him for Billy's income from the farm.

Total hypocrites. Plus what Trump is doing is infinitely worse and violates the Emoluments Clause since he's getting money from foreigners.

6. No, he didn't sell it

He placed it in a trust. Lots of youngins here.

7. that's what they said on a radio show last night....sold it.

btw, I lived in DC for all of his and reagan's presidencies

wish I was one of those younguns

I remember very well what the liberal media and his own party did to him:
