Why Trump's foreign gifts concern the House Oversight Committee - CNN

[TexasTowelie]

House Democrats are investigating former President Donald Trump's "apparent failure to account for gifts from foreign government officials while in office" after learning there may be thousands of dollars-worth of items that are either missing or were not tracked properly, according to a new letter sent to the National Archives by the House Oversight and Reform Committee chairwoman and first obtained by CNN.

1. Possible, ah, . . . bribes?

2. Reporter repeatedly uses the wrong word: apprise instead of appraise.

The meaning of each word is distinct from the other; apprise means “to tell,” and appraise means “to set a value on.”

How did she get a job at CNN? Why didn’t someone correct her?

😠

She repeatedly used the wrong word over and over. Don't they have a f'ing copy editor?!!!! What the hell! It's CNN. Aren't they supposed to be professionals? My god! How our standards have fallen. You can't even find an article that answers the five W's of journalism anymore: “Who,” “What,” “When,” “Where,” and “Why.”

7. Trumpsky likely has plans to auction the gifts off...

after autographing them with a Sharpie.

Then he'd put the Sharpie up for sale.
