We need to stop calling it conflict of interest and call it what it is: corruption and bribes [View all]

conflict of interest doesn't sound all that bad. What they are doing is using the office of the presidency to make more money. Remember the howls about the Clinton Foundation taking "bribes" from foreign countries and Bill Clinton selling the Lincoln bedroom to his donors? They went nuts yet they don't care that we risk a war with China as long as Ivanka can sell her $10K bracelets.

Every person who stays in a Trump hotel is paying a bribe to the president. If you want to be in his favor, stay at his hotels. Buy his daughter's dresses and jewelry and his wife's caviar lotion.

Corrupt Trump taking bribes.
