Trump meets with Indian business partners after vow to step away from company
This raises more conflict of interest questions.
Click here for reuse options!…Trump reportedly met this week at Trump Tower with three Indian business partners, raising fresh questions about a separation between the Trump’s business and future work in the White House.
Trump’s children, who are part of his presidential transition team, also attended the meeting with Atul Chordia, Sagar Chordia and Kalpesh Mehta, according to India’s Economic Times.
The business partners are building a Trump-branded luxury apartment complex south of Mumbai. A picture of Trump standing alongside the men while giving a thumbs up was posted on Twitter earlier this week…
“Donald Trump’s children and son-in-law have been deeply involved in the transition and selecting who will be part of his administration,” said Noah Bookbinder, the executive director for Citizens of Responsibility and Ethics.
“At the same time they are deeply involved in the business. There does not seem to be any sign of a meaningful separation of Trump government operations and his business operations.”

How much BS does one person get to get away with? He conned his moronic followers, now we are sitting back while he shafts all of us?

I felt that . LO :+)

At pumpkin head tower in Manhattan they should designate one street level window for spitting on.
That way people won’t be tempted to start a new window.

Plenty of time to sort this out when the entire family is in jail. I’m not sure if Marla maples can liquidate the assets That’s a bridge too far right now
Larry Schmitt November 20th, 2016 at 12:05
Did you say bridge? Calling Mr. Christie.
robert November 20th, 2016 at 12:53
Hillary’s issues with our gov have all disappeared and trump isn’t inaugurated yet
The Original Just Me November 20th, 2016 at 10:58
Yea, and Hillary met with a FEW people, who gave donations to the Clinton CHARITY Foundation. That was Terrible.
Does ANYONE Believe ANYTHING T Rump says ??? Oh Yea, I forgot, A Fool is born every minute.
Larry Schmitt November 20th, 2016 at 12:06
Evidently a few million are born every four years.
Carla Akins November 20th, 2016 at 11:48
Uh, no. He’s no longer a private citizen, he’s the president – elect. He should have had other in place already to replace his children in these matters. What it shows is how little respect or comprehension he has for the office.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 12:46
‘He should have had otner in place’….what do you mean?
Carla Akins November 21st, 2016 at 05:20
It’s not rocket science. If you plan to be the next President, you should be aware of the regulations. He should have had whatever staff that was taking over his and his family’s holdings long before now. They should have been addressing this business deal.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 12:59
Yes, he’s still a private citizen. President Obama is still the President. Just because he’s talking to potential Cabinet members, in a private setting–doesn’t make it an official job. Otherwise, his children wouldn’t be authorized to be there….
Guy Lauten November 20th, 2016 at 17:11
He’s not a private citizen anymore. Once he becomes a president-elect, he is afforded special treatment under the law and has special responsibilities under the law. Private citizens do not get top-level security briefings every day. Private citizens who are not ex-officials do not get Secret Service security details.
You really should work on your facts before opening that piehole.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 17:17
He is a private citizen, even though he’s the President-elect. Since he began going to debates, the Secret Service guarded him. You don’t worry about my ‘piehole’….you BUG OFF! You are incapable of reason. Goodbye.
Guy Lauten November 20th, 2016 at 17:23
ahhhh… The feefees come out. too bad, so sad. One of the deplorable insulters can’t take their own heat. No one said you had to come on here and spout your lies and stupidities, none of us will miss you when you leave. Does the phrase “If you can’t stand the heat…” mean anything to you? How about “Get Used To It”? Au revoir(?)
Jack E Raynbeau November 20th, 2016 at 12:31
Yeah, right. His concern for the treatment of women is well known.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 12:40
They seem to be treated pretty good by him, if you ask me…
Jack E Raynbeau November 20th, 2016 at 12:43
So, you wouldn’t mind him grabbing you by the crotch?
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 12:54
Who’s crotch did he grab? Nobody’s, I know of…
Jack E Raynbeau November 20th, 2016 at 12:57
So you’re saying he’s a liar?
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 13:05
He was joking privately with a bunch of men…..you, of course, have never spoken like that…..awwww….
Jack E Raynbeau November 20th, 2016 at 13:14
You’re really easy and no, I have never bragged/joked about sexual assault nor have I ever heard anybody other than Trump do so.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 13:19
Well most people have either said or heard things like that and it doesn’t amount to anything…..good for you if you’re that disciplined….most people are not.
Jack E Raynbeau November 20th, 2016 at 13:23
Now you’re an authority on what most people have heard? You must hang with a sleazy crowd.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 13:31
Don’t worry about me. I take care of myself. You need to get out more..it’d do you good…broaden your horizons…make you less narrow-minded and judgmental…all good things.
Jack E Raynbeau November 20th, 2016 at 13:41
I get out quite a bit. I just avoid sleazy people.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 13:47
So do I. What’s wrong with you?
Jack E Raynbeau November 20th, 2016 at 13:57
Nothing wrong with me. I’m not the one apologizing for a serial sexual assaulter.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 14:33
A serial sexual assaulter….who? Trump? He’s innocent of that, as far as I know…unless you have Gloria Allred waiting in the wings, rady to pounce again….with a bogus claim from a porn star….
Jack E Raynbeau November 20th, 2016 at 19:02
I believe the number is upward of ten now.
robert November 20th, 2016 at 12:57
Who did trump shoot on 5th av. None that I know of ? At least we have it on YouTube
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 13:03
He’s our new President-to-be….get used to it.
robert November 20th, 2016 at 13:07
Hillary must be laughing her ass off
Jack E Raynbeau November 20th, 2016 at 13:15
Maybe. He could self destruct before January. He had another melt-down last night.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 13:20
Lol! Well let’s hope not….January’s pretty close..
Jack E Raynbeau November 20th, 2016 at 13:24
Yeah, it will be more fun to watch him slowly self destruct.
Obewon November 20th, 2016 at 14:53
Trump settles suit of 13 year old girl he tied to a bed and raped as she pleaded ‘Stop. Please no. No! Stop. Stop. Stop…’ https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cc4f4b6e0bf22649c94d5f2b251905ef7a0a046c35ee418dd457d0d601e62035.jpg

Here is the list, just so it doesn’t slip your mind.
Karena Virginia
Tasha Dixon
Jessica Leeds
Rachel Crooks
Natasha Stoynoff
Mindy McGillivray
Kristin Anderson
Summer Zervos
Temple Taggart McDowell
Not to mention the teenage girls he walk in on while they were dressing for a miss teenage competition.
Did you forget all that fay?
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 15:13
Please!! Do you have a phone book in your room? They should all come forward and charge him, then. Why don’t they? I heard Summer Zervos, the porn actress, begged him after the election to forget about her lawsuit…did you forget about that?
anothertoothpick November 20th, 2016 at 15:17
But they DID come forward and then had their lives threaten by people like you.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 15:23
Please!! I’m an old/young grandmother!! I’d never hurt anybody!
anothertoothpick November 20th, 2016 at 15:31
That’s too bad because medicare as we know it is about to get privatized.
A republican bill that clinton would never sign into law. But pumpkin head sure the hell will.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 15:33
Obamacare is what people can’t pay for. That’s the big problem.
anothertoothpick November 20th, 2016 at 15:37
The problem with the Obamacare is that it still includes the insurance companies.
And that is what medicare is going to look like.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 16:06
I hope they figure something out.
anothertoothpick November 20th, 2016 at 17:05
Just keep in mind that America pays the highest drug prices in the world.
No doubt the republicans will “figure something out” that will help the corporations.
And screw us over.
fahvel November 21st, 2016 at 03:02
STOP conversing with this empty headed worm!!!!!!
anothertoothpick November 20th, 2016 at 14:59
Pretty good huh?
How about In a May 1991 Esquire magazine profile, Trump had this to say about his recent bad press: “You know, it really doesn’t matter what they write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass. But she’s got to be young and beautiful.”
He insulted a breastfeeding mother. “You’re disgusting.”
He insulted Kristen Stewart.
He insulted Megyn Kelly — and, once again, pretty much all women.
He insulted Arianna Huffington.
He insulted New York Times columnist Gail Collins.
He insulted Sarah Jessica Parker.
He insulted Brande Roderick, a contestant on The Apprentice. “It must be a pretty picture,” he said to her. “You dropping to your knees.”
He insulted Bette Midler.
he insulted Rosie O’Donnell.
He insulted moms who expect their husbands to change diapers.
He insulted all Muslim women.
He accused Hillary Clinton of playing the “woman card.”
He insulted victims of sexual harassment.
He insulted women seeking abortions.
He insulted NBC reporter Katy Tur.
He attacked reporter Michelle Fields’s character.
He insulted Elizabeth Warren
He insulted Heidi Cruz.
He insulted Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
He insulted Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski.
He body-shamed Kim Kardashian when she was pregnant.
Here is a guy who has no idea how to treat women “pretty good”.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 15:06
He’s going to be your president. Get used to the idea. If I could stand Clinton and Obama–you can stand Trump.
Guy Lauten November 20th, 2016 at 15:20
He’s going to be The Pussy Grabber in Chief, pretending to be a president. Don’t like the insults? Call the “Obummer is a gay prostitute” people.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 15:22
I’ve never called Obama anything, except for President Obama.
Guy Lauten November 20th, 2016 at 15:24
who cares? every other member of the small-mind crowd used every other pejorative for the President, including all the right-wing press? Don’t like being accused of things your friends do? Don’t hang with them, don’t talk like them, don’t walk like them. You smell like a duck, you’re a duck. “Get used to it”.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 15:33
But you think it’s okay for them to mock Trump and laugh at him?
Guy Lauten November 20th, 2016 at 15:46
Absolutely! You and your buddies have spent the last 8 years trying to insult and demean our President, to the point of insisting (in the face of all evidence otherwise) that he wasn’t born here (a lie that The Pussy Grabber did all he could to promulgate), attempting to de-legitimize him at every step. Well guess what? The shoe is on the foot now. I can assure you we will afford The Pussy Grabber in Chief every bit of the same respect you and your buddies showed President Obama. Every bit of it. And we’ll do it every day, in every press outlet we can find. Make “Get Used To It” your new life motto, because the storm is just starting.
William November 20th, 2016 at 17:02
AWWWWWW. Suddenly the Trumpanzees are offended. How terrible it must be for your delicate sensibilities.
Stick around, we’re just getting started.https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1e3bf8365907b450a11415586d63f21f1ed88926de2da94c7ed26aa9104d0f11.jpg

moch’m, pukeon’m, poopon’m and anything else. he is an undeserving piece of toilet waste and he’s all yours.
fay9169 November 21st, 2016 at 04:23
No. He’s not only mine….he’s YOURS, too!
fahvel November 21st, 2016 at 02:59
is there a snippet of knowledge in your head? seems like the same old lame stuff from away away right nutjobville.
rat618 November 20th, 2016 at 13:58
Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what you can do for Trump….the over riding rule for the next 4 years.
Obewon November 20th, 2016 at 14:47
Those three probably wanted their money back too. Like minions defrauded by con Don, all they got was a picture. “The business partners are building a Trump-branded luxury apartment complex south of Mumbai.”-Just like Trump’s $200 M collected but never built Baja, Mexico scam, the Miami Fl scam, etc.
Bilked Trump Baja condo buyers accused Trump and two of his adult children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., of duping them into believing that Trump was one of the developers, giving them confidence that it was safe to buy unbuilt property in Mexico. http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-baja-snap-story.html https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/225a6d9f741f866d19cf7f6d3f9a653afead23050131167fc3ba7aaca2e721cc.jpg
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 18:02
You people should have fought harder, so Trump wouldn’t be our president-elect. On the other hand, like I mentioned earlier–he’s transitioning, from a private citizen businessman into the President. He needed to take care of this business deal, and that’s what he did. Personally I myself will never travel to India….if somebody wants to sue him–then sue him…what are they waiting for?
Obewon November 20th, 2016 at 18:20
Your unvetted GOP Neoclown trump loses lawsuits every other month. It’s too bad (R)acist fluffers fell for the dumbest 70 I.Q. repub. Nonetheless the pendulum always swings every eight years, sans Bush Sr.
fay9169 November 20th, 2016 at 18:29
That’s true. They are easy come, easy go….none of them last too long. He’ll be over before we know it…
anothertoothpick November 20th, 2016 at 15:00
Nah! He is just making sure his con is working.
fahvel November 21st, 2016 at 02:57
sadly, you are delusional.
