Remember how the first time around, there was all sorts of attention on that he would have to put his interests into a blind trust, but then he just put his shitty kids "in charge" for a while?

Notice how nobody is saying a fucking thing about that now?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago

Well he did comment on it saying something like "I thought I would have to do it but it wasn't legally necessary so I just didn't do it".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Well we all made a big deal about it last time and he just got away with it. Why waste our energy on that now? It's tiring

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 week ago

Those kids would be real upset if they knew about conflicts of interest.

His Nazi concentration camps are a bit more of a concern to me but I guess I will be concerned about this too.

Source on that? Not trying to be a dick but I hadn't heard him talk about Nazi concentration camps yet

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Ha ha ha are you kidding me? Of course he does not call his camps for deportations Nazi concentration camps.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You know Nazi concentration camp was once a smoke screen/euphemism for something far worse, right? Concentration camp was a warm and fuzzy enough of a term to be used by other countries, US included.

Of course Trump is not going to call his camps concentration camps, we are just going to have yet another euphemistic term that no one will dare to use outside of historical context 20 years from now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Theyve already coined the term, deportation camp.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Search texas land sale for deportation obviously not using the same terms, but a rose by any other name
