....4th project in India after Pune, Mumbai and Kolkata.

“We are launching today the most luxurious project in North India ‘Trump Towers Delhi NCR’,” M3M India director Pankaj Bansal told PTI.

With an aim too woo customers, he said, “About an initial 100 buyers will fly to the US where Donald Trump Jr will host them.”

Trump Organization executive vice president Donald Trump Jr said in a statement: “With its stunning architecture, beautiful interior options and lavish amenity spaces, our goal was to bring the best of the Trump brand and luxury living to Gurugram.”

Trump Towers Delhi NCR will quickly become the most prestigious address in the city, he added.

The construction work of the towers, each around 50 floors and over 600 ft facing golf course, will start in March and the project will be completed in 5 years. The towers will have the signature all glass facade."

He's using government aircraft for travel, the president's bird for prestige, and a promise to have dinner (access) with the POTUS' son if someone buys a stupid condo. Who is going to stop this?

...isn't going to lose sleep over the emoluments clause.

I don't remember Trump's EXACT "pledge" during the election...something like "I will remove myself from all of my businesses, it will all go into a blind trust run by my children and I won't be involved."

The first "red flag," for me, came when taxpayers ponied up the funds to send the Trump "kids" and their spouses and kids on that damned ski trip. That, and paying $400K (or whatever the amount was) to keep Melania in Trump Tower until Barron finished school.

My answer for your "Who is going to stop this" question is the voters in the 2018 midterms.

Paul Ryan's not going to stop it, Mitch McConnell's not going to stop it. What you see is what you get until at least November, and if voters don't reinstate Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, no one's going to stop it. Republicans will never use Articles of Impeachment or the 25th Amendment to remove Trump. And if Mueller DOES find Trump's hand in the cookie jar on the whole money laundering scenario, Trump could potentially resign. But he'd have to catch him red handed, Trump would have to know that his holiest of holys would become a matter of public record. If Mueller nails him on anything OTHER THAN his finances, the Republicans will simply stonewall EVERYTHING until 2020.

If we do NOT take back the House and Senate in November, I would be EXTREMELY concerned over 2020. Saying "Trump will NEVER get a second term" is sort of like saying "Trump would NEVER get elected" in 2016. For Ryan, McConnell and the "Freedom Caucus," this has been a dream come true. They have dismantled large portions of the Obama legacy, they got their tax cuts, they're working their way toward dismantling Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP and Social Security.

I prefer to focus on our winning in 2018. It's the ONLY way this crap is EVER going to end.

with money is just appalling. It's like they live their whole lives in pursuit of selling, selling, selling.

And grifting, grifting, grifting.

They are an embarrassment who do not deserve the right to represent our country. They bring shame onto our beautiful country.

I wish we could trade Dump Jr. and Eric the Stain with England for Princes William and Harry.

from an investment point of view....
would you buy a home where a big incentive can not be passed to the next buyer?
junior ain't gonna fly out each time a unit changes hands....
so the second you sit down for dinner with junior you unit which you dropped big bucks for is worth fewer dollars then when you
bought it....

I hope the folks in India are not fooled.

But, then again, I am not from the moneyed class (and I honestly thing it's better that I am not). Perhaps to them everything in life is all about money, not class, or style or caring.
