"SNIP.....

“President Trump sent out a predawn tweet Saturday boasting about Trump International Golf Links, constructed near Aberdeen, Scotland, among the high, wind-raked dunes along the North Sea,” the Washington Post reports.

Tweeted Trump: “Very proud of perhaps the greatest golf course anywhere in the world. Also, furthers U.K. relationship!”

“The comment sparked immediate consternation from critics of the president, who suggested he was using his powerful office to advance his financial interests. The U.S. Constitution has two clauses designed to prevent a national leader from using power in such a manner.”

.....SNIP"

I was thinking his golf course must be failing. But he can super monetize his base applegrove Mar 2019 #2
If his golf course is "failing" it will not be the first or the last of his investments that "fail." Stuart G Mar 2019 #3

He has lost it. A President of the U.S. does NOT do this. It is illegal, and against the Constitution. But Trump is so arrogant, and so sure that he is going to get away with it, that he does this. It is not a mistake, because Trump does what he wants to do no matter what the law is. Even if he is told not to do something like this, he does it anyway to show his anger at being told what to do....................nevertheless, there is a time coming when his entire family will pay for these kind of illegal acts. That time cannot come soon enough, but I am more than willing to wait, if it comes with the power and impact that we all think will happen...Trump and his brand will become a moment in history similar to Mr Nixon's famous..."I am not a crook" statement.
And sometime later, Trump will be out of the Whitehouse. He will be gone. Lost in his own sea of stupidity

....There are "Trump Towers" all over. They will be sold to others and the names of those buildings will be changed. Old timers will remember that, "This was the .."Trump Tower." But over time people will not remember the buildings just who Trump was and what he did. Sure, I don't know the future, but that is what I think will happen. And I am not the only one who thinks this.
