He's a germaphobe.

It's a good thing that pee is a pretty sanitary fluid.

The left isn't anti-Russian, at least not obsessively so. The Russian obsession is all centrist nerds who played too much Risk.

I’m not releasing the tax returns because they’re under audit... The only people that care about my tax returns is the reporters... I won. I became president.

I Predict ... a significant uptick in donations to the ACLU in the coming months and years, as well as quite the number of pro bono hours from MANY as well.

I cannot possibly fathom someone willing to buy a 10-Year Term life insurance policy from something that looks like this, let alone put it in the White House.

Now they're "building a wall" between Trump and his companies.

It takes a special kind of talent to lie on camera when spreading bullshit to the bullshitted clowns who want more for the $2BB in free media

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2017/jan/11/trump-dossier-russia-has-compromising-material-on-president-elect-live-updates

Dillon, the lawyer, says a trust will be created by 20 January. The trust will hold cash and perhaps an index investment and “preexisting and illiquid business assets - golf clubs, resorts, hotels, royalties, real estate.”

And the management of the Trump organization goes to Don Jr and Eric, and a third Trump executive.

The management team will include an ethics adviser, Dillon says. “President elect Trump will resign from all offices he holds” with the Trump organization, she says.

Trump has “already disposed” with all publicly traded and “easily liquidated” investments she says.

“No new foreign deals will be made whatsoever during the duration of Donald Trump’s presidency,” she says.

Trump won’t talk to his sons about new domestic deals, Dillon says. Trump “will only know of a deal if he reads it in the paper or sees it on TV.”

Dillon calls the division between Trump and the Trump organization a “wall.”

“In sum, all of these actions – complete relinquishment of management, no foreign deals, ethics adviser approval of deals, and sharply delineated information rights” will resolve any conflict of interest, Dillon says.

Why not divest? “Selling would not eliminate conflict of interests,” Dillon says. Also selling the assets would “create a fire sale” and “selling the entire Trump organization isn’t even feasible” and Trump shouldn’t be required to liquidate his life’s work.

Also an IPO is not an option, too “cumbersome,” Dillon says. Neither is a blind trust. “You cannot have a totally blind trust with operating businesses,” she says, which is credible.

The question is, can you build a credible firewall of information between Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr / Eric Trump?

Dillon says Trump won’t take gifts – emoluments, as the Constitution has it – from foreign governments.

Dillon says the clause does not apply to “fair-value exchanges that have absolutely nothing to do with an office-holder.” She says emoluments don’t cover routine business transactions, like “paying for hotel rooms.”

“Paying for a hotel room is not a gift or a present, and it has nothing with office. It’s not an emolument.” This all refers to the Trump hotel in the old post office building in DC, where foreign governments have scheduled big events, perhaps to curry favor with the incoming president.

“He is going to voluntary donate all profits from foreign governments made to his hotels to the United States treasury,” Dillon says.

Another charity promise from Trump. Trump has a long history of promising to or appearing to make donations to charity but failing to follow through.
