    This shit pisses me off.

    If Biden/Obama/aoc were pulling this we’d hear about emoluments 24/7

    But Trump does it and dems are like oh maybe we should just see what happens….

    Then we have TrumpRX and Trump making millions off crypto

    GDISM

      That’s because I’m the aggregate they are all the same. Regardless of party most are corrupt and get along just fine behind close doors.

      I mean, Pelosi made over $100 million on the stock market via inside trading, a number of GOP do the same, maybe not well as her, but they do it, too.

      So technically, in this specific instance, Trump Mobile isn’t run by Donald Trump. It’s instead a separate company run by Don Jr and Eric Trump. That company is then licensing the “Trump” name from The Trump Organization.

      Now The Trump Organization is owned by Donald Trump, although officially run by Don Jr, Eric, etc.

      But you’re absolutely right that all of this is bullshit. It’s also why Trump is so pissed at New York AG Letitia James for investigating and uncovering all sorts of shady business practices.

      You’re absolutely right that Congress should be doing something about it.
