because he isn’t required to/doesn’t have too?

Fact remains, it goes from his campaign to a corporation (separate legal entity). That legal entity according to election law has to charge for the service. Never Trumpers and many libies stamp their feets, jump up and down, and cry and scream over something required by law, and 100% legal.

Oh. The “technically not illegal” argument. Gotcha. Well, I guess we’re at the acceptance portion of this where we’re OK that our President is directly profiting from his campaign and isn’t trying to hide it.

I expect better. You apparently are OK with Trump. That’s … sad.

This is from Google info.

The average monthly rent for a square foot of office space is $1.74 in Atlanta and $1.92 in Dallas, according to data from TheSquareFoot. But in San Francisco, the price jumps to $5.43. It’s even pricier in New York City at an average of $6.16 — and that’s across all five boroughs.

So you wan to try again?

What’s your point?

I don’t care about price. It’s about renting space where Trump isn’t directly profiting.

Snow96 · 2019-05-15T15:37:23.425Z

There is absolutly NOTHING illegal with it. It’s not “technically legal”. He is following the law. He is under no obligation on where to rent space.

Just you Never Trumpers and get trump out of office at any cost libbies don’t like it. Change the laws then.

Such a weak justification. And granted, Trump, with his businesses, is such a unique case that we’ve never experienced before. But it would be so easy for him to avoid using his own properties. Again, we should all expect better … regardless of this bull ■■■■ “legality” argument.

A) Rehash yes, but still a legitimate issue.

It’s actually not a legitimate issue. It is simply a Trump-hating talking point.

Snow96 · 2019-05-15T15:44:50.207Z

Not weak at all. As you stated, we have never before had a sucessfull businessman elected president.

If you dislike how he operates . . . then press to change the laws. Good luck in doing so in a way that would be constitutional.

I can only assume that you’re OK with Trump profiting from his campaign? Yes?

And I wouldn’t go throwin’ around that “successful” word so flippantly.

So Trump directly profiting from his campaign is fine with you?

Snow96 · 2019-05-15T16:03:14.827Z

Really, you don’t think Trump enterprises is a successful business?

You must have a very very very narrow definition of a successful business.

peek-a-boo · 2019-05-15T16:10:14.362Z

That really isn’t what is in play here. Once again you are simply projecting your hatred of Trump.

I was being tongue in cheek given the reports coming out in the past two weeks about the massive amount of debt and loss reported on his tax documents.

Oh I def hate Trump, but he is still directly profiting from having his campaign rent space in Trump Tower. And you approve of that, apparently.

Think about what you are saying.

Trump is a billionaire. Do you honestly believe he is blindly engaging in questionable ethical behavior over a few thousand dollars? Really?

This about convenience and nothing more. There is nothing even remotely questionable or unethical in what the Trump campaign is doing.

You are the one out in left field here. Once again you are projecting your hatred of Trump onto his supporters and attempting to shame them into hating him as much as you do.

Who ever said it was illegal?

How do you know trump is a billionaire?

You’re talking about a guy who tried to sell steaks at an appliance store.

conan · 2019-05-16T00:47:37.707Z

Is he charging extra for his space…or is he charging what the market rate is?

You would have point if he was charging double the rate but it seems he’s in the ball park.

CaughtInTheMiddle · 2019-05-16T02:16:54.166Z

i told you guys that Trump was gonna show politicians what real corruption is.

kermode · 2019-05-16T02:23:07.577Z

He was supposed to be different. He was going to drain the swamp.
“I alone can fix it.”
And yet, his 2020 campaign rents space in his property.
Do you suppose there are other properties less expensive the campaign could use?
Of course, but they don’t.
Drain the swamp my ass.
