Chuck Todd: It's Becoming Hard To Ignore Trump's Conflict Of Interests Anymore
By Sarah P
Video at link~


On MTP Daily this week, Chuck Todd offered a scathing take down of Trump's continued conflicts of interest in this amazing clip...using Trump's own words against him.

Remember when Trump on the campaign trail accused Hillary Clinton of "pay for play"? Allowing access to her family because they gave her family foundation tons of money?

Well well well...Trump's working* (aka golfing and eating) at his Mar-A-Lago resort two or three days per week means that the public-- or at least those who can afford $200K registration fee--can have unlimited access to The Donald and the myriad of businesses of his family. They can take photos of him having national security meetings with world leaders, golf with him and even snap photos of him sunning at the pool (just kidding on the last one - we all know he gets his tan out of a vintage 1980's style orange self tanner spray can).

Chuck covers a lot of Trump's particular brand pay-for-play issues, from Ivanka's Chinese made,flammable products to him paying money from his campaign back to his own businesses to the secret meeting Trump had with two former Colombian leaders at Mar-A-Lago.

The question is, at what point will the GOP do anything about it before he destroys the party's chances for re-election? We all know Trump is a lying, grifting, corrupt conman who is literally selling the White House for parts. He does not care one iota about the American people and the GOP majority has appeared to be comfortable enabling it as long as they get their legislation passed. But Jon Ossoff's showing in GA-6 should be a warning shot that the American people may not be happy with this grift.

1. He came right out & said that?? That's an admission that he's been trying to ignore them.

There absolutely is no better example of the Peter Principle than stupid Chuck Todd.

[DFW]

2. Note to Chuckie: SOME of us NEVER ignored them. YOU did.

"It's becoming hard to ignore Trumps conflicts of interest" implies that Republican "news" people have been trying very hard all this time to do just that. I don't suppose these "journalists (my dad was a real one, so I do know the difference)" have the slightest idea how REALLY bad that sounds.

"As loyal Republicans, we've been trying to cover for you guys as long as we can, but you're making it mighty hard for us...."

Yep, that's real objective journalism for you. Soviet-style, anyway.

[Achilleaze]

21. + 1,000

frikken corporate media (R) is so lame.

[kentuck]

3. It's not hard for them to ignore...

They are doing a good job ignoring it.

[wishstar]

4. All of mainstream media should be covering his profiteering off Presidency

If it was Clinton or any Dem, the outrage would be all over media. We are footing bill for millions more being spent than for any other Pres. in history for trips to Mar a Lago, Secret Service having to rent a suite in Trump Towers and golf carts at Mar a Lago and covering the Trump children's trips around world while he has not divested or removed his personal ownership in any of the Trump enterprises while having no accountability by releasing his financial records

5. Time's a-wasting here, I'm 70 yrs old and waitin' 'n' waitin'!1

[Paladin]

6. Chuckie Todd---perpetually tardy in his criticism of conservatives.

You're late, Chuckie---you and the rest of the MSM. "Better late than never" doesn't cut it, anymore. Thanks for nothing.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. The Viewing Public

is and will keep MSNBC's feet to the fire. After all,it is all about ratings and bottom line profit. Maddow is their number one rated on air Talent,and it appears the Male Talents are waking up to the fact that,if they do not get their crap together,they will be driving Uber Cars.

[charlyvi]

8. But it wasn't hard to ignore Hillary's, was it?

Even though many of them were outright bullshit. Big FAIL, Chucky, big fail.

[smirkymonkey]

9. Some of us haven't been ignoring it.

We have been screaming at the top of our lungs, but nobody in power is listening.

[Permanut]

10. Todd musta been ill that day in journalism school..

When they discussed how real journalists don't ignore facts.

[Amaryllis]

11. Becoming hard to ignore? At what point is it no longer possible?

[spanone]

12. and trust me, chuck's been trying hard to ignore them

[not fooled]

13. Well, as disgusting as lil Chucky Toad's blatant disregard for GOPee malfeasance has been

while thinking he's being "fair and balanced" by creating false equivalencies and dredging up phony nonsense about e.g. the Clintons, as far as pointing out the obvious truth about the corrupt dump admin: better late than never.



Oh, and of course, as others have pointed out above, just how bad dump is in comparison--even a snivelling, toadying sycophant like lil Chucky can't ignore it any more.

[SHRED]

14. So Todd was trying to ignore it?

That's what he's saying.

[Plucketeer]

15. I actually understand this

It's been ever so easy to ignore Chuck for YEARS now!

[Hortensis]

16. Oh, come on, Chuck. You can do it.

Just read from your earlier statements, choosing one to fit each situation as needed.

[dawnie51]

17. Yes it is Chuckie......

but you media guys have sure tried to ignore it. You should be screaming about it 24/7, the magnitude of it, the sheer enormity of the theft and grift. But you haven't have you? So you're complicit.

[dlk]

18. The GOP Will Never Do Anything About Trump's Vast Conflicts of Interest

The GOP is completely corrupt and will never do anything about Trump's vast conflicts of interest. They are too drunk with power and busy ramrodding their extremist agenda wherever than can. The good of the country isn't anywhere on their radar screen.

[stopbush]

19. WTF? Ignoring even ONE conflict that became apparent months ago

was unacceptable at the time. It's still unacceptable.

Fucking Toad.

[sarcasmo]

20. The conflicts were obvious during the campaign. Sad!

[GeorgeGist]

22. Why was it easy Chuck?

[JI7]

23. fuck you Chuck . why are you trying to ignore it ??????????

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

24. How can Todd ignore these conflicts of interest? Trump revels in them.

Trump rubs our faces in his conflicts, spending government money at his golf venues, his hotels, etc.

He's loving the controversy and the attention.
