OBRIEN: I think its an important moment for the American people to be woke about how rampant the financial conflicts of interest are among Trumps children and the president himself. Theyre an absolute failure to distance themselves from the Trump organization and all the deals theyve continued to pursue while in the White House, whether its the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.; 666 Fifth Avenue, which has a long and ugly history with Jared and the Chinese government; and Jared and the Russian government; and Jared and his familys struggling finances at the time all of this stuff will become, I think, food for thought for everyone.
Trump's corrupt ties go well beyond his own family. She cited the family of Trump cabinet member Elaine Chao (aka Mrs. Mitch McConnell), Rudy Giulianis family, Newt Gingrichs wife, Wilbur Ross, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, Attorney General William Barrs son-in-law, Eric Trumps brother-in-law - all of whom have profited from having Trump in the White House.

(16,254 posts)we have to remember. Trump benefits himself before he'd allow anyone else to benefit. When will we see his "take" from this position? I would be interested in knowing the kickbacks he's received from foreign countries, as well as his "projects" like that damned Wall. How much of that money actually reached it and how much was kicked back to Trump? He doesn't care about those getting over the border, his attention is elsewhere. How much from his hotels? Golf courses?
Trump has to be one of the biggest con men of history and we have him in the Oval Office.

(3,635 posts)Bloomberg's team was effective with their ads, really got under the RW/Trumpers skin.
You have to be willing to 'street fight' to beat Trump - he's a bully and you gotta hit him where it hurts.

(43,149 posts)has their anti-Trump dumpTrump strategy. In 2016 we had none. Sounded like only HRC was warning us. Now, the world knows.
If Trump's 2016 was how far he plumbed JohnBirch-type networks in small ethnic cities in rural America, how high we go in this election knowing what we know and how hard we know how to push it?
If every strategy peels off .1% from Trump's 2016, he's just about cooked. There is no defense of Trump, believable or otherwise. There's just rabble-rousing the fascists and racists in his base, and cheating on his behalf by unquantifiable actors.
But it does seem to me we have a distinct quality and quantitative advantage.

Given the coronavirus plague, they'll look at Democrats with a whole new appreciation for science and competence, and peel their butts off the couch and go vote.

(51,550 posts)They are so fucking dirty. Starting with Ivanka's Chinese patents granted upon entering the White House (what the fuck does she DO?) and Jared getting his palm greaded with Saudi million$. Then Eric and Don Jr and Ivanka scamming the Trump Foundation charity, following the example of their con man father.

(111,255 posts)and he might not. The Wall St. transaction tax is an idea whose time has come, although Biden is less likely to pursue it than Warren was. If the Senate changes hands, she still might be able to get it through and I doubt Bloomberg will be able to stop it.
There will likely be sweetheart riders on unrelated bills to give him some protection.

(2,227 posts)maybe Bloomberg needs to set his sights on Romney, too.
Let him be put under the microscope by a billionaire from our side...

(36,053 posts)Romney and this Burisma silliness will backfire. It's like hate chants, repeated to reinforce the base's belief in the "evil" of "Demoncrats."
Bloomberg's ad campaign can blow out 45's history of total fabrication, and he'll peel off votes in the General.
I hope his people produce longer than 30 second ads, though.
