If Trump wins, what's the legal ramifications to his businesses?

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Pretty sure Toyota and Nissan do a lot of manufacturing in the South.

Aaaaand Ford and GM (GMC, Chevrolet, etc)? You know, the companies we bailed out with Taxpayer dollars?

You recall very poorly. I live in a city with two very large plants one GM, one Ford each turning out hundreds of thousands of vehicles per year.

Protip: That's not a source

Can I start grabbing women by their ******.

 

[JSt0rm]

recession incoming.

Ah SNAP!!! I am out of the stock market and have been for several months. Damn, Eski was trashing me for doing it. If Trump actually wins, I am a guaranteed winner. For once maybe I can profit on the misfortune of others. I would expect a Trump win to take the stock market down below 15k almost immediately and he could do some real long term damage. The only question is how far the bottom will go. If you have significant assets, sell them NOW!!!!!!!

So are we going to have an Ownage of the Year thread from all the big talk for the last few months from many posters in here?

Free trade is bullshit, because it's a bullshit moniker and not actual free trade. It's simultaenously outsourcing your working class jobs to the 3rd world and protecting big IP (intellectual property) owners, increasing profits of big IP owners in the tech industry and Hollywood. In other words it's effectively a government run redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich. If you want real free trade, why do these free trade deals all involve extremely strong IP protections? It's basically socialism for the big corporations and open borders free market for the working class.

Intellectual property is the big thing now. Programming, drug design, etc aren't "bullshit", they're skilled and very valuable jobs. The issue is that government adds so much fluff in order to get anything approved for the market. The idea that a drug needs to go through a billion dollars worth of approval before it can hit the market is absurd.

The differential isn't that huge.

It's massive if you knew anything about china. These people are much better off on welfare watching honey boo boo and voting for trump than working for less in a chinese factory.

Trade wars, high tariffs, broad reduction or collapse in international trade? How does 1932 look to you?

 

[flexy]

I still *believe* she will win..but it will be extremely tight....or a tie.
Now it's really more the question whether SHE can win, not Trump.

Exhibit A of what's wrong with the electorate in this country. Uninformed voters will destroy this country.

Lulz Citizenship and Immigration Canada website just crashed.

I thought you were kidding so I tried to access it. It's not quite dead, but it is very slow. It must be getting hammered.

 

[Svnla]

If Trump wins, what's the legal ramifications to his businesses?

From what I read, he will transfer all of his businesses into trusts and his children and advisors will run them.

 

[Phynaz]

You do know how the popular vote works right?

What are you on about?

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Someone do a wellness check on Sportage please.

 

[Paratus]

So much for Nate Silver and Sam Wang and all the rest of them. A MI win will be hilarious too, since Clinton was projected to win it by 20 points, and instead lost it to Sanders by 1. The pollsters don't know how to factor in independents and maverick candidates.

Actually Nate probably had the largest percent chance of a Trump win from any of the mainstream poll aggregators.

As it is you need to be able to afford to live in the Bay Area or Manhattan in the US to afford Toronto. After Trump is done destroying the economy down there, the best they'll manage is a shack in the Yukon.

At least weed will be legal here next year, smoke into oblivion and wait out the storm, move back when if/when it's safe again.

None whatsoever. He is not required by law to put it in blind trust.

Well yeah until it causes flippers in newborns or kills patients. But beyond that nothing to worry about.

 

[twinrider1]

Don't run a crook?

Yep. Look, I'm not a Trump fan. I don't think anyone would be surprised to find out Trump hired non-union/illegal construction workers or took deductions he didn't earn. But I don't find those as offensive as Hillary's handling of Benghazi and her lax email security.

 

[Mai72]

Lol, get used to 35-40% increase in imported goods.

Once the Mexicans start going back home, enjoy your huge increases in produce.

You have stocks? A 401k? Enjoy diminished returns. Much much lower.

Enjoy limited free speech. Critize king Trump? That will cost you 5 years in jail.

Well maybe you've noticed Eski has just been parroting DNC talking points for the last couple months? He's probably a government contractor, so I'm not going to hold it against him. I mean yeah, some people here look at Eski like their god, but he has a pretty strong blind spot, which is he will always believe in data if it's coming from the DC/Virginia establishment, and discounts it if it's anti-establishment. The fact that he didn't take the Brexit vote into his data samples should tell you that sometimes being willfully blind to data that doesn't conform to your views can backfire.

How about sneak into Mexico as ILLEGALS and then scream "racist", "xenophobic" if you get into immigration trouble. LOL.

Won't that be easy to prove conflict of interest?

I do know a lot about China. So yeah, fock off prick. You have lost. You have dismissed the plebes too long and now you paid for it.
