No, he didnt. He turned it over to a blind trust.
And Trump has done, not said, done what to distance himself from his organizations.

Certainly didn't start out well.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. He certainly hasn't done most of what he said he'd do in almost any context or situation.

Meanwhile, we continue to cover his expenses for vacationing how much compared to any other president.

Conservatives have no legs to stand on left. Trump has knocked them all down. It's almost like he is the ultimate Dem plant.

Fiscal conservatives? Lol ya right.
Social conservatives? Maybe, but not when it comes to their personal lives, just others.

Mental conservatives? Well, you got me there guys....

Also, how do we know how rich he is? I haven't seen tax returns or other financial disclosures.

Correct, which we we're assured it would happen. He's so full of shit, it makes waste water facilites look like diapers.

Then why did Trump say he wasn't going to benefit from this tax cut, and in fact say it was going to cost him money? Please tell us.
If actually commented on that stating it was false. But I'm not his cpa so I don't know for sure, nor do I care.

I don't care about his wealth, I do, however, care that he lied about him benefiting.
Actually, those go hand in hand at this point. Because he lies about what he does, who he does it with, and why he does it.

Also, promised to release tax returns. Haven't seen them yet.

We begin:

Er, I didn't. Did I?

And so:
And second, why would he destroy the very thing that made his wealth?

The Trump organization does business in 25 countries lol

Mmkay...no president has been as wealthy as Trump, therefore no other tax cut for the rich has benefited anyone as much as Trump.

So, if as you say you don't care, why keep bringing it up?

I'm trying to participate in the discussion. Everything I said was relevant.
Except that is is meaningless because we have no idea as to his actual wealth. Taking anything he has put forward at face value seems... odd, given that he is a known liar and con artist.

Well shit. It may be true then he didnt benefit from the real estate legislation. Maybe he didnt lie afterall?

Given the structure of the tax cuts in general it's hard to imagine that anybody in the rich investor class will not benefit. It was obviously designed for their benefit with little sweeteners for the rabble to keep them pacified.

HaHa HaHa! Even you know when given the choice to tell the truth or lie, Trump will always choose to lie. It's just that you are ok with him lying compulsively.

I expect Mueller will know (or does already). So hopefully we'll find out.

Should be exciting.

Agree. I personally think the likelihood of proof of collusion is slim to none, but I admit there may be other things. As I have said several times I look forward to the findings.

You say "It was obviously designed for their benefit", yet 1. we dont know Trumps actual net worth, and 2. it benefits small investors as well. I understand you dont like Trump so your first inclination is to view any legislation through those judgemental eyes, but its sad you cant even acknowledge it DOES in fact benefit smaller investors as well. Really, it just makes you look like a shill.

That's one of the the sweeteners buying complicity. Half of America has no investments at all-

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/13/her...have-nothing-at-all-saved-for-retirement.html

Trump's actual net worth is immaterial. It's obviously sufficiently large for him to live the life.

The whole exercise is one more run at bankrupting the govt for that trickle down feeling...
