The future of the Trump political dynasty on the ballot

[reedak]

1. ...Four years ago, the Trump children followed President Donald Trump’s cannonball into American politics, making their own ripples along the way.

With zero political experience, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner traded New York business high society for White House jobs. Kushner took charge of seemingly everything. Ivanka Trump met with world leaders alongside her father. Donald Trump Jr. took a page from his father’s playbook, leveraging a legion of social media fans to become a revered MAGA troll who traveled the country whipping up crowds — and raising questions about his political ambitions. His girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, left her Fox News gig to become a full-time cheerleader, campaigner and fundraiser for the president.

Back in New York, Eric Trump defended the Trump Organization as it faced legal scrutiny over its bookkeeping practices. Meanwhile, his wife, Lara Trump, became a popular Trump campaign spokesperson, stirring up chatter that she might run for office one day.

Now, in the final stretch of the election, the Trump clan has been on a mission to save this iteration of the family venture: cultural warriors, GOP takeover artists, and, perhaps, a budding political dynasty. In a frenzied tour across battleground states, Trump’s family members are making a personal pitch to voters that it’s not just their father who should stay in power, it’s them as well....

Few have benefited more from Trump’s political ascent than his children and their partners. The perch of the White House has exposed the Trump kids to Republican politicians, donors and voters. It fostered potential political aspirations, while giving the family company greater global exposure and contacts. It also, of course, created numerous questions about conflicts of interest....

Financially, Trump’s four years in the White House have offered a lifeline for parts of his family businesses. Trump’s D.C. hotel has been a hotspot for Republicans, foreign governments and conservative organizations, generating tens of millions in revenue. And following Trump’s upset win in 2016, donors and wealthy Republicans rushed to join some of Trump’s resorts, like Mar-a-Lago, which hiked its membership fee. Separately, Trump’s frequent travel to his own properties has funneled millions in government spending to the Trump Organization....

2. US voters got more than they bargained for in 2016. Besides voting for one man, they discovered they had voted a political dynasty into power. It is akin to "buying one, getting one free" in a sales promotion. They rejected the "great deal" in 2020 after they found out they had been conned for the last four years. Unfortunately, due to the flaws of American democracy, chances are high for political con artists to emerge time and again to entice voters into getting "two for the price of one" in their four-yearly "sales promotion".

Trump's children are fools. There is little chance of a Trump dynasty.
Trump will die nasty. He has lived pretty nasty as well.

Like Rome. The empire will collapse from the weight of the idiots.

Who was this guy and why did Obama give him $1.7 billion dollars in cash? Furthermore, why did Americans during the Trump administration kill him?

 

[Gabriel_Bell]

The US seized Iranian money sent by the Shah's government to purchase weapons. The US has an obligation to RETURN this money, and to pay interest on from 1979 to the present at the going rate.

The going rate has risen greatly and by now the interest on this money is already more than the amount seized. So it is in the interest of the US to pay back the money and avoid the cost of additional interest at present higher rates.

It is that simple. So now you can just STFU about this.

Obama seized the Shah's money after 30 years of being tied up in American courts and gave it to the terrorist savages who had wickedly overthrown the Shah. Significantly, Obama seized the money that had been tied up in courts for more than 30 years and gave the money to the terrorists just weeks before the SCOTUS finally ruled that the money belonged to Iranian terror victims, not the terrorists in Iran. Now Obama has egg on his face, and worse.

You are wrong. Obama did not donate $1.7 billion of his own money. He took money that was not his and gave it to terrorists who were not supposed to get it.

The contracts agreed to when the US accepted to hold the money as an advance payment say that the Iranians are indeed supposed to get their money back. It was Iran's money. And by returning it, billions of dollars of interest will not need to be paid. You are simply ignorant and make no sense.

Go have a conversation with a snake, already.

First, that is the same money the SCOTUS ruled did not belong to the terrorists but to American victims of Iranian terror. Secondly, the Shah's money never belonged to the illegitimate thugs who overthrew his regime.

It was Iranian money confiscated under sanctions. Try to keep up.

Where do you think the money came from if not from the Shah which money the SCOTUS ruled belongs to American victims of Iranian terror not to lying mass-murdering Iranian terrorist barbarian savcages.

If the scotus ruled that and it was a matter of law, it would never have happened.
They can have their collective opinion but it's not law in this instance. That's proven by the fact Obama ignored them.
What part do you not understand?

It did happen. Obama sent two planeloads of cash to the terrorists in January 2016 as part of the Democrat deal with the terrorists. SCOTUS ruled in April 2016 that the money did not belong to the terrorists but to the American victims of Iranian terror.
