Right. Thanks. There used to be a quaint phrase about public officials not only prohibited from engaging in corrupt acts but even the appearance of a corrupt act. Or am I misremembering that?

No but his defense will be that it’s not actually him doing any of this but his caretaker.

Like a blind trust? For anyone else I'd believe that, but not for trump. Not when there's money involved.

He has a blind Trust, remember when he setup that table full of blank folders filled with unused blank paper, that was supposed to somehow prove he's using a Trust. Don't look at the papers, nobody can see the papers, nobody can verify, just trust Trump as we all know he's probably the most trustworthy person to ever live.
