Three years into his eight year term in office, why does Trump still run a international real estate operation when that conflicts with American foreign policy? What happened to the blind trust that Trump promised, but never delivered, to handle these conflicts of interest between Trump's family business and Trump's foreign policy? For one example, why did protecting Trump Towers Istanbul take precedence over the Syrian Kurds? We will never know because Trump will say he did not think about his portfolio in Turkey when he made his decisions about Turkey. And the Senate will let Trump get away with that conflict of interest.
Trump Assets are in a Revocable, Not Blind, Trust
www.voanews.com/usa/report-trump-assets-revocable-not-blind-trust
Many U.S. presidents have placed their financial holdings in a blind trust that is managed by a trustee without any input from the president. This arrangement is believed to help the president avoid any conflicts of interest between his finances and issues that come across his desk. Donald Trump, however, has avoided calls for him to sell his assets or place them in a blind trust.
The key to the success of a blind trust is that you can, as a public official, make choices that won't have the appearance of being influenced by your holdings - you don't know what those holdings are. Transferring control of the assets solves one problem (management) but doesn't change the fact that Trump still knows what he owns. He knows how his actions, as President, can affect his business interests even if he's no longer in charge. That isn't a problem you can solve by simply turning over the keys.

Quote:1kiki, Trump spun around on the weekend when Turkey came calling about Syria. Trump caught everybody at the Pentagon by surprise when he announced he was moving troops without any explanation of why it is suddenly an emergency. The "why" is his Turkish real estate. He'll deny it, but who believes him? Trump does this kind of emergency spin all the time. For example: Trump suggested he did nothing wrong because Ukraine ultimately received the aid he withheld. But that talking point ignores the fact that aid was only released after the CIA’s top lawyer reportedly made a criminal referral to the DOJ about the July Trump-Zelensky phone call and on the same day House Democrats announced they were opening an inquiry into the matter. If you get caught robbing a bank and decide to leave the cash and make a break for it, that doesn’t mean you didn’t do anything wrong.

Trump's been saying we need to stay out of Syria since 2013; and saying we need to get out of Syria for nearly 2 years.

On The Record: President Trump Vs. Private Citizen Trump On Syria
Trump's criticism of Obama's policy on Syria goes back to 2013. A private citizen at that time, he argued that the U.S. should not get involved in the conflict.
Trump to Withdraw U.S. Forces From Syria, Declaring ‘We Have Won Against ISIS’
Dec. 19, 2018

p-withdrawal.html
The 'intelligence arm' of covert ops, the warhwaks in the State Department, and the military have been countermanding, derailing, and slow-walking Trump's Syria policies his whole administration. (Why do you think he sent Barr and Giuliani all around the globe to do what he was telling his admin to do - to no avail?*)
And while you have literally NOTHING to support your fantasies about a conversation you know absolutely nothing about, I can tell you these FACTS: 1) the very week Turkey and Russia announced that Turkey was going to join Russia's SPFS (SWIFT alternative) Turkey started massing troops on the Syrian border, and 2) the very week the SPFS link-up was connected and tested, Erdogan and Trump talked on the phone.
AT THE TIME, there were somewhat less than 50 US troops in the area of concern. I think w/out the non-military SWIFT bludgeon, Trump had few options left. AFAIK there were 2 choices - increase troops and enter a full-on war with Turkey, or get out of the way.
(*ETA: Do you remember the big hue and cry when Trump gutted the State Department early in his admin? I do. He knew there was a whole cadre of people committed to a Deep State agenda THAT DIDN'T MATCH HIS OWN. Yanno, the Deep State's - RUSSIA!! the bogeyman agenda, the Ukraine proxy-war agenda, the Syria proxy-war agenda ... The problem is, he didn't go deep enough at State, or wide enough to encompass the intel agencies and the Pentagon.)

There’s a Surprisingly Plausible Path to Removing Trump From Office
It would take just three Republican senators to turn the impeachment vote into a secret ballot. It’s not hard to imagine what would happen then.
By JULEANNA GLOVER, November 12, 2019
Juleanna Glover has worked as an adviser for several Republican politicians, including George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft and Rudy Giuliani, and advised the presidential campaigns of John McCain and Jeb Bush.
It’s true that none of the previous Senate impeachments have been conducted via secret ballot. But the Senate’s role in an impeachment is analogous to a U.S. jury, where secret ballots are often used. When Electoral College gridlock has resulted in the House picking the president — the House elected Thomas Jefferson in 1800 and John Quincy Adams in 1824 — that vote has been secret. And, of course, when citizens vote for president, they do so in private.
Trump and those around him seem confident that he won’t lose the 20 Republican senators needed to block a guilty verdict. But it’s not hard to imagine three senators supporting a secret ballot. Five sitting Republican senators have already announced their retirements; four of those are in their mid-70s or older and will never run for office again. They might well be willing to demand secrecy in order to give cover to their colleagues who would like to convict Trump but are afraid to do so because of politics in their home districts. There are also 10 Republican senators who aren’t up for reelection until 2024 and who might figure Trumpism will be irrelevant by then. Senators Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski have been the most vocal Republicans in expressing concerns about Trump’s behavior toward Ukraine. Other GOP senators have recently softened in their defense of him, as well—all before the House has held any public hearings.
GOP strategist Mike Murphy said recently that a sitting Republican senator had told him 30 of his colleagues would vote to convict Trump if the ballot were secret. Former Senator Jeff Flake topped that, saying he thought 35 Republican senators would vote that way.

There should NEVER be a secret ballot.
Please take five seconds to think about how you'd feel if the opposing side was doing something before you agree with anybody on your side that said something is a good idea.
We'd probably cut the arguments in the RWED by half if any one of you nitwits did that.

Specifically, there's nothing like doing things in secret to avoid having to answer to your voters.

Under normal circumstances, that should go without saying.
But it's probably not a bad idea to clarify my point.
Good lookin' out.
