So the web of contacts between Russia and members of the Trump administration is pretty thick. (See Chicago Trib – 2017.03.03, New York Times – 2017.03.03 )
And the focus seems to be communications between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Can we move along please? Campaigns are so last year. The election is over. The inauguration? Over. Depending on who you ask, and be careful who you ask, the US has either installed a terrific guy or an unhinged narcissist in the White House. Opinions of President Trump run the gamut. But they are opinions.
So let’s get to the facts. How much is #45, Donald Trump – US President, owned by foreign interests? And specifically, how much is Donald Trump owned by the Russians? The campaign staff, the members of the administration might just be providing cover. The Secret Service might just be providing an extra layer of security.
How much is THE PRESIDENT indebted to foreign interests? We should:
- Insist that he release his income taxes. Or resign.
- Insist that he divest himself of any business interests while President. Or resign.
- Insist that he disclose information consistent with his 44 predecessors. Or resign.
Continuing to focus on past digressions distracts from the now. And now Trump is doing so much to distract us from what is really important in the now. (See also gaslighting – Lauren Duca – Donald Trump is Gaslighting America)
We, the American people, regardless of political affiliation, deserve a President who is not driven by, or beholden to, any foreign interests or business associates. If he wants to remain POTUS, prove it. NOW.
