    It's not really odd that he could turn a long career including being the VP to one of the most popular presidents in recent history into some big bucks.

    Obama was one of the most popular presidents? He got murdered in both midterms and polled under 50% for majority of his term?

    Stay tuned for the offshore bank accounts and 50 millions dollars. Why would you need offshore accounts when your income is coming from book deals and speaking gigs?

    I'll try and stay tuned, but it's difficult. See I'm already staying tuned to the Hillary emails and Benghazi. But I'll try and and stay tuned for this.

    I'm curious. Do you know if Biden diversed his business affairs as the other presidents NOT NAMED TRUMP did? If so, would the shell companies bank accounts be a part of that?

    I don't know, and am interested in that.

    You know biden has released his tax returns for 2 decades and has no offshore accounts right ? Trump had chinnese bank accounts not biden. Youre falling into the gop trap of lies

    "In October, China’s Trademark Office granted provisional approval for 16 trademarks to Ivanka Trump Marks LLC, bringing to 34 the total number of marks China has greenlighted this year, according to the office’s online database. "

    and . . . so?

    Apparently Trump and his family used their office to benefit their business prospects and are continuing to make use of that relationship.

    that's an inference, certainly.

    It is. However, we know that Trump and his family were not divested, held office while dealing with China to their personal benefit. We know that Trump's term saw the trade deficit with China increase, and didn't see a positive benefit to the US.

    So I used that as the foundation for my inference.

    It's okay, despite appearances, he's not just a dip$hit shill, he's a self-proclaimed moderate Democrat, so everything he posts is actually for the good of the party...

    Article is from 2018, when Trump was president, and therefore he was in office.

    Democrats did not investigate his daughter on this. Nor did they investigate their daughers and Jareds pay for green card scheme they sold to the Chinese elite for 500k a pop.

    Again brings me back to the unanswered question I had before - why two different standards?

    Why do Republicans go after Hunter but not Ivanka and Jared?

    I think that's a fair question to ask in this thread

    Well, since she was the president's family and unlike Hunter, she was an active member of his administrative team while in office as was her husband, there is no need for a separate thread.
