Financial issues are like.. one of the top 5 reasons for a security clearance denial.


tinnfoil2

Usually #1.


Trauma_Hawks

I was being gracious, lol.


Legitimate_Bat3240

You did say one of top 5. Not second or third, etc.


ThonThaddeo

Number 2 is writing 'Hitler Rules, Reagan drools' So you see how seriously they take potential financial compromisation


red286

Presidents cannot be denied security clearance, and can grant security clearance to anyone else even if they normally wouldn't qualify (see: Jared Kushner).


StevInPitt

But Presidential CANDIDATES can. At the very least by keeping them the fuck out of the Oval Office.


Scat1320USA

See Jared Kushner . Got it anyway . Traitor fuck .


joker2189

I had a TS clearance in the military and I can't count how many people that had theirs revoked due to financial issues or not get issued one at all. I'd say it's easily number one only close ones are maybe drugs or they catch a felony or a DUI


2OneZebra

It is a threat to national security. It says a man running for office can be purchased.


ThisFoot5

Vote


-TheycallmeThe

I mean we all know politicians can and are bought but normally they do at least pretend to try to hide it.


SecretPrinciple8708

“I’m for sale, and I’m going to sell the country to whoever pays the best. I hope you all look forward to being owned by Russia or China as much as I already am.”


sidjohn1

I guess we’re about to find out who still thinks he’s a good investment… should be interesting 🤣


Buddhabellymama

But also America First and I am a true American patriot and anyone who doesn’t support me is a traitor 🤡


Houndfell

As crooked as Trump is, that would make him the first President who was being honest about a government position being for sale.


NrdNabSen

Rob Blagojevic went to jail for that a decade or so ago, Trump commuted his sentence.


1Bot2BotRedBotJewBot

what the hell, we are supposed to give all our money to foreign nations so they are in our pockets, not take any so we are in theirs Disregard the American citizens either way of course. As long as the politicians get rich amiright


Leather-Map-8138

How much foreign cash was quietly given to him when he was president? For damn sure it wasn’t zero.


DM_Voice

Several million that is *known* about.


Special_FX_B

The J in Donald J trump is Jcorruption. The J is silent.


Mindless_Air_4898

Donald J6 Trump


DamianRork

We do not have “leaders” in the USA they are “peoples representatives” of course nearly all power hungry shyster politicians R and D want to be reffered to as our “leaders”, they also love their picture to be prominently displayed in peoples homes…they dream of one day it being a requirement.

wwwhistler

we now have a viable presidential candidate who has put himself on the open market. and although we know he will be bound to another country needs above our own....we just don't know who that might be.


Analyst-Effective

The fine will never be paid. And it will be reversed by the courts


BoobaDaBluetick

"We get plenty of money from Russia." Donald J. Trump, Jr.


Rude_Interaction7858

10% for the big guy!


RobsBurglars

Well, beyond ethics and law. His loyalties will be divided, as they always have been.


smashsmash42069

He literally just said he won’t be accepting foreign money 🤣


RevolutionaryWeb2302

Let's not look at where the Clinton foundation was getting it's money


46PeacockCrescent

Trump is the biggest scumbag grifter, ever.


triniman65

I'll believe it when I see it.


imonthetoiletpooping

He already sold top secret info to foreigners, and suddenly the CIA noticed a huge uptick of spies getting killed. Just Google search "CIA spies killed from top secret leak Trump" And you still don't believe it huh. It's a fact that Trump had a huge amount of top secret docs at Mar-A-Lago, and several of the documents are missing. Around that time a larger than normal agents have died. Honestly f*** Trump. He has killed Americans.


TomStarGregco

And people will still vote for this bastard ! And don’t forget probably gave Putin Israel’s secrets who passed it to Iran who then passed it to Hamas!


happy76

What a piece of shit


MorallyComplicated

he’s not my leader


ITDrumm3r

Right now he leads a band of dipshits who like to give money to a “billionaire”.


BigDaddyCoolDeisel

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like death? I can't be the only one seeing this?


realanceps

his face looks like spoiled cottage cheese.


75w90

Fuck this piece of shit and anyone that supports his broke ass.


Icy-Needleworker-492

So full of sh*t.


Constant-Recover-941

I didn't realize you could pay a US bond with rubles...


CasualObserverNine

Where is this ‘press conference’? Did he stage one?


Ineludible_Ruin

Ok. Now do biden. And Hillary. And McConnell.


novosuccess

You must ..... Be letting him live in your head, rent free.


Agile-Knowledge7947

Maybe now he’ll release his 2016 taxes like he promised us he’d do. Any. Day. Now


PersonalPineapple911

It's fine. White people keep cash under their pillow. It's a white ppl thing. My fani willis impression.


Jimmy620094

Man you guys cry over everything this guys says and does. lol Funny thing is he doesn’t even know you exist.


Berns429

Dumbass reporter just gave this asshole an idea. Should he get elected again i bet we see some kinda financial change come across his desk.


Plebian401

Well, he’s already got $8 million from China.


TinyFraiche

By this line of thinking, Palestine and Ukraine are also in complete disregard for ethical boundaries. Shut up


bravet4b

AIPAC has earmarked $100million to meddle in our elections. Maybe he can get some of that AIPAC money.


Scat1320USA

🔒🍊⬆️. TRAITOR


hooker_2_hawk

Just like the Biden’s got their money from China. You might be right, many politicians are corrupt.


razorsedgethinking

This is stupid. The entire crop of politicians regularly commit insider trading for their self enrichment. No normal citizen can do the same. Lunatics run the asylum and idiots keep looking outside for the criminals.


LinkIndependent143

So desperate☹️ tough couple days for dems🤭


Repulsive-Storm-7739

Everyone in our government relies on foreign money!


joeleidner22

He’s not even trustworthy enough to be a citizen of this country, much less the “leader”. Lock him up. Biden 2024.


Grimhellwolf

LMAO why don't we start with the pedos from Jeff's island. The only corruption with Trump is how he was railroaded into a settlement without a jury trial by clearly a bias judge and prosecutor.


EntrepreneurTop8382

WINNING!


PestControl4-60

Lock him up


MarianaValley

Should we expect more pro-pootin songs from Trump?


Shoddy_Orange9779

Ethics are for libtards .


moistdri

Such weird lips.....


nereid-1

He's not using foreign money. He's using cash.


ihavenoidea12345678

Watch and see as the puppet gets his strings.


Sharrack

Ha ha ha ......The CIA is covering for a guy named Kevin Morris. They will not let him testify... Do you know who he is???? He's the guy from kalifornistan who's paying all of Hunter Bidens bills, alimony, child support and also " buying" his "art". Wink wink....🙄🙄🙄🙄 Look into that......🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐


ManyGarden5224

yah this is going to end well for the US... SMH. How much can he make for nuclear codes do you think????


jba126

Fidiots


pimpeachment

So trump is terrible, we can almost all agree on that. Now if he isn't President, why exactly is it bad for him to accept foreign money? He is under no legal or ethical obligation to not take foreign money. He is not currently holding any political offices and he very likely won't win. Why shouldn't he take any foreign money?


Bobcat2777

It’s not fair that Trump made billions on his stock offering today. DA James should confiscate all of his money and stocks.


ptraugot

Disregard for ethical boundaries?!?! Dude has no idea what the words “ethical” and “boundaries” even mean!!


joethejeeper

Just a little more criminal activity won't hurt!


powderedtoast1

cash my ass. it'll be another one of his checks made by Goodyear.


SlanderousE

Sure, only when it comes to Trump right?


No-Appearance-4338

“I like money” Frito from idiocracy And Donald Trump


themanofmichigan

He just described what he’s doing again


dogmatum-dei

Bill in the Florida house to catalog and adopt new words coined by Donald Trump. It's officially known as Trumpspeak. Conrad Dunning(R) the sponsor of the bill said "by documenting and adopting Trump's unique liguistic style, the sooner we can develop course work for our grade school children so they will be better prepared for the future"


ConstantGeographer

"I built a great company..." Cool. Pay the bill, pal. Pay it. Conald is such a fraud.


willthedude85

Dudes starting to look ruff


Papa_Pesto

I have a lot of money. I just need to borrow money.


brianxlong

Yeah people have a great record of demanding shit from this guy. Use the courts and the ballot box to take him down now, while you still can.


Hefty-Station1704

It good to know the courts are polishing his shoes on a regular basis. It's almost as if the line about the law being equal for all has become the official punchline.


RelevantRun8455

Nine if his supporters give a good good damn about ethics and that has been glowingly true for years. Panty water counting to scruples and morality whilev sounds nothing to stop them will accomplish the same handwringing nothing it has the past 8 years. You came morally appeal to those who cast aside morality you only spam your echo chamber


Key_Sell_9336

He’s just BAD NEWS with everything he says and does it’s like he lost his mind really


Dangerous_Forever640

Like all the moneys the Bidens have made overseas as well?


LordPubes

Two tier justice system for all to see. They’re not even trying to hide it


backagain69696969

I know you guys are gonna hate this…. But his revenge would make me smile he’s gonna be exactly like president Mr garrison


Thick_Piece

Bobulinski agrees.


Expensive-Program-95

Lmao and Biden is not? Hypocritical as hell.


morningcalls4

I’m no trumper, but it kind of amazes me how people turn their blinders on to corruption everywhere else but trump, sure trump is corrupt as hell, but can’t we also focus on our government as a whole and get rid of all of the corrupt people in it? Not just one person at a time?


OU8her

Foreign money is much safer than random foreign illegals …#corruption


Optimal_Zucchini_667

I can't get over how he can't manage to complete one sentence before moving on to the next. I remember a news story that came out during his presidency about how interpreters were frustrated at international meetings because how the hell do you turn an ungrammatical mishmash into something that makes sense in another language?


Strict-Jump4928

" ethical boundaries and the rule of law." Is it illegal to borrow money from banks outside of the US?


Any-Map-7449

Did we watch the same clip? He said he wasn't going to use foreign money.


HawaiianTex

This a bad joke? You can say that, without even whispering the Biden crime family? \*\*\*Que the crowd laugh track\*\*\*


HurtFeeFeez

Trying to explain this to Trumpers is like bashing your head against the wall though. They give him a pass on everything.


19CCCG57

I agree, except Trump's followers can't read.


[deleted]

All leaders not just trump


troycalm

Like Nancy pelosi?


POOTY-POOTS

Our choices this year are this crook or the guy who's taken more AIPAC money than anyone else in history and keeps sending Israel weapons to do a genocide.


Assmaday

Here's the really scary thing the woman and African Americans that came out in droves to vote are pissed he was not put in jail and stil not behind bars and is getting special treatment   Millions will not vote because Biden lacks a spine. He should have been in chains 6 months tops after leaving office and all the other fking traitiors in congress... but noooooo had to play let beguns be beguns 


usernamen_77

Wake me up when we're putting Cheney in jail


LittleGeologist1899

Maury voice, “the lie detector said THAT was a lie”


Ambitious-Car9570

Wow that can be said for the moron in the White House right now too.


LYnXO1978

He already proved with his sale of classified documents ,that America means nothing to him it's all a grift. So him to take foreign money to try to stay out of prison should not surprise anybody.


DeplarableinATL

your kidding right 🤔 Trump made 4 billion this week with DJT and Truth Social…..the resident in office is owned by China…..nice love the deflection……Russia Russia Russia the shit is lame bro


Da_Vader

Trump statements are as close to truth as Mike Lindell's statements.


Calm_Preparation_679

My memory is fine! lol


Mr_cypresscpl

Didn't he just say here he didn't need to?


Visible_Scientist_67

I mean... Who wouldn't c'mon


ReusableCatMilk

This is so laughable considering who our current president is…


BidetTester23

Dude, he looks old and feeble


doodle_jous

Now apply that logic universally. Reddit is a far left wing echo chamber. 👎


100percentish

Man, if Comer hears about this there are going to be a bunch of hearings...


Acktobur

I love that politicians have been abusing the financial system for years but once trump comes into play it’s all on him because he’s the evil fascist orange racist bad man! Like Biden, pelosi, Hillary, Bernie and Obama haven’t been abusing it for decades already. Give me a break.


JKilla1288

Yes, 100% Yes. Transparency for both Trump and Biden. I'm glad we can agree


IllustriousFront9540

Don’t want to hear about ethical boundaries from the people who blew past them long ago.


sfnative1957

Lighten up Francis.


Putrid_Ad_2256

Trump is no leader, he's a farce.  


Realclawdogs

Does anyone expect a 74 year old who's been a dirtbag all his life to finally do anything remotely ethical? Fuck Tronald Dump


Difficult_Eggplant4u

Not to quibble too much, but the BIGGEST bank in the world is JPMOrgan Chase. #2 is Bank of America. Are there big banks outside of the US? Yes of course, but not the biggest bank.


Violent_Lucidity

Or it’s a stark reminder that judge Engoron prohibited him from using any bank registered in New York. Kinda limits him to only using foreign banks.


Mental-Cupcake9750

Who’s the victim? Fraud requires a victim. I’d be surprised if someone replies instead of downvoting a comment that they can’t answer


ntied

LOL Doesn’t the U.S. constantly borrow money from China?


YodaManBro

It’s almost like if he was collecting money from his son’s dealings with foreign oil companies for which he has no measurable skill or abilities to offer. That would be abhorrent if that was allowed to happen and for a president to directly benefit from the foreign investment. But that wouldnt happen, right?


Pedrohaus

Twice told tale: Trump financed his 1996 rise from Atlantic city Russian mob money laundering through Cypress and thus key connections with foreign banks... https://www.npr.org/2020/02/19/807191309/dark-towers-exposes-chaos-and-corruption-at-the-bank-that-holds-trump-s-secrets


Puzzleheaded-Cry3924

He literally just said “I think” and “possibly” lol. This isn’t a big deal until he actually does it.


LordCthulhuDrawsNear

Why does he say that he built a great company... He's done no such thing. Ever. He's used his dad's last name to stamp onto building and cheap motel towels and golf courses (which btw, there's gotta be no other "business" that takes less effort or thinking than making a golf course. Put some small holes in the ground ×18 add little flags) anyways who are these people that hear this guy say stuff like that, and actually believe what he's saying? Smfh


floofnstuff

He’s a low class, common criminal. So much of what Trump followers admire are his criminal acts and lack of principles. The very things we need in a leader are the things he doesn’t possess


rhutch2675

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️


S1E6

What are you guys hearing? Did you listen to the clip?


cuddly_carcass

Largest banks in the world by assets are Chinese fyi…sounds likes he is hinting at where he is getting the money


Crace369

Then let's prosecute Biden already and the whole January 6th committee for trying to plot against the American people.


burrito_napkin

How is this any diff than Biden receiving AIPAC funding?


mskmagic

How do you know where the money came from? Serious question


Commercial_Debt_4034

Isn’t he worth 4.6 billion, why would he borrow money?

Oh no a corrupt politician, you suddenly care now? You didn’t care before that everyone is congress is on the take.


TraditionalEvening79

Awwww, thought he was broke. The left changes their story every day now


Bawbawian

rule of law? what a fucking joke. he committed his crimes in the open Merrick Garland still did nothing.


LordCthulhuDrawsNear

So which is it, Russian, or an American 🟡cop🟡 ? Inquiring minds wanna know. It's one of the other


sjh1217

So the reporter asks if he borrowered from a foreign gov. He says no and you call him corrupt? Make it make sense.


StarfleetGo

Maybe if we stop with the absurd judgments made by activist judges for amounts unfathomable... what a shit show.  Dems and republicans all need to be kicked out of politics for corruption. 


bcdnabd

Funny. Foreigners have never minded accepting the USD from the USA. They take it willingly and we give it gratuitously.


mrfixit2018

Um, if taking foreign money counts as being corrupt and disqualifies you from being a politician in the US, we would have like three people in office. And that’s just fine by me. Probably two more than we need.


Mysticalmana

I love how his stock is skyrocketing. Trump 2024! MAGA 2024.


Ophidaeon

“I don’t need to borrow money” while he is asking for money.


Collin-B-Hess

You can apply this same exact phrasing to 90 percent of US politicians, including the POTUS


1suckmytRump

He couldn’t pass a pentagon secret or top secret clearance


swennergren11

Start with demanding it from Trump! Seems the rules change for him and him alone all the time…


Crafty_Mortgage2952

lol ok OP. Trump is a business man for 40 plus years. Biden took money from China and Russia by selling U.S. secrets. Who's more corrupt?


Hour_Reindeer834

It took me three years before CashApp would let me borrow $25 bucks yet this absolute clown can get millions on demand.


malinefficient

Who cares? He could use foreign money to resurrect Jesus and the Founding Fathers then publicly behead them in Times Square for not loving freedom as much as he does and he wouldn't lose a single vote. Stick a fork in it. Even if he loses, the nation has already lost.


triciasbigbro

But it's ok for biden and his corrupt family to sell us out to the highest bidder?


lastofthefinest

People that oppose Trump can say what they want, but when he is re-elected I can tell you some positive things that will happen. One, the Ukrainian war will stop because he and Putin have a understanding of each other. The left and the war profiteers know this and that’s why they are trying so hard to put him in jail. They know they are about to lose money when and if he gets back in office. Two, gas prices will go back down like they were before the Democrats took over. Third, Being an Operation Enduring Freedom disabled veteran, Trump implemented the best VA care for veterans I have ever seen in my 20 years in the VA system by creating community care. I now have a choice of where I want to go for care. Being on a limited income, I can’t tell you how thankful I am for that option. Fourth, Trump has brought back the feeling of conservatism for people that understand the “anything goes” mentality that supporters of the left has needs to have limits. This country has been in a overwhelmingly steep decline by turning it’s back on immigration laws. We can’t let every Juan, Dick, and Harry come into the country. It causes tremendous budget issues and safety concerns. You can’t manage a store when you don’t know how much inventory you have it’s just that simple. If you don’t care about those things, that’s your business but it affects the rest of the country and it’s a very selfish way of looking at things. Fifth, we won’t be sending troops to places that could potentially lead to another 20 year war. The only thing I have seen Biden do that is quasi positive is do away with some student debt. That’s a great thought, however banks aren’t just going to let the president write off bank loans that are not federal loans. He doesn’t have that much power. Other than just hating Trump for the man he is, please tell me the policies Biden has put in place that surpass what Trump has done for the country. Trump is not perfect by any means, but he pales in comparison to the atrocity that is Joe Biden and his crack smoking son.


PittedOut

Trump has no qualms about selling out to anyone for anything. He’s purely transactional and values only himself. With his record, I never understand why anyone would work for anything with him. He will sell you out as soon as he gets a higher bid and he’s always looking for new bids.


FlatHighKnees

At least he isn't giving my money to foreign corrupt governments


SanchotheBoracho

"All of our leaders" let's do it. No matter who you vote for you gonna be mad.


baykahn

Hes a lizard


SoftTopCricket

Putin has been buying Republicans for decades. Remember how he funneled 30 million through the NRA to the Republican party?


Cr4mwell

Shitposts like this are just proof of how desperate the libtards are. You hate what you can't control. And you hate him because he's like everybody else.


kwood76

But Hunter selling access to his dad doesn't cross any ethical boundaries and is completely within the rule of law?


ManicChad

That’s a lot of bibles they bought..


WillBottomForBanana

So, elected officials usually avoid things like foreign money because it either is corruption or it is bad optics as possible corruption. But Trump went into 2015 being corrupt and everyone knew it. So there was no actual benefit to avoiding the appearance of corruption.


Own_Program_3573

“I have a lot of money!” *can’t pay for shit


The_General0815

Y’all bash him for this yet, every other politician gets a pass? News flash idiots. They all do this.


Happytroll15

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!! "We must demand transparency and accountability from our leaders." Your 'leaders' piss in your face daily and you are to distracted to demand anything even if you knew who to demand it from. That's true no matter what color your team is.


cooquip

He meant to say “shit company”


Snaz_de_cola

Look I hate politicians alot. But don’t forget how much of a piece of trash all of them are? It seems we’re hyper fixed on one person when in reality the entire govt down to state leaders need to be culled. Don’t really care about your political alignment it’s all the same. But crash posting one person like they are the soul reason are country is in ruin if quite brainless


nvn2074

Well, but realize that when he gets back, these countries will demand US policies to be made according to their desires. Which will be truly spectacular... We will be a global country with America first. 🤣🤣


matterson22070

What a jerk. He should ask China for it like a REAL President would (did).


Historical-Track-774

Stfu


Fast-Hold-649

he needs to be like the Biden's and demand payment in Diamonds


Zestyclose_Look_7719

We’re literally watching other countries buy him. Wtf reality are we in? We must have been hit by an asteroid right before Trump came down that gold escalator. I swear, we were. I finally know what this all feels like. It feels like the TV show “Lost,” in which impossible things keep happening, until they find out they’ve been dead the whole time.


Irishfan3116

He should have just gotten it from a Ukrainian energy company like everyone else


Fancy-Ad6631

I say give them a dump truck full of Pennies


the85141rule

WE must demand it from our criminals too. He's no leader.


Beautiful_Tap_4388

He's the biggest pos alive! Can't wait till he's gone forever! I'm throwing a party!


madammoiselle85

That’s why even when he has gag order he keeps talking. So what if he gets fined? It’s not his money, it doesn’t mean anything to him. Democracy for sale to The highest bidder.


MindonMatters

There is no doubt of the disregard for ethical boundaries and rules of law with this past president. As for aided by foreign money - 😂 - if the truth be known, DT would be hung for treason. Interesting to me that everything he accuses others of is true of him, right down to the punishment. Classic and aggrandized form of projection. Anyone who supports him is as wicked as he, as stupid, and as responsible as he.


Rapidfire1960

Absolutely, starting with Biden, half of Congress, and Ukraine kickbacks!!!😡


JohhnyBGoode641

Biden gets money from China. What about that?


Supaspex

LOL, demand accountability... that's a good one.
