What I have learned is that all of us who did not vote for Trump are agog that he is so brazenly using the office to advance his own business interests, and that evidently the people who voted for him are not at all concerned about it.
Where do we go from that?

I swear the man is the biggest moron who can play the people like a fiddle.
Followers? Look at who I am nominating
Haters? Let me tweet something outrageous so that you focus on that instead of the actual issue that I fucked up on.

Sadly, he's going to get away with this bullshit.

I don't know that people would be pleased with the alternative option as Pence for president, either. Either way, it's lose/lose.

The Constitution prevents the acceptance of money, gifts and business transactions with foreign governments.
Sadly, there has been little evidence of him separating himself from his business dealings with the governments of other countries, as indicated not only by what is public knowledge but his own Twitter account. This would be reason for removal from office.
I know there are some holding on to hope that a recount will change the vote. I think most don't actually believe that but with all these accusations flying around, I think settling those issues is a good thing. Sucks for those who have to do the work, but important to the process.
Once again, I am still waiting for him to actually read the US Constitution. I know I had not read it, along with the amendments since high school, but I took the time to re-read it all last week. It didn't take long. I did look at a few simple analyses as well. Also did not take long. A few minutes away from Twitter could possibly give him a great deal of information about the actual government he is going to be leading. Ahh... but who cares? Just make it up as you go along, right? Constitution snmonstitution.
Have tried hard to look at this one little issue from a conservative view point because apparently if you are not a right wing conservative today, you are a liberal. But even looking at this issue as a right wing conservative (hey, I'm trying), I'm not seeing a clear cut out from my albeit simplistic reading of the US Constitution.
