And he's going to be very busy, what with a country to run as well...

the investigative reporters are going to be busy!

i think he's just decided to use Hillary's policies as we know he has none of his own.

He's also got a problem with his businesses as I read that under the Constitution The President is not allowed to earn money overseas as it may be deemed to influence his decisions (can't accept overseas honours either so bang goes his Knighthood). His problem is that he has hotels & golf courses overseas and money from those could be deemed to fall foul of this rule.

Now if he truly puts his business interests into a blind trust he may be okay but his comments so far indicate he intends his children to run them and that does not seem to meet the blind trust rules.

^ Yeah, I caught a bit of an interview, one of his spawn said that he would have nothing to do with running the business if he was elected, and that the children would run it. The interviewer said that even in a blind trust, they would have to step aside as it's a conflict of interests, the spawn said something stupid like but he wouldn't know, the interviewer told him that's not how it works. lol.

He's likely going to try and give them jobs in Washington (even though there's a nepotism act), so it's gonna be interesting how that, and everything else works out. Honestly, there are plus points, but the minuses are so many, that it's utterly ridiculous

Think he might be better if his kids have jobs guessing he is going to be more willing to listen to them that some faceless beaurecrat when they tell him he cant do something

Funny how poeple are having a go at Trump for not being as extreme as he was painted.

He was elected based on his extreme.

I feel sorry for the parents of Khizr Khan, the Muslim soldier who died protecting their country who Trump made those crass and baseless assumptions about their religion. I wonder how welcome they feel in their own country when the man who insulted them is now the most powerful man in the world? 2016 is the year democracy died and was replaced by reality TV.

take anything the bbc are saying with a pinch of salt...
with business interests as large as his there will always be numerous lawsuits (especially usa!) ANY large/national business will be defending lawsuits on a daily basis.

True, but between 3500 and 4000 (even if it is over 30 years) is pretty ridiculous. I wonder how many are frivolous. lol.

^ His style has also been to issue lawsuits to crush people with claims against him. He's a bully. Wonder what odds the bookies are offering on him being impeached during his first term.
