He has spent one out of every three days as president visiting one of his luxury resorts, hotels or golf courses. He has leveraged his powerful international platform to promote his developments dozens of times. And he has directed millions of dollars from U.S. taxpayers to his businesses around the globe. In three years in the White House, Donald Trump has accomplished something no president before him has done: fusing his private business interests with America’s highest public office. www.politico.com/news/2020/01/20/trump-businesses-empire-tied-presidency-100496

I am not on this forum every day, but I do not recall any forum member thinking that McConnell should stay on the job. I think setting a max age on federal elected officials is a good idea and would support it. I think most citizens would vote (if ever given the opportunity) for term limits for Congress. It's almost 1 PM and time for your nappy time Mister.

Hey Gandy, did you make all that up by yourself....
The U.S. trade with China is part of a complex economic relationship. In 1979, the U.S. and China reestablished diplomatic relations and signed a bilateral trade agreement. This gave a start to a rapid growth of trade between the two nations: from $4 billion (exports and imports) that year to over $750 billion in 2022

Isn't that a good thing. How many people had jobs and paid in taxes during those 4 years. How much tax money was paid in by everyone involved ?

The Foreign Emoluments Clause applies to federal officials, including the president, prohibiting them from accepting money or gifts from foreign governments unless they receive permission from Congress. (Of course, Congress never gave Trump permission to keep foreign emoluments because he never bothered to ask.) Trump violated both Emoluments Clauses from day one, in part because he never truly relinquished his businesses, and in fact could “withdraw profits” from his not-so-blind trust whenever he pleased. This presented ongoing conflicts of interest. For example, the governor of Maine stayed at the Trump International Hotel in DC on the Maine taxpayers’ dime. This would certainly seem to violate the Domestic Emoluments Clause. And then there were the Saudi lobbyists, bankrolled by their government, who also paid for rooms at the Trump International Hotel, spending almost $300,000 in three months — an ostensible breach of the Foreign Emoluments Clause. Evidently, Trump’s businesses continually raked in money from constitutionally prohibited sources.

There's no confusion. Just about everyone (except for a few conspiracy spouting, right wing Magats around here) is totally fed up with the current state of the political system. The overhaul more commonly referred to as "draining the swamp" never happened. We all knew that it was BS. The career criminals governing in Washington need to have term limits imposed. Not likely to happen.

At least when McConnell's brain stops working....he stops talking.
The question you should be asking is: "Why is it we are left to choose between these two Thieving Narcissists."
