    I do wonder if he bought Intel stock after saying that, knowing he’ll say the opposite next week and sell it right back.

      Or, he has some inside information that the Intel CEO is going to resign and wants to pretend he has that kind of power.

      I do not wonder anymore because he and his little band of insider traders have done this many times already (when they’re not too busy abusing minors).

    Trump is highly conflicted on the Epstein files and needs to remove himself from all influence over the case.

      How is he conflicted? He knows he’s in them and doesn’t want them released, so he’s just going to pull his usual go to of “deflection” and “change the subject” until people forget.

        He’s definitely not conflicted with how he’s going to handle the situation until people forget about it, but he’s got a pretty severe conflict of interest in that he’s likely a party to the criminal activity outlined in those files.

    Republicans from 2011:

    [Republican Congressman Paul Ryan] told “Fox News Sunday.” “We shouldn’t be picking winners or losers in Washington. We should be setting the conditions for economic growth so that the private sector can create jobs. Washington is not good at picking winners and losers, so we shouldn’t try.” GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain echoed the advice. “The government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers because most of the time they pick the losers,” he said.

      One thing I’ve learned in the past 10 years is that Republicans always abandon their previous “core principles” with astonishing ease to chase the Party Line in goose step formation. Principles are never important to them. Only power. The real goals of the GOP are identical to INGSOC.

    Jimmy… Intel, has been an embarrassment to this great company. People are saying, folks are, everyone is saying he’s just, the worst. A travesty. Of the highest order. It’s as if he was trying to push the market under. Like a. Well I should, people are saying I should ask him to step down but to them I say I won’t I might suggest it, humbly, in the press. But I won’t ask him to. He will though. We’ve spoken and he told me “Mr. President Mr. president, what can I do?” and I tell him you got a move the supply chain out of Taiwan. But he doesn’t understand that so he won’t.

    I am calling on Traitorapist Trump to resign immediately, with the same authority over Trump as Trump has over Intel.

    Imagine if president Clinton called for Trump to resign from his company back in the day when they briefly met during their visits to Epstein.

    I don’t think that’s how oligarchy works. The president is the servent of the billionaire CEOs, not the other way around. Know your place, dipshit. Did he not read the terms of selling his soul?
