As COVID-19 Deaths Near 80,000, Trump Touts His Private Golf Business

Many were appalled. Besides demonstrating an astounding lack of sensitivity, Trump’s post highlighted his continuing conflict of interest between serving his business and the American people.

No tests are available for us. No tracing is being implemented. You have done nothing to make it safe for us to go out. The virus has killed 80,125 people so far, 2000 more will be dead by tomorrow. But by all means promote your golf course

Again, Trump is pimping his private businesses in his capacity as POTUS, a clear Emolument Clause violation, if not just a simple example of his rank corruption.

The presidency really is just your side job isn’t it?

You are not supposed to use the official govt.Twitter account to shill for your properties.

Speaking of draining the swamp.

Oh nothing to see here, just the president of the USA promoting one his own businesses while still in office.
