What are the conflict of interest rules for the executive? I mean, does President Trump have to sell off all his companies? -- nm - Mop May 27, 19:23 13
- this assumes he has any real assets, beyond the properties, to begin with. -- nm - senor dentista May 27, 19:32 2
  - I'd be surprised if he didn't. But i wouldn't be surprised if his debts outweighed them. -- nm - Beryllium May 27, 19:34 1
    - if only there were an official document filed annually with the IRS that showed that kind of data -- nm - senor dentista May 27, 19:37
- his stocks and whatever he owns goes into a blind trust while he is in office I believe. -- nm - Remlik May 27, 19:24 4
  - He always swears he doesn't own stock. That's why he claims he isn't beholden to Wall Street. Of course, they underwrite the financing for his build - jnine May 27, 21:35
  - Yeah, that'll happen. -- nm - Mop May 27, 19:26 1

The Tesla Model X is the hatchback looking one, right? It's not on the market, right? Because I'm pretty sure there's one driving around town. - Mop May 27, 18:34 12
- This is the X -- (link) - Beryllium May 27, 18:52 [flickr]

  - Does it end with a jealous husband shooting me dead? - Mop May 27, 18:22 4

  - *self-censored for the good of the community* -- nm - b. May 27, 17:59 3
    - Yeah, I pretty much censored my own taste-for-penis type reply earlier today. But it's what we're all thinking. -- nm - mara May 27, 18:45 1
      - well, that was along the lines of one possibility. -- nm - b. May 27, 18:47

  - There is so much out there on Trump that would completely cripple any other candiate - amoxy May 27, 17:52
  - What scandal could possibly take him out? He's already on record with things that have killed other candidates. - TWuG May 27, 17:39

- According to Trump, “We’re going to get it done, and we’re going to get it done quick. Don’t even think about it.” -- nm - Spawn May 27, 17:29

        I see now that there are reports it's a ww2 plane; but that's not what's associated with the faa-assigned tail number. -- nm* - b. May 27, 18:03 5
