Apologies in advance if there are other world leaders attempting to profiteer from this pandemic in the way trump may be. :roll: This just happened to be an article a fb friend shared that popped up in my feed. Par for the course for this guy, though.. not surprised.

Politicians are almost always corrupt.
Bella Abzug owned stock in IBM and AMF (American Machine Foundries) that made complex weapons for the US during the Vietnam War while she was protesting the war.

And our foreign secretary at the time of the release of the Lockerbie bomber owned property in Libya via a front company in Bermuda.
Our current government privatised swathes of our unemployment & prison system into the hands of “tax-exiles” who fund their party, surprisingly enough the cost per head of that system has gone up by 150%.

What a shocker, he's been hyping it like he's scheduled after Billy Mays because he stands to benefit from increased sales during this crisis. Donald Trump is predictably corrupt.

I'm not reading the whole thing.
Please note the highlight in the quote below:
Quote:
President Donald Trump reportedly owns a stake in a company that produces hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria drug he has repeatedly touted as a coronavirus treatment even though his experts say there’s no strong evidence it works.


Fake news isn't dead and buried.
I am not saying the source is wrong.
I am saying I don't automatically embrace what is "reported".

Time will tell. :wink:

Unless you have more information than I have,
You are jumping to conclusions, again.
Please supply if you do. :wink:

I'm commenting based on the story posted and his previous track record.

I'm sure you have a source if it's been debunked.

Only sources that attack Trump are required. :mrgreen:

Maybe that's your standard, I just prefer to have claims verified. :roll:

So he has a stake, it's just fairly negligible. That's really not the same as 'it's been debunked', that's 'it's actually quite minor, here's why:'

Marketwatch wrote:
he holds a stake in Sanofi that’s worth $1,485 — and, at the minimum, just $99


It's fair to say that's not likely a significant motivator for him here.

I'm voting for Joe Biden for sure now. Mission accomplished.

When the campaigning was done here in 16 and 18 it was Trump this and Trump that. And I expect to see the same this year. I'm not expecting much along the lines of positive threads about Biden as a voting incentive, just mainly negative threads about Trump.

Campaigning used to go "I LIKE IKE" he's our man and all that. Now it's "TRUMP SUCKS!". Society has become more juvenile instead of sophisticated over time.
