Trump Says Any Conflicts Of Interest Were Priced Into Your Vote

In other words Trump is saying, you knew had no ethics and you voted for me. So, it is your fault if I still lied and break conflict of interest laws.

Thirteen days after winning the presidential election, Donald Trump announced on Twitter that no one should worry about the potential conflicts of interest he could face over his range of global properties because everyone knew about them when they elected him. He blamed any questions of impropriety on the media for reporting on them.

The evening tweet from the president-elect reads: “Prior to the election it was well known that I have interests in properties all over the world.Only the crooked media makes this a big deal!”

The declaration that he currently has global properties comes after promising that he would separate himself from his Trump Organization and hand the company off to his adult children Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump in a so-called blind trust. He has so far done no such thing. In fact, his tweet is a statement in the present tense ― “I have interests in properties all over the world” ― that affirms his current ownership and management of his business empire.

Well, if this defense works for Trump, why couldn't it work for Hillary?

Suppose Hillary were to have tweeted:

"Prior to the election it was well known that I have an interest in the Clinton Foundation. Only Donald Trump makes this a big deal! Time for the Justice Department to move on!"

Ya think there might be an outcry on the right? LOL.

Really? So if Hillary said, oh I don't know, something like, "What difference at this point does it make", there would not be an outcry from the right?
Not from me. No outcry because it's expected.
