    Why the fuck are Trump's goon children involved in this meeting with tech CEO's? Am I the only one that think this is getting totally fucking ridiculous?

    Surprised he didn't have little 10 year old Barron to chair the meeting...because, you know, he's unbelievable with computers and stuff.

    • it's because they are running his businesses and there is no conflict of interest, we promise.lowimpakt
    • the people elected the Trump corporation as President, now stop whining about it you fucking sore losersmonospaced
    • The United States of America. A wholly owned subsidiary of Trump Corporation.BusterBoy
    • so fucked up.Gnash
    • but at least it's out in the open.Gnash
    • not really, the 'deals' won't be known about for a long time. Get ready for the D's to start years long investigationsformed
    • must be a sweet gig to be a lawyer investigating, no conclusion/responsib... $1000/hr and job securityformed
    • Getting? Also, look at this shining example of diversity in the tech sector.monkeyshine
    • Is it really so shocking that a president elect that wants to grow American jobs is going to hire and consult with experienced businessmen?IRNlun6
    • oh is that what we are calling corrupt, corporate interests now? experience is exactly what trump supporters wanted drained, for the fucking record, by the waymonospaced
    • I mean, some people went insane when they found out Hillary even talked to these companies. Said trump was not going to work for wall st. Bunch of bullshit.monospaced
    • His children have no right at all to be in on that meeting.BusterBoy
    • Just meetings at this point, but the ethics of nepotism in the politics world vs business is different so should be interesting how he handles that one.IRNlun6
    • Steve Jobs was only 12 years old when he called the CEO of HP (Bill Hewlett) for some spare parts.omg
    • The fuck does that have to do with Trump's slimy swamp spawn?face_melter
    • It's a comparison to the "surprising" idea that Barron is unbelievable with computers which reasons why children can be in the same room.omg
    • It's a bit disturbing the anti-family rhetoric that going on here. BusterBoy flaming on about rights, its a privilege.omg
    • anti-family? go fuck off.lowimpakt
    • lol @SteveJobssted
    • all you morons 1. because they can leak information to 3rd party entities. 2. unlawfully gain an advantage for their own businesssted
    • people want to believe there's some big secret. This is not the war room. They're not discussing the new iPhone 8 designs.omg
    • Family members can keep secrets just as much as non-family members. I'm sure they have more brains to join discussions than to simply say "fuck off"omg
    • lol omg - you sound like you are convincing yourself it's okay most of the time.fadein11
    • lol @ anti-family rhetoric ... wake upmonospaced
    • what possess you guys to want to destroy the family on both ends of the womb? must be your fear of god.omg
    • It's no longer legal to appoint family members, but it used to be. JFK hired his brother Bobby as Attorney General.IRNlun6
    • And relatives are not legally allowed to receive classified info so not sure what some are afraid would leak. Ironic though, cough cough Clinton...IRNlun6
    • Insider trading is a risk, but they're likely surrounded by lawyers advising what is/is not permissible.IRNlun6
    • If this were an office, agency or other establishment in government, hiring relatives would be issues. However corporations are not bound to the same rules.omg
    • The Trump Corp. is no more operating as a public official, than Apple or Facebook.omg
    • Unlike Hillary where you never knew where politics and business started and ended. :: cough, cough$ :: It's clearly defined with boundaries & limitations here.omg
    • omg...you're off your fucking tree if you think this is anything like Clinton(s).BusterBoy
    • It's nothing like the Clintons "pay to play" scam which was the point.omg
    • He's scamming this shit in plain sight to make people think it's legit. It's fucking fraudulent.BusterBoy
    • how exactly are you drawing this conclusion of yours?omg
    • @omg, are you blind? the line has not yet been drawn between trump corp. and his upcoming position, and it's actually a huge issue, more than the clintonsmonospaced
    • he's the head of several companies with global interests spanning decades ... there's already plenty of paying to play with this guy and you're ignoring itmonospaced
    • I'm not ignoring anything. I'm just not seeing this fictional world you are claiming. Meanwhile you'd happily barrage InfoWars for conspiracy theories.omg
    • the fictional world where Trump is surrounding himself with the heads of corporations? Please.monospaced
    • Where his business interests are in direct conflict with his political ones? Where he's more publicly concerned about a review than Aleppo? Please.monospaced
    • It's not fiction. This is actually happening. It's quite public.monospaced
