Well, I did. Collective guilt, I guess.
(I admit again I don't know how you handle things - I kinda know he probably already would have been in Western Europe - but that this is mostly wishful thinking on my part regarding Trump. Obviously I have to adapt my picture of your democracy more towards Bulgaria.)
Isn't there really a law regarding abuse of power for personal benefit?
Quote:Richard Briffault, an expert in government ethics at Columbia Law School, told AFP that Trump's use of the presidential bully pulpit to defend his daughter's business "was inconsistent with any notion of the ethical obligations of a public official".Link
...from what I understand, were he a government official this (and some other things) would be sufficient reason to ask for resignation - but it isn't for a president. Rules are more lenient towards the president then for his own cabinet members. Seems odd.
