U.S. Declines to Renew U.S.M.C.A., Starting 10-Year Clock to Expiration

The Trump administration said Wednesday it would not immediately request to renew the North American trade agreement, leaving businesses uncertain about the trade deal’s direction.

Trump wants to convert the President position to its cash value — so he makes investments, then makes sure they gain. Then comes out with $2 Billion. Can you name another President who did anything like that? Technically it is not a violation of the emoluments clause. But ethically it is highly dubious to invest in the market, then shake the market this way and that way. There IS some insider knowledge involved. That’s the whole point!

Trump will go into the record books as about as bad an Biden, but in different ways.
