Other presidents put their businesses on hold during their presidencies. Trump has accelerated his, I'm sure under the theory  "strike while the iron is hot". 

I seem to remember one Jimmy Carter who turned his business over to his brother Billy (I still have an unopened six-pack of Billy Beer). What a mistake that was.

Jimmy Carter who turned his business over to his brother Billy

Jimmy was serving in the Navy at the time of the peanut farm turnover and Billy Beer was never owned by the Carters. It was owned by the Falls City Brewing Company who capitalised on Billy's familial  relationship to his by then famous brother.

You knew this.

Yes I did. However,

Jimmy Carter did not explicitly "turn over" the family peanut business to his brother, Billy.  While Billy did manage the business, Jimmy's transition to politics and his subsequent presidency led to Billy taking on a larger role.  The decision to hand over the business management to Billy was likely a combination of Jimmy's career change and a desire to help him deal with personal struggles, including alcoholism.  

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Jimmy's Rise:

  As Jimmy Carter's career progressed into politics and he eventually became President, he naturally had less time to dedicate to the family peanut business.  
• Billy's Role:

  Billy Carter took on a more prominent role in the family business, particularly after Jimmy's presidency.  
• Personal Factors:

  While the exact timeline and specific details are sometimes debated, it's widely believed that concerns about Billy's drinking problem were also a factor in his increased responsibility with the business.  
• Not a Formal Transfer:

  There's no evidence to suggest that Jimmy ever formally "turned over" the business to Billy.  It was more of an evolution of roles and responsibilities as Jimmy's career moved in a different direction.  
• Billy's Success:

  Billy, in fact, reportedly made more money running the business than Jimmy ever did, according to some accounts.

I seem to remember one Jimmy Carter

Yes, and Jimmy Carter and Trump always seemed difficult to differentiate from each other...

as one was a planter and cultivater of peanuts,

the other,

planted lies and theories, that through conspiracy theories and alternate realities, has put our Democracy in Peril, harbors and is moored to much MORE, than was ever envisioned, but never told US his stool was pigeoned. All while Trump cultivates his own brand of nuts that come in a sack, or pack, just like your 6 pack, and both examples show US All what a mind washed can do, as so many so did,not weight, as the gravity of this making America Sewer Grate again

Billy, in fact, reportedly made more money running the business than Jimmy ever did, according to some accounts.

So Billy was the original Hunter Biden. profiting off a relationship with the President.

Silly boy ...

profiting off a relationship with the President.

Did Jared getting Two BILLION from ME Investors ever bother you>?

Now, now Ig...s, George is this site's one and only indie thinker.

I realize to partisan hacks that details don't matter, but here is a detail for you, Jared didn't get 2 billion. any more than my investment broker got my money, he gets a standard fee for INVESTING my money. he doesn't get my money.

Now to the point you are so obviously avoiding, Hunter isn't unique, family has been profiting off the relationships with famous people for decades, what is telling is you point out Jared while making excuses for Bidens bastard producing son.

Hunter isn't unique,

No he is not, nor is the ubiquitous squirrel commentary you insist on posting.

I think I am going to have to make a formal announcement about this, on the front page. If you are going to use AI, you must state that the information is given by AI, since it can't be sourced. Not doing so will result in an 8 point ticket, since it is a misrepresentation, and that is not allowed by the CoC or the ToS.

Any information gained by AI should be verified.   An AI tool such as ChatGPT gives the best answer it can based on its training.   But the corpus of data on which it (et.al.) is trained is not 100% perfect.

These AI tools are awesome, but they need to be verified.

Perrie,  hi!

There are regular links to news stories in some or all the AI accounts I use. I actually read the sources. Those links themselves are source materials that can be drawn from for 'publishing' here. Yes?

Of course, AI materials which are its 'summations' may not supply any article links to where it pulled information from, that I understand has to be given its (Ai) 'credit' here, yes?

Sorry, but I DID state AI............from my comment

The advertised golden visa does not specify which country it is for, but in February the President announced the concept of selling a "gold card" visa for $5 million potentially offering wealthy buyers residency in the U.S. and granting them a pathway to citizenship.  (emphasis mine)

Seems somebody thinks the ‘golden visas’ are immediate citizenship.  

In ten years the Republican Party will be dust.  Immigration will look entirely different once Trump has destroyed the economy and Democrats have come in to clean up their mess again.  Rinse and repeat.

And what does that have to do the idiotic assumption I mentioned?

Ten year visa … “in ten years” … hello?

As the article states:

pathway to citizenship.

Or did you miss that?

You are clearly incapable of understanding.

In ten years the Republican Party will be dust.  Immigration will look entirely different once Trump has destroyed the economy and Democrats have come in

yes. Yes.  White democrats have been saying for 20 years that once they import enough minorities who will vote as ordered republicans will be toast. Just wait x years…

the last round of open borders gave us trump and turned native minorities into republicans. how many more million illegal aliens will you import this time? 

That's rich coming from somebody how tried to deflect.  

In ten years the Republican Party will be dust.  

We should be so lucky.  Probably not going to happen though since it will likely just mutate itself into another grotesque aberration as it keeps doing every few years.

Today’s Republican Party is so hopelessly fractured and splintered I don’t even know why anyone would consider the name “Republican” to be representative of all the factions as one.  The only thing they all have in common is a spineless devotion to their abusive spouse named DJT.  Once they finally get the backbone to kick that piece of shit to the curb where it belongs, it will be a battle to see which faction gets to logically keep using the title.

Do you get out much?  Been to an airport lately?  How about a turnpike rest area?  Look around.  Your whiteness will stand out like a sore thumb.  It’s America, and it was built by and for all kinds of nationalities.  Your racist leanings won’t change that any more than Trump’s deportation agenda.

D onald Trump, who has long tried to suggest he has little to do with the operations of his business empire, retains power over the trust that holds his assets, according to a filing his business submitted to British regulators last month.

The document, titled “notice of individual person with significant control,” identifies Donald John Trump, born in June 1946, as someone with influence over Golf Recreation Scotland Limited, the entity through which the president holds Trump Turnberry, a golf resort that hosted four British Opens before Trump purchased it in 2014.

A more detailed section of the filing, labeled “nature of control,” specifies that “the person has the right to exercise, or actually exercises, significant influence or control over the activities of a trust.” The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust holds Golf Recreation Scotland Limited and, via a web of additional entities, virtually every other asset in Donald Trump’s empire. By stating that Trump has control over the trust, his business appears to admit that Trump maintains a grip on his entire empire.

The “nature of control” section goes on to describe the role of the trust’s designated trustee or trustees, during Trump’s first term his son Don Jr. and executive Allen Weisselberg (with Eric Trump serving as chairman of the advisory board of the trust). “The trustees of that trust (in their capacity as such) have the right to exercise, or actually exercise, significant influence or control over the company,” the document says. Or, in plain English: Trump delegated authority while retaining ultimate power.

Of course he did. In early 2017, after Trump promised he would not talk about his business with his heirs, first son Eric Trump   told   Forbes   that the president would receive financial updates “probably quarterly.” Around that time,   ProPublica obtained a document   suggesting that Trump could demand money from the trust at any point. The president spent much of his first term visiting his properties, decamping to Mar-a-Lago so often that he nicknamed it the “winter White House.” His ambassador to the United Kingdom   reportedly told people   Trump asked him to look into whether the British government could help direct the British Open to Turnberry. The president also tried to steer the G7 meeting of global leaders to his golf resort in Miami. A document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2024 said that Trump remains the sole beneficiary of his trust.

Even in moments that the president has feigned separation from his business, he sometimes hints at the truth. For example, in 2017, Trump hosted a press conference to highlight his moves to hand things off to his heirs. At the conclusion of the event, however, he couldn’t help but assert control: “I hope at the end of eight years, I’ll come back and say, ‘Oh, you did a good job.’ Otherwise, if they do a bad job, I’ll say, ‘You’re fired.’” He also named an ethics lawyer during his first term, Bobby Burchfield, then replaced him with William Burck. In a social-media post last month, Trump suggested his business should ditch Burck. Eric Trump   confirmed   within hours that the Trump Organization was parting ways with the attorney.
