Trump 'explicitly tying his personal business interests' to U.S. diplomacy, U.K. experts warn after golf club tweet

Experts have warned that President Donald Trump’s recent tweet about his Scotland golf course clearly indicates that he links his personal business interests with foreign diplomacy.

At the end of last month, the Trump golf course was ordered by a U.K. court to pay the Scottish government’s legal fees regarding a court battle over a North Sea wind power development, the BBC reported. The case dates back to before Trump’s tenure as president, when his organization battled unsuccessfully in court to stop the development, arguing it would harm the view from the resort.

Trump’s tweet and insinuation was also condemned by former director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics Walter Shaub. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington , an ethics watchdog, released a statement slamming Trump’s comment as well. The group said the president was “using an official statement as an ad for his business and making sure everyone knows he ties his business to U.S. relationships with foreign countries,” and that “we have to ask if the president views any difference between his presidency and his business empire.

Arrrrrggghhh this is a disgrace. I am fed up!

I am glad the U.K. experts see the danger in this, many Americans are still blinded by the image of this buffoon to see common sense.

Like the Clinton-foundation?
