The TBL Tweet of the Day for 12/15/2016

Today was supposed to be the day that Donald Trump held a press conference to address his many conflicts of interest between the presidency and his businesses, but he weaseled out of the presser because he found more important things to do, standing up for one of his minor businesses. The morning was summarized well by @abwhite7:

Trump is too busy for press conf on conflicts of interest.

But it took less than 16hrs to attack Vanity Fair for Trump restaurant review. pic.twitter.com/grz0qmWKVo

The TBL Tweet of the Day for 12/14/2016

The trueblueliberal.org tweet of the day from @RexHuppke is a perfect summation of Donald Trump's half-hearted attempt to deal with his conflicts of interest:

Trump putting his kids in control of his business to avoid a conflict is like me putting a donut in my other hand to avoid eating a donut.
