Trump should have gotten rid of his businesses.
This was entirely predictable. People predicted this. The president’s refusal to divest from his personal businesses puts US national security at risk every single day. He has been warned, he is aware, and he does not care. https://t.co/ickrdxwHF0

The irony of this Mar A Lago Chinese spy story is how utterly inept she was…imagine how many competent state-level intel players have penetrated that place. Jesus. I wouldn't even use the SCIF there.

Secret Service throwing management at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago under bus in statement on malware episode: “The Secret Service does not determine who is invited or welcome at Mar-a-Lago; this is the responsibility of the host entity.” H/T @nytmike

“[Mar-a-Lago] is not Camp David… It’s not Kennebunkport, George H. W. Bush’s isolated coastal Maine house. It’s not the ranch in Texas. Because those are private homes. This is a club that’s open for business.” – @JonLemire w/ @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/IchVr9YiBF
