One of the most frequent refrains from Donald Trump as he ran against Hillary Clinton was that if he won, he would go to Washington and “drain the swamp,” meaning he would eliminate the close ties between lobbyists and government officials. Take a look at his cabinet picks and you quickly realize the promise was […]
As Donald Trump prepares to take the oath of office exactly a month from today, it still remains unclear what arrangements he will make to avoid conflicts of interest between his business interests and his official duties as President of the United States.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke is a very angry man. He’s also a blowhard and a bully. So it’s little wonder that Donald Trump is such a huge fan. At a victory rally in Wisconsin earlier this week, Clarke was against front and center, giving a fiery speech in which he called for the crowd […]
