      I think Lutnick should resign simply because he tells bald face lies about close allies of the USA.

      His connections to this Epstein affair are a secondary footnote to his demonstrated incompetence as Commerce Sec’ty.

        Who is paying Howard Lutnick and how much? (Must be lots.) Why would a middle manager care?

          Middle manager? He ran Cantor Fitzgerald (when I was in the business the largest treasury dealer) for years.

            Yea but that was then. Secretary of Commerce is what? So who does he work for? Cantor Fitzgerald--fine, the US government well then fine too. But you can't work for both at the same time.

              Bondi is bit of a shite, no?
              But then, what to expect from Teflon Trump(CF).
              Nothing sticks, he evades the draft, he evades tax (paid more to a porn star than the tax man over a decade), and now there's his friendship with Epstein.
              Trump knew, how could he not, of 50 year old Epstein's activities with teenage girls. Given all we know as fact, given Trump"s recorded attitude towards women, his criminal fraud conviction, do you think Trump was likely to partake?

              I do feel for you folk having such an awful man as leader; especially when he's caused the cost of a bottle of wine in the US to increase by nearly a quarter!
              You pay tax to King Trump

                I have no issue with criticizing Trump. I do lots of it myself. But repeating nonsense like he paid Stormy Daniels more than taxes is provably untrue. He banned Epstein from his club prior to his arrest and Epstein socialized with pretty much everyone in higher society. The criminal fraud conviction was a fraud in itself.

                Don't let your hatred of the man distort your viewpoint. It cheapens your argument.

                  Oh come on Mik, it's recorded he paid Stormy$130k.
                  The NYTimes recorded how much tax he paid over years.

                  It's laughable what he gets away with. The couple claimed $70k and $100k in a year for their hairdressing as business expenses. Tip of iceberg when you read about his business dealings
                  Ultimately you pay towards his fraud.

                    The Times cherry picked the years they wanted to. In 2005 he paid $38 million in income taxes. In some years he paid no income tax, but he paid lots in property and other taxes. your assertion is cherry-picked and ludicrous. You are blinded by hate. But then you're not alone in that.

                      To think that Trump is special amongst wealthy people in legally paying as little in tax as possible, is probably not reality. One can dunk on Trump as being especially egregious for some things, but finding legal ways to reduce taxes isn't one of them.

                      Education is extremely important.

                        Indeed Andy is not alone in that.

                        While Americans can love, like, dislike or hate Trump in various degrees their view is tempered one way or another by the US Constitution and his role in elected office as President. On the other hand those of us, like Andy and I, on the outside of the US who have been collectively and adversely affected by his policies, whose country has been maligned by his bald face lies and threats we all hate or loathe him untempered and in ways peculiar to our individual national identities. We believe him to be a disgrace in every manner. Quite unfit for the responsibility and authority the Constitution gives him to perform his duties of office.

                          I have no issue until that emotional kneejerk reaction causes one to spout demonstrably false mythical talking points. As I said, there's plenty to criticize, but nothing is as black and white as one side would have you believe.

                            Maybe we're not the actual problem here.

                            I'm sure I'm not the only one getting a little tired of being told that I'm the one who's deranged, when it's quite clear where most of the derangement lies.

                                To be honest, my Canadian citizenship is considerably more appealing at this stage, based on what's going on across the pond.
