The mainstream media is now trying to pivot back to Donald Trump’s glaring conflicts of interest after helping him win the election by focusing on Hillary Clinton’s emails.

There were so many red flags about Donald Trump’s holdings that were ignored because they preferred to hammer the Clinton Foundation, reprint WikiLeaks trove of stolen emails and have a feeding frenzy over Clinton’s private email server. All of which pale in comparison to the hot mess that is now unfolding before our eyes over Trump’s assets. They didn’t even bother pressing him to release his tax returns or show proof of an audit during the presidential campaign.

Washington Post:  “Though Trump rose to prominence as a New York builder, most of the Trump Organization’s business growth in recent years has been through real estate, management and licensing deals with developers and investors overseas.”

“Many of those deals involve licensing the Trump name: a valuable quantity when Trump was a famous businessman, now made more lucrative when attached to a U.S. head of state. Trevor Potter, a former Federal Election Commission chairman and general counsel for George H.W. Bush, said foreign investors could seek to seal deals with Trump’s children in hopes of cozying up or currying favor with America’s businessman in chief.”

The Washington Post also found that Trump registered eight companies in Saudi Arabia during the presidential campaign. That’s while he was calling on Hillary Clinton to give back the donations the Clinton Foundation had received from Saudi Arabia.

The New York Times on Trump Towers Pune:  “Since Donald J. Trump won the presidency, they have celebrated the growth that Mr. Trump’s win could bring to their brand, even flying to New York last week to meet with the president-elect and his family as he was assembling his cabinet.”

“We will see a tremendous jump in valuation in terms of the second tower,” said Pranav R. Bhakta, a consultant who helped Mr. Trump’s organization make inroads into the Indian market five years ago. “To say, ‘I have a Trump flat or residence’ — it’s president-elect branded. It’s that recall value. If they didn’t know Trump before, they definitely know him now.”

Of course, the NY Times story isn’t the lead story on the page. It’s buried under Trump’s transition process being turned into a spectacle. Fake news won the day, while the mainstream media sat on its hands while attacking Clinton relentlessly over nothing. The media force-fed the general public a lot of crap about Clinton while waving a white flag at Donald Trump. As the dust settles, we are now witnessing the collapse of American democracy. The media  played a huge role in helping Vladimir Putin accomplish his mission of f*cking with our election by electing a buffoon.
