Supporting arguments · 4

  1. Donald Trump's business activities represent profitable conflicts of interest
    Donald Trump has not given up his business interests whilst president, and has received millions of dollars from foreign sources, including from many states with which the US is politically involved with. This represents a clear conflict of interest.
  2. Donald Trump avoids paying US taxes
    Donald Trump has not released his tax returns, contrary to presidential tradition. It is reported that Trump paid only $750 in federal taxes in 2016 and 2017, far less than he paid in other nations where his businesses operate.
  3. Donald Trump practices nepotism
    Donald Trump has installed his family members, such as Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, to senior posts in government which they are not qualified to hold.
  4. Donald Trump has benefitted from foreign interference
    Donald Trump benefitted from Russian interference in the 2016 election, and has been unwilling to criticise foreign interference. He is willing to undermine US sovereignty for his own personal gain.
