    then further this morning:
    "U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has charged a top financial services firm led by President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to become Secretary of Commerce with violating federal law, according to multiple reports.

    Cantor Fitzgerald, led by its CEO and chairman Howard Lutnick, was charged by the SEC with “violating laws related to disclosures by so-called blank-check companies before they raise money from the public,” CNBC reports. “The SEC said that Cantor agreed to settle the case by saying the firm would not violate the relevant securities laws again and pay a $6.75 million civil penalty.”

    Can't make this stuff up.

    well it may be true and it might not- but I would not be so sure as to trust a source from CNBC - if it plays out to be true then he will be dumped and someone else will be chosen

    Isn't Cantor Fitzgerald the company that lost almost all of its employees on 9/11?

    Let's wait until we get confirmation from Fox "News", home of the $787,500,000 defamation (lying) settlement.

    It is true.

    https://www.sec.gov/files/litigation/admin/2024/33-11339.pdf

    Also, why do you suppose that the guy who was criminally convicted of lying on business documents be concerned about lying in business disclosures?

    These are from 2017. I expect to see an almost identical trend after he takes office this January.

    By the way Trump's nominees for Executive Branch positions are also polling very poorly.

    Not predictions but real possibilities. Trump could be the first American President to be impeached three times and possibly the first one removed from office through the invocation of the 25th Amendment.

    Don't hold your breath. There are no guardrails. Not enough votes to impeach him again, no matter what he does.
