It is based on facts: That he 1) Boasted about grabbing women by their genitals;

In fact, he was speaking in the second person, in a hypothetical example with explicit mention of consent.


2) Refused to condemn neo-Nazis in Charlottesville;

He did, in fact, immediately condemn the so-called neo-Nazis, who were, in fact, the victims of assaults based solely on their presumed lack of right to exist or express their positions. The action of his which was the excuse to criticize his response to that incident was to ALSO criticize people who committed the attack and started the violence. Because only a racist and deplorable human being would criticize people who bring weapons and wear black masks to a political rally.


3)Continues to profit from the Trump organization, from which he has refused to clearly divest his interests, and which continues to reap slef-dealt campaign and foreign money.

He's making pocket change on it. He is not getting contracts for supply the government or any evidence of preferential treatment. The supposition is that somehow his being president is affecting the business his hotels do, along with the nonsensical idea that his decisions will be swayed by the choice of ambassadors and lobbyists to patronize his hotels.

As far as campaign funds go, he spent less than most candidates, so I don't see how this stuff about his alleged campaign finance misbehavior is any real violation of the spirit or purpose of the rules
