   Not sure it really is legal, though, in this case.  If he helped people   
   like Schwab, who isn't in Congress, make a bunch of money, that means that   
   folks outside of the White House knew what was going to happen.  Chances   
   are Trump told them.  Pretty sure that isn't legal.  ;)

   That is what some are pushing for here, or preventing investment entirely.

   We have actually been getting some intermentent news about US manufacturers   
   closing plants up there.  They are closing, or delaying, them here also.
