The devastating Newsweek article against Trump

http://www.newsweek.com/2016/09/23/donald-trump-foreign-business-deals-national-security-498081.html

Meanwhile, Trump has raised concerns in the United States among national security experts for his consistent and effusive praise for Vladimir Putin, the Russian ruler who also now controls much of Ukraine. With its founder in the White House, the Trump Organization would have an extraordinary entrée into those countries. If the company sold its brand in Russia while Trump was in the White House, the world could be faced with the astonishing site of hotels and office complexes going up in downtown Moscow with the name of the American president emblazoned in gold atop the buildings.


The dealings of the Trump Organization reach into so many countries that it is impossible to detail all the conflicts they present in a single issue of this magazine, but a Newsweek examination of the company has also found deep connections in China, Brazil, Bulgaria, Argentina, Canada, France, Germany and other countries.Never before has an American candidate for president had so many financial ties with American allies and enemies, and never before has a business posed such a threat to the United States. If Donald Trump wins this election and his company is not immediately shut down or forever severed from the Trump family, the foreign policy of the United States of America could well be for sale.

Does it really say 'site', spelled that way?

@contrex,
Meantime, I am incredulous re what is going on with the newest Trunk hotel. At least re his name on it.
Link, once I find it. If they did a good restoration, I'll listen.

I remember that Old Post Office. At least twice on visits to the area - when I was thirteen with the girl scouts, now a long time ago, and later on an area visit with my husband. I lived nearby in my past as a toddler.

@contrex,
Could have meant siting of the buildings (I've a background as a site designer).
More likely a homophone.

@contrex,
Yes, but I think that it is an astonishing site as well as a sight. Whether the writer and editor meant it or not.

@ossobucotemp,
Reply to myself - more on the Trunk Hotel - first time I think I typoed, when I call it Trunk. This time, that is what I'll call the Old Post Office:

I'll leave it at that, people will differ.
or will I leave it?
I'll venture that this follows his usual uninterest in the ability of american workers to sustain their lives with good jobs.

@ossobucotemp,
Thats why I don't know why people speak of creeping socialism. Socialism never creeps, it shows up when social institutions crumble and fail. As a capitalist myself its to my interest to have a healthy and educated workforce with ethics and ideals.
