SHAUB And I think ░░░░░░░░ would be very hard ░░░░░░░░ draw a bright line ░░░░░░░░ here but the standard ░░░░░░░░ be you know don ░░░░░░░░ capitalize on your relationship ░░░░░░░░ the president And I ░░░░░░░░ this is not a ░░░░░░░░ view among many but ░░░░░░░░ is a case where ░░░░░░░░ individual would not be ░░░░░░░░ 13 pieces of art ░░░░░░░░ half a million dollars ░░░░░░░░ if he wasn t ░░░░░░░░ president s son So ░░░░░░░░ him be an artist ░░░░░░░░ let him sell them ░░░░░░░░ the torpedo factory in ░░░░░░░░ Virginia for 500 to ░░░░░░░░ 000 apiece or let ░░░░░░░░ have a big fancy ░░░░░░░░ in New York with ░░░░░░░░ the celebrities and all ░░░░░░░░ fanfare but not sell ░░░░░░░░ art You know there ░░░░░░░░ plenty of things he ░░░░░░░░ do along the lines ░░░░░░░░ art And if he ░░░░░░░░ to go into the ░░░░░░░░ as a hedge fund ░░░░░░░░ or a lawyer which ░░░░░░░░ s always done you ░░░░░░░░ some people might criticize ░░░░░░░░ his salary is to ░░░░░░░░ at the hedge fund ░░░░░░░░ his clients are too ░░░░░░░░ at the law firm ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ we have to distinguish ░░░░░░░░ reasonable fair criticism and ░░░░░░░░ criticism There s always ░░░░░░░░ be unfair criticism but ░░░░░░░░ just don t think ░░░░░░░░ can make the case ░░░░░░░░ selling 13 pieces of ░░░░░░░░ for half a million ░░░░░░░░ a pop when you ░░░░░░░░ never even journeyed into ░░░░░░░░ community center art fair ░░░░░░░░ not because you re ░░░░░░░░ president s son And ░░░░░░░░ think he knows that.”
