Conflicts of Interest With Trump’s Businesses Are Already Occurring

After watching the Trump presidential campaign there is no doubt among people of reason that the man has no ethics.

So it comes as no surprise that he is extremely reluctant to separate himself from his business interests during his administration. As the title of this OP and the article at the link below state, conflicts of interest with Trump's businesses are already occurring.

Of course, his fans will defend this conflict, in the same breath they are condemning Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing where there was none.

This is just another in a long list of examples that conservatives are total hypocrites, that the Republicans service is exclusively to the super-rich, and that they oppose anything that benefits average Americans.

Trump is a self made billionaire maker....yes, building a wall of separation between his public and private affairs will take little time...

Look at Hillary, she built a pipeline between cash and political influence overnight....

Your article fails to specify what these conflicts of interest are.

What do you expect the guy to do, sell his business?

I like it when a liberal makes their argument so glaring stupid Stevie Wonder could see it. Hillary Clinton SOLD favors while...
First Lady
Senator
Sec. Of State

That alone is over a DECADE of selling interests and that is NOT counting Arkansas. Now Trump on the other hand is not even sworn in. So YOU idiot CLAIM his conflict of interest with NO proof NOR does he have the power and Hillary has a PROVEN track record of over a DECADE doing it.

The article falls short of showing any evidence. But, you can bet the ethics committee will be watching Trump like a hawk.

there is no legal requirement for a sitting president to place his personal assets and businesses in a blind trust

It's amazing how much more corrupt Trump will become, according to liberals, with each passing day.

Poor fragile Snowflakes.

Yeah, pretty soon, he'll be towing the Earth into the sun. All to cover his 4 bankruptcies. LOL!

Or maybe because Trump has given little assurance that he'll put all his business interests aside.

From your article:

"The gold standard of conflict avoidance is a “blind trust” in which an officeholder’s assets are liquidated and reinvested by a trustee with no input from the elected official."

Does anyone actually think that Trump will permit his vast assets to be liquidated? I don't recall Washington or Jefferson stripping themselves of their assets. In fact, it's a recent tradition, with Lyndon Johnson being the first to employ such a trust.

There is no requirement for him to do so. Beyond turning it over to his kids, he can tell the whiners to pound Miami Beach.

What does "put them aside" mean? Do you expect him to sell off his real estate empire?

That's relative painless when your assets are mostly stocks and financial instruments. When it's a business you own, then it cuts a lot deeper.

Link?

That what the OP's link was actually about. The fact that Trump has yet to take the same steps as every other president elected. That itself doesn't show corruption, but it doesn't breed confidence either.

Trump is not going to sell his business, and it would be absurd to expect him to.

Every other president did not.

Why does that seem to be a theme with Trump? That he's a special little snowflake that shouldn't be held up to the same expectations as other presidents.
