You had to see this coming, liberals will complain if Trump has a hair out of place. Anyway, CONFLICTS of INTEREST is the latest trend. Apparently they're at a loss for material. So let's talk reality, it will be fun.
Which of the following are Trump's options. Sell stocks and:
Buy mutual funds: Nope, can't do that. Mutual funds own stock.
Buy govt. treasury bonds: Nope, can't do that for certainty. Policy impacts those as well, and besides, he runs the govt.
Money market: Nope, can't do that. These invest in stock.
Savings account: Nope, can't do that. These invest in stock.
IRA, Pension etc.: Yep, you know the answer, can't do it.
Result: He needs to put all his money into a vault someplace, because all else is liberally declared a conflict of interest.
Now for some more fun. There are some vague laws that imply a POUS cannot have a conflict of interest. Sorry mother fuckers, but every POUS in our lifetime with any of above investments had a "conflict of interest". Even a deadbeat like Obama. Example, GM buyouts. You have stock in GM MFer? "Just mutual funds". Ah, you broke the law.
