"When President-elect Donald Trump enters the White House next year he will bring with him potential conflicts of interest across all areas of government that are unprecedented in American history.
"Trump, who manages a sprawling, international network of businesses, has thus far refused to put his businesses into a blind trust the way his predecessors in the nation’s highest office have traditionally done. Instead he has said his businesses will be run by his own adult children.
"Donald Trump Jr, Trump’s eldest child, has insisted that Trump’s holdings would go into a trust managed by him and his siblings Eric and Ivanka Trump.
“'We’re not going to be involved in government,' Trump Jr told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in September on Good Morning America. 'He wants nothing to do with [the company]. He wants to fix this country.'”
Americans who were concerned about the Clinton Foundation and its affect on Hillary should be at least as concerned with Donald's global empire.
And you can't turn your business interests over to your children and call that a blind trust.

"He loves America"....that is why he hasn't paid taxes in years. That is why he has never, ever, done anything for the country he loves....never run for office, never served in the military, never volunteered to help anyone without some personal enrichment at stake.
In fact, his ego will keep him from making good decisions. That has been evident in the campaign.

I'd turn the business over to the kids as well. Why hand over control to anyone else?

He pays plenty of taxes each and every year. And why lie about him never helping anyone? There are plenty of stories of this very thing, like when he housed Jennifer Hudson and her family when a family member was murdered.
No worries, I knew you'd not take this crushing defeat so well.
Now, let's apply your logic and see how committed to it you are. Do EIC recipients, many of whom end up with a total refund of all taxes paid, love America? They don't pay taxes, so they don't love America, correct?
I say they do love America. Unfortunately, the love is really a love of free stuff.

And let's be clear: the fact that Trump loves America, is one of the reasons leftists HATE him. And having a beautiful, charming, intelligent First Lady who loves America? What do end up with? Social media afire with assassination wishes and threats.

Would that qualify legally as a blind trust? It seems like there would be at least an apparent conflict of interest

They have to lie, Thinker. Their world came crashing down, the country told them to go scratch, and in order to justify their hatred, they must lie.
If they wanted to, they could check it out themselves...

So Trump helped someone...was his charity for the benefit of the country? Nah...
You are comparing people who barely scrape by to a billionaire who manages to make millions and avoid income taxes....does that actually make sense to you?
"Crushing defeat"? Yeah...since I voted for Joe Biden...I guess you are right....How do you feel about the fact that more people voted against Trump than voted for him?
Well, the first lady is truly unique...the first one to have done soft core porn.
What was the lie?
Barbella
Senator
The lie was OBVIOUSLY that Trump "never volunteered anyone without some personal enrichment at stake". https://www.truthorfiction.com/trump-unthinkable-liz-conklin/
As far as serving in the military? Did Obama? Did, in fact, Hillary? Do you see how hypocritical your statement on this issue is?
As far as taxes... Trump did only what every smart business owner does... yourself included, more than likely. But... that's 'different', right? LOL
And you think that would be a blind trust?
He did like everyone else does, he took advantage of the legal loopholes in the tax code and saved as much as he could, just like you do and I as, well legal deductions is what they are.
But you can continue to beat that dead horse until its a fine powder if it makes you feel good

You're pro-choice, aren't you? Who are you to judge her? It's her decision, right? With that in mind, THANK GOD Mooooochelle hasn't done soft core porn.

No. What gave you that impression? Can you cite ANYTHING that would give any rational person that impression?

There were a few. First off, you said he hasn't paid taxes in years. That's a LIE. Second, what Barbella just posted. Why do you post such clear and blatant nonsense? Do you really think you won't be challenged?

Trump has helped many people. And creating jobs does a lot of good for the country. You don't think the jobs at your restaurant are good for the country? I disagree.
Yes, a person, whether rich or poor, doing everything legally possible to pay the least amount possible makes perfect sense to me.
Thanks for reminding me you voted for Joe Biden. LOLOLOLOL
